First PhD of the Romero Lab. Congratulations on a great thesis talk Dr. Alexander Braddock. Looking forward to your future and seeing your accomplishments!

chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… Paper number 2 for the group! So exciting to see how this research turned from the original idea. Aryl radicals generated with just a Lewis base and light. Congrats to Jonathan Galicia and Nicholas McDonald, the co-MVPs of this work. Keep it up guys!

San Diego: Noteworthy: I met talented identical twins in the Gustafson Group @ Stony Brook (SDSU, not shown👩‍🔬👩‍🔬) and the non-identical non-twin Assistant Profs Nathan and Erik Romero (UCSD, shown).😀🙃 And many other passionate scientists - wonderful day! Nathan Romero Erik A Romero

Had a great time visiting UC Merced for a seminar on our work with boron and meetings with faculty and students. Lots of great stuff going on there and a beautiful campus. Big thanks to Rebeca Arevalo for the invite and an amazing time!

This looks familiar! Thanks for the hype. This was a fun study demonstrating there is definitely more mechanistic work to be done to fully understand PC-free radical generation from these salts.

Crazy to see him gone. He was a valuable member of my doctoral committee when I was a graduate student at UCSD then he was an excellent colleague as I started my independent career here at UCSD. All this beyond just being a really great guy. Fly on my friend.

This week, I gave my first departmental colloquium focusing on our work with boron. It was an absolute blast and I can't wait to see more of this out in print soon! Keep your eyes peeled :)

Hey y’all, help us out and vote. I promise it’s for a good cause and it’ll be worth it :) also help us by re-tweeting (re-X-claiming?!) to broaden our reach!

As we come into the final 24 hours, I wanted to bring this back to the forefront to get as many votes as possible. Please share your thoughts!

Our first foray into multicomponent aminosilylation where we show excellent reactivity and selectivity without additive base activators is out in #OrgLett. It even works on complex molecules with -COOH groups! Congrats Leonel Barrios Jimenez! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Not a bad way to get away from chemistry. Just don’t ask about the score. The numbers ain’t even been invented yet 😂
