BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”
I had a phenomenal time at the 2025 #CASFutureLeaders program two weeks ago! I can't wait to meet up with everyone again in the future. Thank you so much to @CASChemistry and @petercarlton for putting on a fantastic program for young scientists around the globe ☺️
Thank you to the 2025 #CASFutureLeaders for an exciting and inspiring two weeks with us! We hope that your time in Columbus and #ACSFall2025 has given you new insights and perspectives on science leadership—and that you've made lasting friendships along the way.

Seriously the #CASFutureLeaders class of 2025 (and alumni!!!) is such a wonderful group of people 🎉💖 whoever in #chemtwitter still around here, could I ask for a RT and like? ✨👍🏼🙌🏼 they sooooo deserve it 🩵🫰🏼 @CASChemistry @AmerChemSociety @cenmag #ACSFall2025 @ACSPublications
Only two more weeks! I'm so excited to fly to Columbus in August to meet the 2025 class of @CASChemistry Future Leaders 😁
Alex is focused on Ni-catalyzed cross-couplings of redoxactive esters, as well as the synthesis and functionalization of strained rings. Learn more about @GabbeyAlex and the 2025 #CASFutureLeaders before they arrive in Columbus this August. ow.ly/BsSX50WqxJO

🆕 Preprint out now on @ChemRxiv!
We report a modular flow cascade for the synthesis of γ- & N-substituted γ-lactams via photochemical radical alkylation and cyclization.
Fast, scalable & broad scope!

Join us next Friday, May 23rd for a free movie night! 🎥🎬 We will be watching Hidden Figures in DB East, in the Lash Miller Chemical Laboratories building. Pizza and popcorn will be provided to all who attend 🍿🍕 See you there! 🎉
AAAHH I still can't believe this is real! I'm thrilled to share that I've been selected for the 2025 #CASFutureLeaders program. The biggest thank you to my mentors and colleagues for their support! I can't wait to connect with fellow scientists in Columbus this August 🤩🧪🥼
Join us in congratulating the 2025 #CASFutureLeaders! We look forward to welcoming these exceptional Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scholars to Columbus, Ohio, and Washington, DC, this August. ow.ly/N55x50Vl3Pj

Nice to see this new iron work in @Orgmet_ACS, which demonstrates some cross-coupling reactivity principles that will help my lab to develop new iron-catalyzed reactions in the coming years

We've developed a robust photochemical alkylation method to transform secondary amides into α-substituted secondary amines. Broad functional group tolerance, scalability via #flowchemistry, and ideal for drug discovery!
