southpaw This is stunning. I collapsed it into one image for sharing. It deserves it. Colin Cowherd has approaching 2 MILLION Twitter followers and was MAGA until 2 years ago. People should share it with RW or uncertain friends and family.

Schrödinger's cat RPMD for tunneling through a 0.2 kcal/mol barrier at 10 K, forming the anti-Markovnikov product from BH3 + propene. The part that freaks me is how long tunneling takes, literally hundreds of fs with the H spread out on both sides of the barrier.

There is no hope for humanity.

.Air Canada sucks. Just saying.

Just noting that Kamala Harris's mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a terrific scientist. Grad school at 19, PhD Berkeley at 25 in 1964! Here, she is first and corresponding author on an excellent and highly cited PNAS based on an NIH grant with her as PI. jstor.org/stable/44171

Great paper on something that I think is an important factor in organic teaching. "Instructors can best address shame experiences in their courses through actions to acknowledge, minimize, and mitigate such experiences."

By, uh, letting him blast nonsense about areas where he knows nothing?

Getting it out in 17 months was an absolute miracle. There is a long list of chemists in Pharma who in a fair world would be hailed as heroes. I salute them.

Five curved arrows at once is not a mechanism. It is a conspiracy theory.

The mashup we didn’t need and I’m sorry for making.

As local ACS chair in 1999, I got to host the banquet when Alex won the Cotton award. The night's highlight for me was talking with him about music, where his knowledge of course put mine to shame. Every time I tell undergraduates about Borodin and the aldol, I think of him.
