Beyond thrilled to have been accepted to the 2024 Institute for Future PUI Faculty at @LafCol !! Can’t wait to meet + work with my cohort & the Lafayette chem dept in April! Feeling blessed & one step closer to Prof. Umanzor ☺️ as always, thank you to my village @UMNChemistry 🫶🏼
I keep forgetting to post on here 😅 I had the best time co-chairing the Organometallics GRS last weekend!! So thankful for my co-chair, our invited panelists, and our 50 attendees for making our GRS a weekend of great chemistry and community building! Til next year, Newport 💙

Its really great to be seeing all of these NSF GRFP acceptances. That fellowship means so much to so many young scientists!
To those who didn't get it: be proud that you participated! I like to view rejection as direction, and sometimes we just dont win. On to the next one!

I highly encourage grad students and postdocs who wish to pursue a career at a primarily undergraduate institution to apply to the Institute for Future PUI Faculty at Lafayette College. It's a really great program! sites.lafayette.edu/puiinsti…

Got to duet Aaliyah’s More Than a Woman with @drdre4000 last night 😆 it’s always a great time when he’s in town! & as you can imagine, the joint slay was gag-worthy 🪭 remix coming soon 💅🏼
I did not have Dance Dance Revolution-esque line dancing and late night karaoke with @drdre4000, @gomobel, and other #CASFutureLeaders on my August To Do list. But it was absolutely unforgettable!
If only @petercarlton hadn't bailed...
