Great summary of our paper in C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News)! Thank you for highlighting our study Dr Bethany Halford! Cell Press Cell UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr UCSF Health
Click chemistry forges new chemical bonds quickly, selectively, and irreversibly. That last feature has now become a bit more optional: researchers have found bond forming reaction that can be undone using ultraviolet light. my latest for C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News): cen.acs.org/synthesis/Radi…
The best part of my job is getting to edit the quirky science #Newscripts column in C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News). For some fun on this Friday, here's the latest column by Krystal Vasquez, PhD on some crafty chemists. cen.acs.org/education/outr…
This C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) #Newscripts has it all: a fun theme! Publishing drama! A historical mystery! Rocks! Paper! Scissors (well, technically knives, but close enough)! cen.acs.org/analytical-che…
Fionna Samuels (Fionna Samuels) forages fungi for off-planet housing and fancy food for this week's #Newscripts in C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News). I tried to convince Fionna to go with Mush-rooms in her headline, but she tells me the tech doesn't use fungal fruiting bodies. cen.acs.org/biological-che…
Interesting story from my colleague Krystal Vasquez (Krystal Vasquez, PhD), but it makes me wonder about the many people (in chemistry anyway) that are still working in the field but simply don't publish because their employers discourage it. cen.acs.org/careers/third-…
I've been writing about molecular switches since my early days at C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) - how cool it is to see one incorporated in this glucose-sensitive insulin from Novo Nordisk cen.acs.org/pharmaceutical…
For this week's #Newscripts in C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News), reporter Max Barnhart pairs a funky old cheese with underwater-aged wine. cen.acs.org/biological-che…

Polly want an enzyme? Thanks to a paper in Science Magazine I got to write about parrot plumage chemistry for C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News). cen.acs.org/biological-che…
Have you or a labmate ever lost points on an organic chemistry exam for drawing a molecule with a bridgehead alkene? You may be entitled to compensation, according to Garg Lab UCLA : cen.acs.org/synthesis/Bend…

With apologies to Chappell Roan and The Long Group Baby, do you like this zinc(H)? We made this MOF to capture C(O2) Over 199 degrees When you’re tackling global warming, tackling global warming Thanks to my C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) colleagues who encouraged the lede cen.acs.org/materials/meta…
So sad to hear we've lost Fraser Stoddart. He was always generous to me as a reporter for C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) and kind to me as a human being. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues. cen.acs.org/people/obituar…
Check out this supramolecular snub cube. Cool chemistry from Huang Wu and the late Fraser Stoddart of the University of Hong Kong along with Wenping Hu and Yu Wang of Tianjin University. My latest in C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) cen.acs.org/materials/nano…
