Ben List

@ListLaboratory @JoyceAAGrimm @mpicec_press @maxplanckpress Super proud of Joyce!

Warmest congratulations @JoyceAAGrimm on receiving the 2023 #ErnstHaagePreis für Doktoranden und Postdoktoranden! Kudos to you! @mpicec_press @maxplanckpress 📸 Thomas Hobirk, MPI CEC

@arndzeigler Ein ebenso schönes wie unverdientes Privileg, über Dinge sprechen zu dürfen, von denen ich nichts verstehe. Danke, Arnd Zeigler #arndzeigler für das geduldige Zuhören, auch meiner VAR Idee #selectcrowdreview und Danke an Arno #heiarno und #bohndesliga für das Zusammenbringen.

In der neuesten Folge von "Ball You Need Is Love" rede ich mit Benjamin List, der 2021 den Nobelpreis für Chemie gewann. Wahrscheinlich ist es keine Kunst, meinen Horizont zu erweitern, aber Benjamin List hat es geschafft. Zur Folge ⤵️

@thiemechemistry @maiti_iitb @iitbombay Thanks for taking over the Synlett torch, Deb! All my best for you and our favorite journal.

It is our great pleasure to announce that Professor Debabrata Maiti (@maiti_iitb from @iitbombay) will take over the position of SYNLETT Editor-in-Chief from Professor Benjamin List (Max-Planck-Institute, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany) in January 2024. 👏👉brnw.ch/21wDLKZ

Beauty and Intelligence at the 20th anniversary of Janni‘s legendary Natur and Culture Symposium. @mleptin

@Silicon_Martin @AvHStiftung @TUBerlin Nice.

Also you, JACS? ⁦@acsJACS⁩

@fasc1nate Without catalysis there wouldn’t be much fuel, materials, medicines, food, machines, computers, vitamins, perfumes, cars, cell phones available for all the other great inventions mentioned here.

What's the most important invention in human history?

@DirkTrauner @ETH_DCHAB Really sad. I remember speaking to him about my PhD work back in 1996. He asked “but why would one do this?“. Couldn’t quite give him an answer…

Sadly, Albert Eschenmoser has passed. He continues to be a huge inspiration. I will always remember a 3 h postdoc interview I had with him, in which I learned more about conformational analysis than in all the years before. @ETH_DCHAB chab.ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

@vanGemmerenLab @ListLaboratory Well, some even slow down only just after getting tenure, Manuel ;-) anyway, thanks for your confidence. Let’s see by the end of the year, we may indeed have a few surprises…

@BQZ2023 @Echavarren_Lab The honor was on my side. Muchas Gracias !

Todo listo para disfrutar de Prof. Ben List. Un honor disfrutar de su química en Zaragoza.

@Frau_Gombert @mitstreuseln Deshalb ja „Medienmonsterchen“ 😊

@mitstreuseln Pressesprecherchen... klingt immer noch maskulin, oder? 🤔

Die absolut beste Lösung zum Thema Gendern. Wie würde eure neue Berufsbezeichnung lauten?

What an amazing Ziegler lecturer visiting us today. Thanks Dean!

@JacobsenLab Proline is the sweetest. I wonder how D-proline would taste 😊

After much debate, the results of the official Jacobsen Lab amino acid taste test are in:

Dirty lightning, also known as volcanic lightning, occurs when volcanic ash particles collide, generating static charges that discharge as lightning within the volcanic plume.

@ListLaboratory Mystery.

We never used light before, we wonder why?!

@MaulideLab @univienna @CeMM_News @oeaw So?

Have you ever thought about what could be an “ideal synthesis”? Stay tuned and tomorrow there could be a small step in this direction… @univienna @CeMM_News @oeaw

 Slightly sunburned and stunned by the beautiful and super smart people I have met at #LINO22 <3

@JakeYeston Yes. And the only „chemical” devoid of electrons.

Every so often I get fixated again on how weird it is that the subatomic particle and the reactive piece of the Brønsted acid are the same thing

Sad about Richard Lerner‘s passing. One of the most creative and enthusiastic scientists I’ve met. Rest In peace.
