For the chemists out there, this research started in the early 2000's as one of my job proposals. It only took 20 'short' years to get it to market! Kudos to Zengquan Qin from @TheCoatesCrew who discovered the catalyst, and Scott Allen and the Novomer folks for their hard work.

In my polymer course, I teach that atactic polymers are usually amorphous, and isotactic and syndiotactic polymers are usually semicrystalline with different crystal structures. Methylated PHBs are all crystalline and isomorphic regardless of tacticity! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Our latest publication on the synthesis of sequence controlled PLGA. Awesome job by @YiyeLu on this paper! 🥳
What’s better than regio-control? Stereo- and regio- control!! Congrats to Dr. Yiye, our NMR queen, on her latest work! @YiyeLu @GeoffreyWCoates pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

So sad to hear about this tragic news. Here is a pic from the last time i got to hang out with Jeff (macro conference, summer 22). You will be missed, my friend.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved friend, colleague, and mentor, Professor Jeff Byers. You will be missed forever, may you rest in peace!
