Brilliant talk from Steven Townsend tracing his heritage back to plantation slavery, then showing how his chemistry understands the benefits of breast milk sugars, with the motivation that infant formula is mainly advertised at underprivileged communities in the USA. #ACSSanDiego

Elegant paper by the Maresso lab. If you need a reference showing how important heme degradation is to microbial pathogenesis ...feast your eyes on figure 7.

apropos of my life, I received the hardcopy letter of notification from our Provost that I've been recommended for tenure... and immediately ruined it by resting my sweaty arm on it after a run. But hey, tenure! (assuming the Board of Regents are cool with it)

Koji Nakanishi @ChemColumbia made being a chemist magic with his love of #naturalproducts and #spectroscopy, his sly sense of humor, his kindness, and his sleight of hand. As a Beckman Lecturer @CaltechChem, he spent all of his honorarrium taking the students and postdocs out.

Eminent natural products chemist Koji Nakanishi, emeritus professor at @ChemColumbia, has passed away at age 93. ow.ly/tRIs30ofGWZ
