Love seeing this feature of one of our favorites! @facundofGT He is a great person and a great scientist--it has been a true gift to have him as a key collaborator in our center! #WildStreak #MassSpec #NSFfunded @ibbgatech @GTSciences

Afternoon session of Origins of Biological Macromolecules is kicking off with @DrJayTweets and followed up by @ChemBarkPaul @GregSpringsteen @facundofGT, Chris Keating, Luke Leman and Aiko Guzman! Join us at #ACSSpring2021!!
And we didn't even get to the afternoon session!! Be sure to join us all afternoon for more great #chemistry! #NSFFunded
For those attending #ACSSpring2021, I'll be giving a short talk today (Thursday) at 5:30 PM EDT (2:30 PM PDT) on "Why did life choose potassium over sodium?" in celebration of the #NSFFunded @4ChemEvolution. You may think potassium uninteresting, but in my book, it is, oh, K.
Super excited for Aaron's talk next to finish out our first session on the Origin of Biological Macromolecules at #ACSSpring2021. Be sure to join some of this awesome session! @aaronengelhart #GTalumni @GTSciences @UMNresearch
Join us in 10 minutes at #ACSSpring2021 in our #Origin of Biological #Macromolecules session all day today!! @GT_CHEM @GTSciences #NSFFunded
So excited to see this work from @facundofGT and PD Marcos Bouza demonstrating the power of TENG devices for diverse applications! One thing leads to another...and another. @GTSciences
.@facundofGT at @GeorgiaTech demonstrates a new method for identifying double bond position and stereochemistry in lipids for shotgun lipidomics using triboelectric devices. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Ten+ years. Hundreds of collaborations. Many (many) hours of intense meetings. Thousands of experiments repeated. Countless friendships made. A scientific legacy just beginning to be realized. Congrats team on a job well done! @ibbgatech @GTSciences @GT_CHEM @NSF @NASAAstrobio
The biopolymer love-fest continues with praise for the awesomeness of #RNA. Prof Lazcano spoke to lessons learned from #RNAviruses and Prof Williams on how exaptation was key to getting the #biomolecules of life. #BeOpenMinded #origins @NASAAstrobio @ibbgatech #evolution @UNAM_MX
Guessing @DrJayTweets and @ChemBarkPaul were loving Luke Leman's proclamation that depsipeptides are SO COOL that they deserve to be studied for their own innate properties...not just as a possible peptide precursor! #Origins #DynamicChemistry @NSF @NASAAstrobio @scrippsresearch
Inspiring talk about bio #homochirality by @DonnaBlackmond to finish up our first session today. Now a great conversation with our speakers about the complexity of #Origins research. @facundofGT @ChemBarkPaul @GroverGroup @ibbgatech @scrippsresearch @GTSciences
Chatting about novel ionization techniques on a beautiful Fri afternoon! Great talk by @facundofGT about #MassSpec of complex mixtures. Shout out to @DrJayTweets and @YuGroupNCKU! Team work makes the dream work! @NSF @NASAAstrobio @ibbgatech @groverlab @GTSciences #AwesomeAlumni
Life is a complex system and likely so were it's origins...#TRUTH Martha @GroverGroup speaks to the selection of molecules and the role of cycles in evolution. Love that former CCE student @christine_y_he was the Suddath award winner in 2017! @NatureChemistry @ibbgatech @GTChBE
A great first day--amazing talks and some really fabulous discussions with our speakers. Excited to continue this discussion tomorrow! Thanks @VGrassian @SzostakLab @GregSpringsteen and the other non-tweeting speakers! Inspiring science! @ibbgatech @NSF @NASAAstrobio #Origins
Getting into how small molecules and minerals influence the formation of biopolymers. @VGrassian is discussing pyruvic acid, surfaces and all the potentially cool chemistry in between! So happy to have our CCI buddy with us today! @CAICECCI @NSF @ibbgatech @UCSDChemBiochem
After a great talk, Dr. Krishnamurthy @scrippsresearch showed some great pics including this classic of CCE Director and Managing Director WAY more than 10 years ago! #Teamscience #Friends #Collaborations #AncientHistory
Not too late to join us! petitinstitute.gatech.edu/su…
And we're off! Thrilled to share so much exciting research on #Chemical #evolution over these next two days! Total #rockstar lineup kicked off by our Director, Nick Hud! @ibbgatech #origins @GTSciences @GT_CHEM @NSF #Origins @NASAAstrobio
Hey CCI friends--know any energy enthusiasts looking for a new adventure? We've got a great position at GT open for a few more days! @NSFCENTC fans, #CCISolar alum.. pass it on!
The Energy Policy and Innovation Center at Georgia Tech is looking for a Director. For info, visit the GT HR website, and search position 222596 for posting info and application.
#energytwitter Please share and retweet!
And last but certainly not least, we'll be chatting about #peptides, #RNA and #ribosomes and how they work so well together! Featuring #UNAM Prof. Lazcano, @scrippsresearch Dr. Leman and @GT_CHEM Prof. Williams. Registration Free!! petitinstitute.gatech.edu/su… @ibbgatech #Origins
