Excited to highlight this research article from @BridwellRabbLab members @MadisonKnapp19, @courtney7887, and colleagues!

I've started posting some literature-based organic chemistry problems at lutzpolymerlab.weebly.com/resources. I assembled them during Covid-lockdown boredom and since I haven't figured out anything better to do with them, I thought I'd put them online in case others might find them useful.

@BiochemistryACS Check out the latest issue with the cover designed by my mentor and our research in the @BridwellRabbLab ! #TeamRieske

🎉 New issue! Read up on the Rieske oxygenase TsaM, imaging cellular proteins, Clostridium Succinyl-CoA Reductase, and more! Read here ➡ go.acs.org/59n

Check out the Buss Group’s first publication in @J_A_C_S! Carefully designed copper clusters inform the critical role of surface hydrides in CO2RR. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… #BussGroup #chemistry #MichiganChem

@MattDHannigan @BeckmanFnd @Weck_Group Congrats Matt!!! Great news!

Every piece of new data collected was so exciting, rationally engineering a #rieske #oxygenase to switch substrate specificity and perform chemistry on non-native substrates. @cooltt888 @BridwellRabbLab @MichiganChem #biochemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Excited to share our latest #rieske #research that uses structure-function relationships to change the reaction outcome of a Rieske oxygenase! Great teamwork by @BridwellRabbLab members @cooltt888 @AlejandroChem and twitterless Patrick! @BiochemistryACS doi.org/10.1021/acs.bi…

Congratulations to our favorite second year @AlejandroChem for passing candidacy!🎉🎉🍾

So honored to be named a 2023 #SloanFellow! Very grateful I get to do research with the incredible members of the @BridwellRabbLab! Congratulations to all of the awardees!

Inspiring work to provide clean and safe drinking water within communities rather than shipping pallets of plastic water bottles. seas.umich.edu/news/seas-grad…

The process of the ‘Aloe Vera’- created using molecules/minerals found in aloe vera 🪴 This was definitely one of my favourite pieces to draw because it required the use of lots of colours 🎨 #aloevera #scienceart #etsyart #biology #chemistry #pointillism #artvideo #plantart

Ferryl Girl Fall ⬇️🤣 by @NarayanLab undergrad Nick Cemalovic ....I can't stop laughing

It's with great pleasure to share the work from the @BridwellRabbLab I co-authored on with Dr. Brimberry published in #CurrentOpinion in #ChemicalBiology focused on engineering regions inside and outside the active site of Rieske oxygenases for catalysis: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S13…

@narf42 Depending on pronunciation during lectures, I could see the student easily misunderstanding for mesyl

The joys of grading exams... The real question is: does creativity deserve a point or not?

even if the rest of the day is complete shit… as my instructor xochitl says “the fact that u took time out of ur day to care for yourself matters”….. so true, xochitl

A key finding is both the polymer AND the pesky plasticizer additive are repurposed in this process. This aspect is really important for dealing with PVC waste b/c PVC and phthalates have been formulated together for decades. (truly a toxic power couple)

It’s finally time to share the fruit of my post-doc research on plastics upcycling: a method for repurposing PVC waste in chlorination reactions. Check it out! Thanks to @AnneJMcNeil, Han, Sofia, and Jose, and @McNeilGroup! nature.com/articles/s4155…

As scientists, we often forget just how cool our work is. I showed my parents what I do in lab for the first time today & my mom was amazed just looking at DNA on a agarose gel & human cells under the microscope. Take a moment to be proud of yourself & your science!

Don't put it off — the application for student loan forgiveness is remarkably simple. studentaid.gov/debt-relief/ap… This is basically it:

I strongly agree with this direction of having a diverse (electronics, different groups) rather than an expansive scope. Furthermore, including negative examples of low yields would establish limitations and save resources of others wanting to apply the method
