With @chari_jason and @RachelRKnapp, I got to help create the class that I always wished was offered when I was an undergrad. Read about our virtual course called ‘Catalysis in Modern Drug Discovery’ in our recent J. Chem. Ed. article: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…. 📽️ +🎙️+🧑‍🔬 =🔥

@denmoney Nice! 😎

Many thanks to Neil and the whole @GargLab family for a fantastic PhD experience. I also want to thank @uclachem for being a great home over the past five years. I’m excited to be starting a postdoctoral fellowship in the @BetleyGroup this summer. Can’t wait to join the crew!

Today we report in @Nature a base editing strategy that efficiently corrects the mutation in the β-globin gene HBB that causes sickle cell disease (SCD), the most common deadly genetic disorder, rescuing the disease in mice. drive.google.com/file/d/14nV5UQ… nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/11

Many many thanks to Prof. Sarpong, who joined us for an OCDS Coffee Break to tell us a little about his personal story, journey as a chemist, and deep musical appreciation for @rickastley! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s lecture at 4:00 PM! @uclachem @sarponggroup #OCDSseminar

That’s right! Come for Prof. Sarpong’s inspiring personal story and his group’s incredible science, but stay for the entertaining anecdotes about our very own Neil Garg as a graduate student! @GargLab @SarpongGroup

Had such a great time virtually hosting @TanjaCuk1 yesterday! Great conversations and even better science. #ucla #OCDSseminarseries

What a shot taken from Melbourne Australia 🔭🪐

It’s great to see this project in print. A long road but well worth it. Props to great team mates @Milaunii @BakerTripp and #TwitterlessJunyong

Never seen anyone else doing this - #Diego

Graduate students Tim Boit, Jason Chari, & Rachel Knapp receive the inaugural 2020 Education Innovation Award for creating and teaching a successful online summer course on drug discovery and catalysis! Congratulations! bit.ly/3kYh7Q9 @timboit @chari_jason @RachelRKnapp

Honored to have been part of a dream team with labmates @chari_jason and @RachelRKnapp that helped enrich UCLA's summer chemistry curriculum. Also, many thanks to all the incredible students and guest lecturers! @GargLab @uclachem #chemistryeducation chemistry.ucla.edu/news/2020-educ…

Shout out to #BlackinChem – a fantastic campaign aimed at supporting Black chemists and strengthening the academic pipeline for Black students navigating higher education. Support BlackinChem at UCLA by giving a gift at spark.ucla.edu/blackinchem. @ucla_ocds @uclachem

It was also awesome to get a chance for OCDS & co. to chat with Professor Gutierrez — great overall conversation about his career, various frontiers in organic chemistry, and ideas to improve chemistry education at the ugrad level! Thanks @gutierrez_lab ☕️ 🧪

Don’t miss the Nuno/Neil double-header for the DOC Virtual Symposium Series, tomorrow 10/21 at 9am PST! @MaulideLab @uclachem @ACSorganic organicdivision.org/doc-virtual-sy…

Thrilled to share our latest publication in @angew_chem on the reductive arylation of amides using nickel catalysis onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… Congrats to Tim, Milauni, Emma, and Junyong! @uclachem @uclanewsroom @timboit @Milaunii @BakerTripp #TwitterlessJunyong

Congratulations to our newly minted Second Years - Matt, Laura, and Ana - for absolutely crushing the 8th Annual Young Guns Symposium! We’re so proud of all you’ve accomplished this year and can’t wait to see what second year has in store for you!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💯💯💯

Putting #Mentorship First! Blavatnik National Awards Finalist, Neil Garg, discusses the importance, prioritization, and methods for successful mentorship. @GargLab @uclachem @uclanewsroom @uclaphyssci cen.acs.org/careers/employ…

Be sure to check out our latest publication in @OrgSynth on the synthesis of 2,5-diaryloxadiazinones here: orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep… Way to go Andrew and Katie - and special thanks to the Movassaghi group for checking the procedure! @ucla @uclachem
