Jeff Kerkovius 🇨🇦

This is for everyone who uses a paper notebook out there. I would love to hear from you! Do you want to digitize your notebooks so that you can do structures searches instead of having to flip through each page? Please send me a message or head to our website!

@stanna_dorn @ktluedecke Hahaha, this wasn't me.... because I gave away the rest of my rubber ducks yesterday... which is very suspicious timing...

@WorkentinChem I graduate at the end of may

Thanks for the shoutout!

@AriHunter_ @BagPhos @bgirlgadget I'm chairing the GRS in 2024, hopefully I can see you at that one too!

@stanna_dorn @Caltech Your too kind Stanna!

Today on Synthesis Workshop, Jeff @Kerkovius takes us through his work on a pyridine dearomatization approach to the synthesis of lupin alkaloids with @Sarah_Reisman @Caltech! Full episode: youtu.be/fWvfpqnW_5U Key paper: @J_A_C_S 2022, 144, 15938. doi.org/10.1021/jacs.2…

Confirmed it was my great grand uncle from my family history book

A postdoc in our lab pulled a random book off the shelf in our library and flipped to a random page where I then found out I had an old relative who was a chemist. What are the chances!?!

An excellent and much needed piece written by @Scatter_Cushion, where I open up a little bit about my mental health journey while navigating academia.

@AriHunter_ @RacicotLeanne @jillianldempsey @MurphyLabUW I did feel like my undergrad at @ubcokanagan really taught me well and prepared me for graduate school!

Opinion: To support science research in Canada, we must pay grad students and postdocs better /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

We have fun here

@HaileyJKnox @sarah_reisman Congrats on your paper as well! Super cool!

@kerkovius @sarah_reisman Congrats Jeff!!

I'm soooo excited that it's finally live! A Pyridine Dearomatization Approach to the Matrine-Type Lupin Alkaloids! Thank you so much to everyone who made this project possible!! @sarah_reisman pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

@brooke_versaw @sarah_reisman Thanks Brooke!

@CanevasBleu I understand your pain

In Seoul! Any must eats while I'm here?

@CanevasBleu Thanks Blue!!

@andrei_yudin @RousseauxGroup Congrats Sophie! Well deserved!

Sincere congrats to my colleague @RousseauxGroup who has been promoted to Associate Professor! I have learned a lot of cool science from Sophie and it is just fabulous to have her on our faculty. She is a superb mentor and a great teacher who thinks deeply.
