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!

Congratulations to Amy, Mary, and Matt, who all passed their preliminary exams! Now that they're all done with those hoops, here's hoping they get lots of good research done.
Despite the small size of the incoming class, we managed to snag three more graduate students to join our lab! Welcome to En-Chih Liu, Angela Carlson, and Ryan Daley! En-Chih graduated from National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan with his Masters, where he worked on developing methodology for the synthesis of corannulene. Angela Carlson graduated from Augsburg College, and then worked at Isurtec and Medivators. Ryan Daley graduated from St. Olaf, where he worked on palladium-catalyzed arylation of nitroarenes using aryl sulfonates.
Welcome to Cristian Calcanas, a new undergraduate researcher in our lab! He's going to be working on helping Matt with his substrate syntheses.
