Happy to share that my NSF LEAPS proposal, titled "A Sustainable Chemistry Approach in Pursuit of Novel Methodologies, Organocatalysts, and Antimicrobials" has been recently approved for funding. I am excited to do some interesting science with great students!

@AriWagen @RowanSci Is that 5 bonds to carbon??

@usedgov @POTUS What a joke.

In just the first month of the Trump-Vance administration, @POTUS is delivering for America’s students, families, teachers, and schools.

@ndchiappini I've always been a huge fan of Master Organic Chemistry's approach of using a cat. I feel like it helps make the mental gymnastics a little easier: masterorganicchemistry.com/2010/11/22/on-…

@SigmaAldrich @drbeetpig #sigmaa

It’s World Chocolate Day, and we’re excited to announce that we’re giving away our famous Sigma-Aldrich chocolate bottles!

As the semester comes to a close I just want to give a major shoutout to all of the students who periodically nod while their professor is lecturing. Those students don’t realize how important their periodic head nods are.

@RacicotLeanne @SigmaAldrich I feel the "no column after noon on Friday" is more legitimate advice than superstition!

Does your lab have any superstitious they do to make sure experiments work?

@EPAresearch Is that 6 bonds to carbon I spy?? 👀

@AmyKeirstead @ndchiappini I prefer this too when I teach! "Epposite" and "Zame" will always get students to remember!

@ndchiappini I always said (in a Ren and Stimpy voice) “eeposite”

Three professors at Tech have been awarded prestigious grants from the American Chemical Society (ACS) Petroleum Research Fund to further their research projects and give their students more opportunities for hands-on experience in the field. Read more: tntech.edu/news/releases/…

@ndchiappini Just seasoning the stir bars

UNC Asheville chemistry professor receives Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award. 🏆 unca.edu/events-and-new…

Happy to share that I've received a grant through the Rural Reimagined program at Tennessee Tech to start work on developing sustainable compounds, and methods, for the degradation of ester-based #microplastics found along the Tennessee River!

soliciting everyone’s best nmr memes, photos, stories, etc for an nmr/spectral interpretation lecture I’m giving on friday!!

@SigmaAldrich 2-Bromo-4,5-dimethyl aniline. Without the bromine? Totally fine. With the bromine? An absolutely vile smell.

What’s the worst smell in the lab? We’ll go first: 1. Thiol-based products.

@VictorKiryak Makes a good short answer question for "why is the listed alkene likely not the major prodict", though!

@katyhosbeinCER @tennesseetech Thanks for coming and giving such an amazing talk!!

Last Friday I was invited to my first departmental seminar as an Assistant Professor! @tennesseetech was a beautiful campus. Their new chemistry building is AMAZING. Thanks for the invite @KyleMurphyPhD! #chemtwitter

@ndchiappini @guanqichem This is my problem too, I became aware of the "new" trends teaching orgo 1 for the first time, but struggle to condense in a way that's doesn't just make it confusing, and not just default to polar protic trends like I was taught

@drbeetpig @acsprf Hopefully they will! 🧪 Thank you!

Eager to share that my ACS PRF UNI proposal (@acsprf) was approved for funding (pending approval by the ACS Board of Directors)! It's my first external grant as a PI, which feels great! Excited to share the work that the Murphy Lab does on synthesizing porphyrin-like macrocycles!
