I cooked up this periodic table project during summer 2020 while taking a class about online teaching strategies since we were preparing to deliver some of our classes virtually. I had aspirations of running a contest with a bracket of all the student submissions 1/n
Dropping in from my self-imposed exile to share some sad news. Prof Jim Dittami, our longtime organic chemistry colleague passed away yesterday. He was a highly regarded teacher & researcher. The rest of my thoughts can be found in the IG post #chemtwitter instagram.com/p/C_TpIEjSRpr/
It was a busy week here. REU students gave presentations on their summer work Mon/Tue, Erin's thesis defense Wed & the Summer Research Showcase posters yesterday. See the gallery on instagram

Erin Hickey successfully defended her thesis on Wednesday becoming the 5th Burdette group student to earn their PhD. Congratulations to Erin on a job well done.

At some point this afternoon, @WPI's blue verified check disappeared (without comment). Marketing had requested a meeting to discuss my (& others) objections. I insisted they justify participating in the subscription service given the current policies & management at twitter.
Hey @WPI, are we wasting $$$ sending Twitter money for a blue check? Seems like most universities have refused to go along with the pay-to-play plan.

Like Worcester, Indianapolis has a Major Taylor mural. Major was born in Indy & moved to Worcester at 17 to be close to the bicycle manufacturers & start his racing career #ACSSpring2023

It took a while, but the contracts are all sorted, so here's the official posting for the joint MOF postdoc in the Burdette/Grimm groups #chempostdoc wpi.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en…
This is the project from Prof Grimm & I. Still searching for a postdoc FYI futureflight.aero/news-artic…
A chemistry-themed Doodle with @NobelPrize winner Mario Molina, sadly no longer with us to celebrate
Good news: the ozone layer is on track to fully recover ❤️🩹
Mario Molina was one of the 1st scientists to discover synthetic chemicals were destroying the ozone. Learn about this Mexican researcher who helped literally save the world → goo.gle/404WRl1 #GoogleDoodle
ALT Illustration of Mario Molina next to an image of Earth giving off chemical emissions into space. Mario has grey hair and is looking inquisitively towards the Earth with his hand touching his chin. An aerosol spray bottle and refrigerator are highlighted in circles with upward arrows indicating breaks in the ozone layer. The "GOOGLE" logo is floating in space with a sun standing in for the middle "O".

Also featured on our cover is the work of @WPIBurdette and colleagues on the use of isothermal titration calorimetry for characterizing the zinc(II)-binding properties of photocaged complexes with micromolar affinity.
