Group Lowell

🎉🎊🙌New from @SchulzLabVT❗️ "Synthesis of Phosphonated Polymer Resins for the Extraction of Rare-Earth Elements" is now online in ACS Appl. Polym. Mater.! Congrats to grad students @_WRArcher and Nuren, along with undergrads Agustin and Sam! @VTChemDept pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We recently got pictures done of some of the great work our students are doing in lab, it’s so nice to have an updated picture of the Lowell lab!

We are celebrating Prof. Kingston’s fabulous career! Thanks for organizing ⁦@carlierlabVT⁩.

➡️ Prof. Andrew Lowell and his lab (@GroupLowell) are focused on the development of antibiotics, adjuvants and chemotherapeutics. Faculty profile: chem.vt.edu/people/faculty…

Another successful in person Highlands seminar. Amazing talk by Ben Shen @lab_shen. Great inspirations from nature and natural products! @VTChemDept @GroupLowell

Our next #CCHFAlumniHighlight is on Andrew Lowell (@GroupLowell)! Andrew completed his postdoctoral research with @davidhsumich at @UMLifeSciences. He is now a research faculty at @VTChemDept. Don't miss his talk today, titled, "Pioneering new routes for antibiotic development"!

We're very excited for virtual recruitment tomorrow! @VTChemDept

We are excited to officially welcome our two new faculty members this week! Diana Iovan, our newest assistant professor of inorganic chemistry, and Emily Mevers, our newest assistant professor of organic chemistry. Welcome to #VTChem!

Congratulations to Jacob Chappell on passing his prelim this morning! Welcome to candidacy and keep up the good work!

In response to the global #COVID19 infection spread, #VirginiaTech spring break has been extended and class instruction will move online. Read the full message from @VTSandsman: fal.cn/372rh

My lab has a #postdoc opening in the synthesis of exciting polynitrogen compounds! Skills in method development and/or multistep organic #synthesis are essential. Preferred start date in May-June 2020. If interested, send your CV and cover letter to lk18@rice.edu. Please RT!

🚨🚨 The first research article from our lab is now published in @PolymChem ! Congrats to our graduate student, Tiffany, and her undergraduate, Alex! Go read about the synthesis of poly(bicyclohexyldimethylene terephthalate)!🚨🚨 @VTChemDept @VT_Science pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Meant to give this sparkling apple juice to my daughter for her birthday yesterday. Don't forget about your basic chemical principles (or about bottles in the freezer!). #facepalm #badchemist

What’s your science? #ShareYourScience

Everyone hard at work in the @GroupLowell lab in the @VTChemDept! Way to go everyone with your #ppe!

Chemistry nightmare last night. We were driving around looking for synthons and got stuck in a flowerbed. Finally found one filled with helium that kept floating away as we tried to wrestle it into the car. Anyway, the grant is submitted. How's your week been? #chemistryproblems

My purse or my glovebox? So in an emergency my purse can double as #PPE for a pyrophoric? Good to know! (Is a glovebox technically PPE? #chemistryproblems) Must I wear goggles to consume? I have none in my purse 😕Somehow, I am disappointed that there's no SOP on the package too.

Got our first R01 submission out today! A big thanks to my group for help and patience, @Biochem_Anne Brown at @VTLibraries and @vtbiochem for being an awesome collaborator, and Tom Bell in @VTChemDept for tolerating my mistakes and guiding me through. Here's to making triage!🍻
