“Representation is the key. For a long time, I was the only Indigenous scholar I knew in chemistry. When more people say, ‘I belong to this group and I'm doing science,’ it makes it safer for others to step forward.”

Thermal analysis of 19 NHCs shows how steric bulk affects volatility & activation temps—key for area-selective #ALDep. Authors from @carleton.ca & @c2mci.bsky.social show that NHCs have strong potential as stable, tunable vapor-phase small molecule inhibitors. doi.org/10.1116/6.00...
