It's been an amazing collaboration so far between @Jingjun_H & @LeitchLab at @uvic, @Tommy82752392 & @FrichardChem at @QMUL, and Alex Jean at @Servier. Stay tuned for more

Our work on the mechanism of action of antibacterial nanofibers is out now in @J_A_C_S. A bittersweet moment for us in the Manners group as we dedicate this paper to the big man himself - this was one of the last papers he submitted before he passed. You'll be missed, Ian!
Check out our recent work by Hayley on the mechanism of action of antibacterial PFTMC-b-PDMAEMA nanoparticles made using living CDSA, just published in @J_A_C_S!

Super happy to announce out latest ring expansion paper - out today in @J_A_C_S
This is the culmination of 5 years hard work by lots of very talented and dedicated people in our @ChemistryatYork group - I am extremely grateful to them all.

Grateful for the recognition by @CIC_ChemInst. This honor belongs to my incredible students.
The Keith Ladler Award recognizes outstanding early-career contributions to physical chemistry for research carried out in Canada, by a scientist residing in Canada. Congrats Dr. Makhsud Saidaminov @msaidaminov of @uvic on being the recipient of this award buff.ly/3SlNzPo

Meet Dr. Nelson Lam, UVic's new Assistant Professor as of Summer 2024! His mission:
Establish a leading research group developing translatable catalytic methods targeting outstanding selectivity challenges that characterize contemporary organic synthesis.

Ideal for HTE applications, you can now fine tune your reactions in a heartbeat. DAB-Pd-MAH is already commercially available @MilliporeSigma (sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/produ…), the chiral variants should be soon🙏
Dave Leitch and the Leitch Lab retweeted
Our Pd-MAH pre-catalyst has now gone chiral !!!
Jingjun (@Jingjun_H), Tommy (@Tommy82752392) and Francois (@FrichardChem) did an amazing job 👊 Check it out, it just appeared online in @NatureComms. Special thanks go to our industrial partner @Servier

The method allowed us to complete the total synthesis of three excavacoumarin natural products and was later used by @BaranLabReads in their synthesis of cyclopamine

Everything stared from this absolutely beautiful paper by David and his group (@LeitchLab) in @ACSCatalysis and a phone call 😊

Last year we reported a really cool Pd-AAA reaction (I'm obviously biased😇) for the synthesis of diversely substituted chiral furanones. That marked the beginning of an amazing collaboration with David and his group @LeitchLab

The # of graduate scholarships decreased in 2010, and has remained steady since while graduate student enrolment in Canada has doubled! 😱
👉 Increasing the value of scholarships is not enough - we need more scholarships as well!

Few know this, but the real reason that Italian Ice is called "Water-Ice" in the greater Philadelphia region is because the map of that area represents an upside down phase diagram for water.
