Excited to share that I’ve been selected as a recipient of the Merck Research Award for Underrepresented Chemists of Color! 😁

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting @Dereklowe virtually. He gave us “Lowe-down” on drug discovery 😅 Ohio State Chemistry and Biochemistry

We love making heterocycles! Congrats to Leah, Ross, & Alyson on their new delta-desaturation of amines to make 5- & 6- aza-rings! ... not sure if I’m more excited about the heterocycles or all their clever mechanistic probes ... authors.elsevier.com/a/1e5I28jWHE9q… (open access Chem)

Incredibly lucky to have friends like these…

Incredibly excited to be at #ACSSpring2022! Come check out my talk on C-H functionalization via C-to-C HAT (Tue. 11:20 am, room 4).

Shining (blue) light on the “catalytic symphony” for the aza-Heck cyclization of imidates. Energy transfer ✅ Single electron transfer ✅ Cobalt catalysis ✅ Oxazolines, oxazoles, AND amino alcohols ✅ Always a blast working alongside Henry Sise He/Him/His and Taylor Bednar

Check out our paper on catalyst-controlled functionalization of carboxylic acids. We are so excited to see the @HeatherHintzOSU's work in Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share our most recent work on Gamma C-H functionalization of amines out now in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! Thankful to be part of such a talented team that can truly “wear many HATs”.

Excited to share our new strategy for accessing carbenes! … unstabilized, diazo-free, & catalyzed by CoCl2 or FeCl2. Kudos to Lumin, Bethany, Alyson, & Joy on their awesome new @Science paper! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congrats to our Superstar undergrad Amir Johnson Amir Johnson-Sammy on winning the top poster prize NOBCChE Official #NOBCCHE2022 !!

My mentee is awesome Liza Ryutov … and my old mentor is awesome Jason Gavenonis … AND THEY MET!… amazing 🤩 #ACSSpring2023

Double congrats to our newest PhD, Dr Alyson Paneque, PhD (she/her)! Whether by Carbenes or HLF, she always makes our chemistry twice as nice!!

5 am in Rhode Island ☺️ HetGRC 2023 was incredible! Incredible chemistry. Incredible People. I learned so much and made new friends. I definitely can't wait to see the awesome things all the grad students, postdocs, and early career scientists go on to do! Nap time now.

Had an amazing time at the #HeterocyclesGRC! Feeling inspired by the innovative chemistry happening in academia and industry. It was a privilege meeting and befriending so many fantastic chemists!

Ever wanted a cross-metathesis … but with carbonyls? Check out Prof Lumin Zhang’s last discovery before starting his own lab at SIOC … in Nature Chemistry nature.com/articles/s4155… It’s like a reverse ozonolysis!

Congrats to this amazing team! 🎉

I'm excited to share that my newest paper on radical polarity is out now in J. Am. Chem. Soc. doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4… I'm grateful to all the Radical Rockstars in the nagib lab for the discussions we've had about polarity - and hope this work sparks many more about this kinetic factor!
