Congrats to Ryan for the extraordinary effort on our decarboxylation project. We got it funded! Stay in tune for the next paper too!

Congratulations to Ryan Daley on his 3^rd pub from the lab and the labs 19^th independent publication. This mini review covers recent progress in the area of Pd catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling. The good news is that pubs 20-22 are not too far off so stay tuned for more to come.

Congrats to Ryan and En-Chih! Our recent paper on decarboxylative cross-coupling (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.orglett.9b01620) is highlighted in OPR&D (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.oprd.9b00327).

Thank you to the lab who made a return trip to Market Science at the MN State Fair. We had ~275 participants and made >180 batches of slime!

Once again, on STEM day at the state fair, we taught everyone how cool chemistry is! From learning about ocean acidification to making a hidden message (or some slime!) everyone had a good time. Thanks to Market Science (https://marketsci.org/) for helping us spread our love of chemistry!

Congrats Ryan on your first first-author paper! Check out Palladium-Catalyzed Salt-Free Double Decarboxylative Aryl Allylation

On Saturday, the Topczewski lab once again showed the Midtown Market that chemistry is fun and interesting! Despite the wind, almost 100 people came to learn about ocean acidification, precipitation reactions, catalysis, and how to make slime!
