“We didn’t have to play by the same old rules…” ❤️😭
Impactful words by @CarolynBertozzi today on how diversity in her trainees enabled creativity, not playing by the rules, and ultimately the work that built the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. Diverse science leads to better science!

I’ve been waiting until it was official to announce this news, but I’m super excited to share that I’ll be joining the Keck Science Department as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry in the Fall!! I’m looking forward to starting this new chapter of my career.

Working with an incredibly dedicated and talented group of students, postdocs, and collaborators has been the honor of my professional life. I'm grateful that their hard work and insights have been recognized by my election to the National Academy of Sciences.🙏 @theNASciences
Congratulations to @davidrliu, one 120 new members elected into @theNASEM! Liu is recognized, in part, for inventing base editing, a tool that can edit the genomes of living cells with unprecedented precision. Browse the new members: bit.ly/3tUtXEu
