4 years, 27 failed routes, and 95 trips to the eucalyptus grove later
*disclaimer: numbers adjusted for inflation 🙃
Thankful to the whole team @Shenvi_Lab

Happy to share on ChemRxiv our stereoselective synthesis of (–)-eugenial C via MHAT/SH2 iron catalysis. tinyurl.com/578mp2d8
It took trial and error, rational design and even a little citizen science to locally source our starting material (thanks @SDNHM Plant Atlas!!).

Happy Birthday to the original pioneer in supernatural products and fabulous colleague, Dale @BogerLab. This post is a day late, but his science is 20 years ahead of its time, so that makes us about even. Best wishes to a great colleague and friend.

So proud of my best friend for this wonderful story. He is a role model to me and to everyone @scrippsresearch for his compassion, curiosity, and scientific rigor. Looking forward to the next one @AlbertoFGC @YuKawamata

What if you could push the limits of electrochemistry without breaking your electrodes? #alternatingpolarity
Thanks @BaranLabReads @YuKawamata @KaidHarper and the @abbvie team for this inspiring collaboration
An incredible journey made possible by @MSCActions

I am appalled that @angew_chem would publish such a racist, sexist, and anti-diversity article. The scientific community needs to step up and shape the future of the field by stamping out intolerance toward the very diversity that helps our science flourish.

This paper contains opinions that don't reflect our values and has been removed. It wasn't the final version and is pending further editing and final review. Something went very wrong here and we're committed to do better. This isn't who we are and action will be taken.

Congrats @yuzururururu on this massive feat -completing the 13 year synthesis of this monster of a molecule! I have nothing but awe for you as a chemist. Thank you for your mentorship, friendship, and for obsessing over ice cream with me. Scripps wont be the same without you.

Thank you to Ryan Shenvi for his constant support and encouragement. It is his exceptional mentorship that makes research like this possible! Stay tuned.

Lab restrictions and shutdowns have reoriented the timelines of @scrippsresearch students and postdocs. So, we're going to spend a few tweets preemptively celebrating lab members and their respective projects, which may wrap up a few weeks later than expected….
