The @organicdivision.org has a really packed schedule with tons of amazing symposia for #ACSSpring2025 in San Diego
To help you find it all and plan your schedule here is our hand grid schedule #ChemSky

Thanks to the DOE for recognizing my work from SLACLab from earlier last year! (In part for giving me a reason to break my bluesky silence) #chemsky

Synthesis games for chemists to puzzle over From problem set to puzzle game

For the latest #Newscripts in C&EN, @laureloldach.bsky.social has the scoop on Synthordle from Ryan Shenvi's lab, plus some other chemistry games. cen.acs.org/education/Sy... #chemsky 🧪 #scinews

Asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-lingzhiol via a Rh-catalysed [3+2] cycloaddition - Nature Communications Bicyclic rings with quaternary bridgehead positions are difficult targets, yet are frequently observed in nature. Here, the authors report a cycloaddition reaction giving access to these structures in...

Have you come across Yang's synthesis of lingzhiol? Looks like they had a similarly rough time with a late stage benzylic oxidation and settled on a radical halogenation/subst./ox. sequence.

The new signs bringing greater understanding to organic chemistry Rebecca Trager speaks to a US team developing a sign language lexicon for chemistry concepts that combines form with meaning to make the field more accessible for everyone

A great story about increasing chemistry accessibility.

Love the science art! Do you have a site where you post your other works?

a puppy is standing on the floor with the words pick me written on it . ALT: a puppy is standing on the floor with the words pick me written on it .

I would love to be included as well.

Can't unhear it now.

What a beautiful venue! Looks like the fish get to enjoy some sparkly Christmas decorations.
