After a fierce competition, @nagiblab’s new carbene precursors emerge as our paper of the year for 2022! We thought this was a fascinating study with immense practical implications. Looking forward to seeing how this work shakes up carbene chemistry. bit.ly/3LdfBL5

Thank you! Glad to hear our publication has been so well received!😊
Last week, we held our annual Paper of the Year meeting, during which we celebrated the great chemistry published in 2022. This year’s winner was the @nagiblab’s Carbene Reactivity from Alkyl and Aryl Aldehydes science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

I’m definitely developing my “have fun anyways” skills. The older you get, fun has to be a decision. Something will always go wrong, surprise expenses pop up, people’s mood around you will be horrible, you get tired, there will always be an inconvenience, but… HAVE FUN ANYWAYS.

PSA: your DEI priorities should ALWAYS focus on making a space more inclusive and equitable, BEFORE focusing on recruiting underrepresented people to up your statistics. A reminder I didn’t think we’d need in 2022 yet here we are

I’ve gotten word from a few amazing PUIs that are hiring this year and just wanted to pass this information around incase folks were interested. All of them are wonderful institutions and have a team of great faculty members that really cherish their students growth.

Accessing carbene reactivity using stable aldehyde-derived precursors, what’s not to love!😍 This has been such an exciting and fast-paced project to work on. I’m very happy to finally see it published in @Science! Congrats Team Carbene!🥳
Excited to share our new strategy for accessing carbenes! … unstabilized, diazo-free, & catalyzed by CoCl2 or FeCl2. Kudos to Lumin, Bethany, Alyson, & Joy on their awesome new @Science paper! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
