Go eHAT team! Congrats Luke and @ChengChem! It has been fun for us to be working to promote C-H oxidation rather than our usual gig of trying to slow it down. More fun to come with @StephensonLabUM and @maldonadogroup.

Congratulations to the eHAT team on the newest publication out today in @J_A_C_S, led once again by the terrific collaboration between @ChengChem and Luke from the @PrattGroup @maldonadogroup @StephensonLabUM
