@narayanlab.bsky.social and @gabegomes.bsky.social designed Catnip--so named because it's "for the biocats"--to make it easier for newbs to use enzymatic reactions in organic synthesis. I had the privilege of hearing them talk about it at #ACSSpring2025 earlier this week!

Our latest is a serendipitously discovered pair of reactions that can pull either the C2 or C3 carbon out of quinolines by choice of an amine scavenger. A deep mechanistic dive took us some surprising places, in @chemiejisoo.bsky.social's latest.

Social sanctions are powerful, for ill and for good, and I personally feel like it would be good to make shit like ChatGPT utterly socially unacceptable, like the height of shame to admit using, a subject that slams down an awkward silence when it’s uncritically invoked
first day in industry ✅
can’t believe i’m a process chemist
excited to announce that i’ll be joining the process/hte team at vertex (boston) at the end of april!
crazy to think 4 years ago on this very day, i got into umich, now i get to transition to my dream role in industry 🤠♥️
officially a bostonian (or whatever they call people who live in cambridge!)
aside from the sweet process gig, i’m now closer to one of my favorite cats in the world, stella 🫶🏼♥️

contrary to what many people might think, i did NOT name my wifi network “organic chemistry is easy”

Divergent synthesis is a powerful strategy that provides simultaneous access to multiple derivatives of a given substrate. However, the emerging developments in skeletal editing have largely delivered...
