3+ years of undergraduate research by Alyssa Clay and Rachel Cooke is out today in Angewandte! Their efforts were beyond impressive, and although I miss them greatly, I now get to watch them move on to even bigger successes!!!

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

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

No catalyst? No problem. A new study finds chemical reactions involved in early metabolism on Earth may not have required enzymes to work. With critical contributions from early career astrobiologists, the paper was published in the journal @nature. More: go.nasa.gov/2UxFZUb

A new study published today in @NatureChemistry shows that nearly all the ingredients for a potential forerunner to cellular metabolism could have formed easily from just two simple compounds reacting in water. quantamagazine.org/new-clues…
Our work on a potential prebiotic analog of the the TCA Cycle is out in Nature Chemistry today. Congratulations to Trent and Mahipal! nature.com/articles/s41557-0…

Don't miss the second CCE featured #earlyEarth commentary by Director Hud as a part of the @NatureComms series. The premise of a pre-RNA world opens a whole new universe in #OoL chemistry. @nsf_mps #nsffunded @ibbgatech @GT_Sciences @GT_CHEM disq.us/t/39fb1ci – at Atlanta, GA

Falcon 9 lands on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship and returns to port after delivering the Merah Putih satellite to geosynchronous transfer orbit. This mission marked the first re-flight of a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket booster. instagram.com/p/Bmg3v4jlnCN/
Thank you Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation @dreyfusfndn for the 2018 Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award! (dreyfus.org/forum/2018-henry…) My undergraduate researchers and I will put the funding to good use studying the metabolic origins of life! @4ChemEvolution

This week on Nature League, @BritGarner introduces a new segment called De-Natured, where she breaks down a recent scientific journal article. The topic? Metabolism of early life!
