Our lab just keeps churning out the papers! Already, paper number three is in the European Journal of Organic Chemistry. Way to go, Mary, James, and Vicky!
Every semester, the Joint Safety Team (JST) gives out an award for the safest lab. This semester, that lab was ours! Way to go guys for keeping our lab a clean and safe space to do research!
Congratulations to Matt Porter, who won a poster award at the National Organic Symposium! See the story (https://chem.umn.edu/news/matthew-porter-earns-best-poster-award).
Prof. Topczewski and our second year grad students went to the National Organic Symposium in Davis, CA to share our research with the Organic Chemistry community! The conference was written up in C & EN (http://cen.acs.org/articles/95/i30/Chemists-champion-future-2017-National.html?type=paidArticleContent) and the Top lab learned a lot about what's happening now in our field. We even had time for some fun things, like wine and olive oil tasting!
Congratulations to Vicky, who got a job straight out of undergrad at Phillips 66! Way to go Vicky, we all knew you could do it! Now go show Oklahoma what Topczewski lab students can do.
Welcome to Alex Gomez from Lawrence College! He's helping Amy to elaborate her diol into other classes of molcules which could perhaps have some bioactivity
Congratulations to Amy and Charlie, who just got their paper accepted in JACS (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jacs.7b04203)! Hopefully this is a sign of great things to come!
