Great piece by Beth Dr Bethany Halford as well. It’s refreshing to see a story driven by quotes from trainees …. We all know they did all the work! Taming the vinyl carbocation cen.acs.org/synthesis/Chem… via C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News)

What a fun collaboration from so many angles. Congrats to Chloe, Sepand, Ben, Jonathan, Brittany, Stasik, and Jacob! -hmn

Nice work Ambarneil, Jose, and team. It’s nice to see this. This will be a great starting point for people in my community that want to learn more about the field. Yes, those tables are gonna need a big update soon. -hmn

Super fun to help out our friends up north with some MicroED and exciting to get our group’s first synthetic polymer structure. Congrats to the Chris’s, Yi and team!-hmn rdcu.be/cBYpI

It was a pleasure to work with you. Glad that we (all Chris of course) could contribute. Cool stuff!-hmn

Nadia Leonard from UCI kicked us off with an awesome talk. Steven Townsend Townsend Lab from Vanderbilt is on now. Come by and check out some awesome chemistry or log on!-hm

Congrats to @HighResJess and her new venture MicroEDLab, and to Amgen 🧪🔬🧬 for a behind the scene look at microED on real samples.🙌

Let’s get it!!! Super excited to announce “Black Chemists Towards A Brighter Future”! A full day technical symposium highlighting black chemists from all career stages! #RMRM2021 register at rmrm2021.com

Congrats Lee Joon (LJ) Kim, Masao, and team!-hmn

If anyone out there is excited by the prospects outlined in this review, consider joining our lab as a postdoc. We have funding for several individuals with expertise in electron microscopy and/or electron diffraction. We don't write reviews, but we do solve cool structures!-hmn

Looking forward to an awesome year with the 2021-2022 DICI board! For more information about DICI, please visit: cce.caltech.edu/about/diversit…

Stay tuned for info regarding upcoming in person events!
