Do I know any chemistry people on here from Spain (preferably near Madrid)? I have a rising senior here at AU (Spanish citizen) going back home to Madrid this summer and is looking for any lab work opportunities. Thanks! ChemChat ChemSky

So thrilled this first of two studies (pssst the 2nd one is on the way) is out in the public domain now. Congrats to the team!!! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Noncanonical β-Amino Esters and Amides via Direct Asymmetric Reductive Amination of α,α-Disubstituted β-Ketoesters and Amides

A direct asymmetric reductive amination (DARA) of α,α-disubstituted β-amino esters and amides has been developed to access a key β-amino amide intermediate for the commercial synthesis of a COVID prot...

It’s true that some scientific results can’t be replicated. And it’s also true that some people do the right thing when that happens:

Goodbye Jane #Goodall. You were trully amazing.

Even when she saw terrible, horrible things, she kept hoping and working and fighting for a better future. May we all carry some of her spirit into the work ahead.

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS
