Read about these inspiring scientists and their work. #CENT12
Great quotes, as usual, from Phil Baran, who described his lab's latest reaction to me as "absurd." Read about how radicals meet in a cage match (my original headline) in my latest for @cenmag.bsky.social

I've got another chemistry article about football/soccer as the #WorldCup is about to start. This one's about the biochemistry that fuels athletes.

Honestly look at this molecule—it’s ridiculous
If I won the lottery I wouldn’t tell any one but you might notice I’ve bought enough molymods to build molecules like this.
Biocatalysts can build big molecules. A team at Merck & Co. developed a suite of enzymes that stitch together their oral PCSK9 inhibitor enlicitide. My latest for @cenmag.bsky.social

Molecules are full of surprises. Scientists made two molecular tweaks to a long-abandoned opioid and created a promising new compound. My latest for @cenmag.bsky.social

Looking for some #FridayFun? I highly recommend @mannyfoxmorone.bsky.social's #Newscripts column in @cenmag.bsky.social. It's full of data delights.

Turning nitroarenes into aromatic amines is a bread-and-butter organic chemistry reaction. But lots of these methods have drawbacks. A new reaction from P. Andrew Evans and Gregory Jerkiewicz sidesteps many of those. My latest in @cenmag.bsky.social.

The #WorldCup starts this week. Check out Prachi Patel's feature on the evolution of the football for @cenmag.bsky.social. It's a real kick!

All eyes will be <i>on</i> the ball during the FIFA World Cup, but let’s take a peek at the science and engineering that go into footballs
They’re here! Introducing the Talented 12 Class for 2026. These early-career scientists are taking on big global #chemistry challenges.
Meet the 2026 Class: cen.acs.org/people/profi...
