A good day! Check it out for quite a unique metathesis mechanism and some versatile polycarbodiimides - thanks to everyone who helped us out along the way!
Big congrats to @DrakeChem, team @ZhukoGroup, and Sheiko group collaborators @uncchemistry on the publication of our @ACSCentSci paper on carbodiimide ring-opening metathesis polymerization to access nitrogen-rich polymer backbones! doi.org/10.1021/acscentsci.3…

UNC Chem lost a legend. Fred Young, who supported our department through facilities and maintenance, passed away Monday. Fred was a problem solver, a kind soul, and a friend to all. His contributions to our dept. are far and wide; it's hard to think about the future w/o him.

I'm in good company!
There are some new faces in the Zhukhovitskiy group! We are happy to welcome three stellar students, nearly doubling our lab size. We'll be introducing them 1-by-1, starting today.

👋This IS the spin-off series you are looking for. Stoked, Obi-Wan is my favorite!
Hayden Christensen returns as Darth Vader, joining Ewan McGregor in OBI-WAN KENOBI. The Original Series begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Revenge of the Sith, and is coming to #DisneyPlus.
