Let there be light-activated arynes! Check out my write-up for @cenmag.bsky.social of @cortnieroberts.bsky.social and her team's illuminating new work in Nature: cen.acs.org/synthesis/re...

Let there be light-activated arynes

Making these strained intermediates just got easier, thanks to new precursors that react in the presence of blue light

Dipole Characteristics of Polymers with Main-Chain Polar Rings: Impact of Dipole Strength and Orientation on Reactivity and Material Properties

Dipole-dipole interactions arising from polar side chains can greatly enhance the performance of polymers compared to their nonpolar analogues. Incorporating polar functionality into the main chain wo...

⚠️🚨PUBLICATION ALERT 🚨⚠️ Check our latest paper in JOC! We dive deep into structure-property relationships to study the kinetics and thermodynamics of N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Carbodiimide (NHC-CDI) adducts. 🤯 Congrats July and Briana on this awesome work!! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Super excited about this recognition of all the hard work from every member of @thelamblab.bsky.social Thanks to @umnchemistry.bsky.social for all of the support!

Assistant Professor Jessica Lamb (@ewerpointe.bsky.social) recently earned a new title – McKnight Land-Grant Professor! The award recognizes outstanding contributions by assistant professors at UMN. Congratulations, Jessica! #UMNProud Read Jessica's story here: cse.umn.edu/chem/news/as...

If you are going to be at #ACSSpring2025 come check out research happening at the cutting edge of organic and polymer chemistry! We have a great line up of speakers! 📅: Sunday 3/23 🕗: 8 am-noon, 2-6 pm PDT 🏢: SDCC, Section 8 Posters: 3/23, 1-3 pm PDT, Pacific Ballroom Foyer (Marriott Marquis)

So proud of these students for passing their candidacy exams!

The Lamb Lab@thelamblab.bsky.social · last yr.

Another year another successful round of preliminary exams! Congrats to our second years Luc, Rolando, and Steph for becoming the group’s newest PhD Candidates 🥳🎉👏

Reminder that it’s the same program officers, same reviewers, same values, norms, and priorities. We still are our community no matter what they tell us who to exclude. We can still prioritize diversity, inclusion, equity, and access.

The Trump admin has cancelled the panels that approve NIH grants, & is also banning scientists from communicating with the public, attending conferences, and hiring. NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world. This will severely halt the development of many lifesaving treatments.

Thanks, Christy! It was super cool to see that Michelle was one of the other awardees!

Couldn't be prouder to see University of Minnesota with HALF of the 2025 Marion Milligan Mason Awardees - congratulations to Profs. Jessica Lamb (@ewerpointe.bsky.social) and Michelle Calabrese on this well-deserved recognition! #UMNProud

It's an honor to announce that I am 1 of 4 recipients of the AAAS Marion Milligan Mason Award 2025 along with my colleague Michelle Calabrese (CEMS #UMNProud), Erin Stache (Princeton), and @gracegdhan.bsky.social #ChemSky Learn more here: www.aaas.org/news/four-ch...

I’ve started to assemble a starter pack of polymer scientists! It’s by no mean complete so please let me know who’s here that I’m missing… #ChemSky #AcademicSky 🧪 go.bsky.app/PAiUPxg

Happy to share the latest work from my group on controlling NHC organocatalysis, now published in Angew! I’m really proud of the team for being resilient to get this over the finish line! t.co/g2OEZjVnj4

I don't see enough Black voices on this platform -- maybe I haven't found them yet? Let's try something together, if y'all feel like it: - If you're a Black scientist on Bluesky, feel free to respond here and I'll follow you - If you're not, please share the responses (and/or this post) to amplify

ChemSky feed now picks up ChemSky, ChemTwitter, RealTimeChem, and ⚗️🧪 bsky.app/profile/did:...

We’re here! #RealTimeChem has arrived on Bluesky. Share some #chemistry using #RealTimeChem and connect with other chemists. 😃👩🏼‍🔬🧑🏿‍🔬👨🏻‍🔬🧑🏽‍🔬🥼🧪⚗️

It's almost as if our broad network of policies disincentivizing immigrant scientists from attending schools here, staying on for jobs, and earning long-term status is a short-sighted mistake derived from a long history of xenophobia and jingoistic nationalism rather than rational national policy...
