An Easter-themed article this week: A Mechanistic Study of the Transubstantiation Reaction. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn wine into blood, here is your answer. PDF: jabde.com/wp-content/upl…

The final chapter of my PhD has just been published nature! It was a true team effort getting this out with Alison Wendlandt, Qiuhan, Corin Wagen, and Jacobsen Lab. Thank you NIH Common Fund U.S. National Science Foundation Harvard Chemistry Harvard Chemical Biology PhD Program for all your support! #glycotime go.nature.com/3O07NL6

Why do pKas Matter in Med Chem? | bit.ly/3nBvHRq Amines are commonly found in drugs and govern their overall properties, partly due to the tunability of their pKa. Here we highlight the importance of pKa in drug discovery. Thanks to Analiza for supporting this work.

Oh look, my first Matt sponsored group get together since joining! Thanks for putting it on Sigman Lab Sarah Lefave !

If you don’t have 25+ tabs containing journal articles that you’re “going to read soon” open at all times, are you even a scientist?

I’ve discovered there is a direct correlation to my productivity working from home to the number of cats I have. Knowing that I have to leave the two if I’m not focused has improved my productivity by at least 200%. See Video 1 below for data.

Such a great thread from the Nobel Laureate herself!

Sorry, I'm still fangirling over Carolyn Bertozzi being awarded the Nobel Prize.

Writing paper #introductions are hard. I often referred to "Writing a good introduction" by Prof. Jim Kurose during my #PhD. Now looking at it for my first draft as a #Postdoc. Link: www-net.cs.umass.edu/kurose/writing… #AcademicTwitter Academic Chatter™

Someday I hope apology tweets of this nature aren't needed. Especially with Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi being the first open member of the LGBTQ+ community to be awarded the Nobel Prize, and, on a personal level, someone who I look up to in multiple ways. But this will do, for now.

While working on my candidacy exam, I see myself as Icarus and coffee as the sun. The first thing I’ll do after I complete it is work on this coffee addiction that I’ve developed.

5 dumb things I did during my PhD...and 5 smart:

This is a super fun read! Especially on a Saturday morning with some coffee. Thanks for sharing!

I’m currently at my first ever conference- Gordon Research Conferences Stereochemistry- and I’m so blown away by how supportive all the wonderful chemists are here! I can’t believe I’m so fortunate to be able to talk about how cool the universe is for a JOB! Huge fan of asymmetric catalysis.

Not me fangirling over meeting THE Akiyama😭
