Quite an opportunity here.

Paper accepted today for Mason Lawrence and Aidan. Covid, a building move, and getting into some phys chem territory didn’t stop Mason. This was funded by NSERC / CRSNG and Mitacs. Learn more Monday afternoon at the #csc2024. Mason is currently a PDF with Barry Blight 🇨🇦.

Things like this weaken the allies and strengthen the opposition for peace and a long lasting two-state solution. “In recent years, she has been working closely with Holocaust survivors to tell their own stories”

If you love NMR, and you love MOFs, and you’re at the CSC, then I’ll see you at 8AM for my talk. Paper to be submitted shortly. This talk came about from a conversation with SSNMR, and my student Amanda Parsons developed it into an amazing story.

#CSC2024 is over and it was a great time with friends and colleagues. Danny Leznoff and I ran a symposium on MOFs and coordination polymers. We had a symposium dinner at the pumphouse thanks to generous support from Hiden Isochema Ltd. See y’all in Ottawa next year!

The hypocrisy of a student union that goes to Tim’s but still demands boycott and divestment is priceless.

(Pls RT) As Chair of the Award Panel of the Canadian National Committee (CNC) for IUPAC I’m excited to announce the Call for Nominations for the 2025 Travel Awards for Early Career Researchers in Chemistry to present their work at IUPAC conferences: cnc-iupac.ca/awards_e.html (1/n)

Our latest paper is online. If you were ever curious about what makes UiOs tick for CO2 adsorption, but were afraid to ask, then don’t worry cause we did. Work by Mason Lawrence and Aidan.

This is how Memorial University wants to be seen. They regularly meet with students and promptly ignore faculty.

This, 💯.

Went to the air and space museum and met these three navy frog men. They were the three that got Aldrin, Armstrong, and Collins from the Apollo 11 capsule. Very cool!

Went with the kids and family to Planet Word Museum today. It was great. Highly recommend it!!

I haven’t taught a course in a year due to parental leave. I haven’t taught 1050 in years. I never discuss middle eastern politics in my classes because I’m a chemistry prof. Memorial University, MUNFA, tell me again that there is no antisemitism and that Jews are safe.

When the war, I happened to be talking to a journal editor. I suggested a special issue with researchers who are from Israel and Palestine. I wanted to see the community come together by our similarities and not split by our differences. I think on this as I see the latter at MUN

This is a great video about peace. I did my PDF in Omar’s lab and I learned a lot from him that I am immensely grateful for.

Latest work from Hudson Bicalho!! Interested in making rare-earth analogues of MOF-808? Check out the protocols for RE-CU-45 here. Plus beautiful photoluminescence in this series of MOFs. Excited for our first work with Eva Hemmer and looking forward to more! With Victor Quezada-Novoa

Check out our latest research! Congratulations Nathan and Liam on the synthesis of Tanshinone IIA which is now in the ASAPs of Organic Letters J Org Chem/Org Lett pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Thank you to the nice North Vancouver RCMP officer who stopped as my daughter and I were walking and gave her a giant sticker. The traffic heading off the North shore was nuts and he found a moment to make her day. Thank you!

Come work with us! If you have any questions DM me - we are hiring an Tenure Track Organic Chemists! can241.dayforcehcm.com/CandidatePorta…

This is new Elmo vs Elmo after his first three year term with my daughter (I believe his contract was renewed despite the new hire). New Elmo was brought on after old Elmo was left in the car while I was not home (we keep a backup Elmo). Ask me about Baba the puffin in 3 years.
