Congratulations Dr. Rotich!

So honored to have been part of your journey and to have had the delight of co-mentoring with Maia Popova, PhD.

Dr. Rotich really did earn two PhD’s, bridging #NaturalProducts and #ChemEd .

Huge congrats to Dr. Fridah Rotich for successfully defending her dissertation in Natural Products Chemistry under the guidance of Nadja Cech, and in Chemistry Education Research alongside me! 🥳🤩 Extremely proud of Fridah's remarkable achievements at Chem + Biochem UNCG! 🦸‍♀️✨

We had a department lunch to celebrate the wonderful work that our TAs and LAs do to keep our courses running smoothly! Additionally, congratulations to all our teaching award recipients! ✨🧑‍🏫💖

Fridah Rotich will become Dr. Fridah Rotich on May 8th at 11:00 EDT. If anyone would like a link to the defense, please DM me or email me at [email protected].

I'm so proud of the excellent science that Fridah has accomplished during her time in Cech Lab.

Cech Lab Members are:
Drummers, gardeners, karate black belts, North Carolinians, Kenyans, Mexicans, first generation immigrants ... and much more.

We do better science because of the breadth of our experience.

How to show some❤️in academia 1) cite 2) lift through opportunities, collaborations, mentoring 3) listen 4) speak up&out esp if in permanent position/leadership 5) say yes to some service so others don't always have to! (all of this esp to help those historically excluded!)

Shamelessly nepotistic retweet!

Taking #naturalproducts #chemistry to elementary school kids.

Nothing like a little TLC (that’s thin layer chromatography of course) to get everyone pumped up about #botanical medicines
