Less than 36 hours remain to take advantage of the "Early Bird" registration fee! After 11:30PM EDT tomorrow, the regular registration fee will apply. With 325+ registered participants already, this will be the largest (and best!) ISNA in North America.
REMINDER – Early Bird Registration for ISNA-20 ends June 14. Normal rates will apply June 15 onwards. Please do not delay & register today: isna2024.com/registration
We have 64 talks & 250 posters, so there will be lots of AWESOME aromatic/antiaromatic science to discover!

Last week, scientists from across 🇨🇦 came to parliament to meet with MPs and Senators for the Science Meets Parliament program.
I was glad to give a statement in the @SenateCA on behalf of my fellow co-champions, @JudithSeidman & @StanKutcher.

Over two days scientists and parliamentarians came together for dialogue and mutual learning. Good science is essential for effective policy making. #ScienceMeetsParliament

What a lovely event!! Always happy when I get to share my science 🎉🧪😁
Big congrats to @dcadwallader94 on an honourable mention for best flash talk and our upstairs neighbour @kclenart_ for winning a top 3 flash talk prize 🥳
Thanks to @WIC_Toronto and @wic_yorku for throwing such a wonderful symposium! (And @aacolussi for taking great pics 📸)

Lewis acidity and reactivity of group 13 complexes are really not what they seem. We explore the complex relationship of Lewis acidity, reactivity, and solution state of cationic alkylgallium and indium complexes. @ACSCatalysis @UBCChem @mehrkhodavandi

This challenging project was a team effort years in the making with incredible contributions from Nico, Fiona, Avik, Charley, Jesse, and Howard. 7/
I am so grateful for the team of incredible scientists I work with at York and at BIC. There is a lot of exciting science in the pipeline which I can’t wait to share in 2024. @YorkUChem 8/8
And finally, switching away from the main group, we shared our insights into the mechanism of why the fruit extract genipin changes into a brilliant dye upon reaction of amines in Dyes and Pigments - sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. 6/
Thrilled we were able to share our alkynyl phosphine chemistry in @FLPchemist 70th birthday special issue of ZAAC. Great work by @chem_lucasct Lucas, Amandeep, Clive, and @JesseLeBlanc Jesse. 🎉onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… 4/
Taylor's @TaylorCosbyy exploration of bis(pentafluorophenyl)borinic acid as a bench stable Lewis acid for hydrosilylation catalysis was reported in RSC Sustainability and represents an exciting area that we continue to grow. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti… 5/
This year has been a mix of personal and professional adventures. Welcoming a new baby meant less social media, but as the year ends, I want to highlight some amazing work by my team at @YorkUScience. I am continually inspired by the work they do🧵1/
Further, the FLA method found applications outside of our group, helping to understanding cationic Gallium and Indium catalysts for polymerization, in collaboration with the @mehrkhodavandi group, reported in ACS Catalysis. Kudos to Charley and Josh! 🧪pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021… 3/
Our work on measuring Lewis acidity continued with Amy, Josh, and Paul's study on the solvent impacts of the Fluorescent Lewis Adduct method, published in Precision Chemistry. 📄 @tbaumlab pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102… 2/
