This is a really thoughtful piece from my amazing colleague @jaygforsythe.bsky.social. Give it a read! #PUI #Chemsky
Proud this was selected as yesterday’s #ACSEditorsChoice article! Please share with those interested in PUI faculty positions — it is targeted at analytical chemists but hopefully useful to others too.

I wrote a perspective article in JASMS about my experiences at a primarily undergraduate institution and how to develop a research and teaching program in mass spectrometry — I hope people find it useful!

Participating in the NSF REU program at UVA cemented for me that grad school in organic chemistry was the path I wanted - I wrote my first applications the week I got back. The experience showed me so much of what I wanted my career to be. This is tragic and shortsighted beyond words.
My first research experience was because of a summer NSF REU. I learned to code (in FORTRAN 77!) as part of the KTeV high energy physics collaboration. It launched my passion for science & my entire career. Devastating to see this valuable program gutted.

Two lectures down, upper level electives planned, lab course coordinated and ready for next week, advisees advised, new research students in the fold, conference travel scheduled, and collaborations synced up. The new semester’s up and running and it’s been 2.5 days. #chemsky #PUI #ProfLife

Got asked by an environmental studies student if cuprate coupling reactions were concerning from a sustainability standpoint since they were stoichiometric and wasted half the nucleophile - best set up question ever for our unit on Pd catalysis. That right there is why we do it. #chemsky

Having a reaction safety discussion today at work and sharing some key info about NaH/DMF - this paper is very informative #ChemSky #ChemLabSafety #NoNaHwithDMF
Potential Safety Hazards Associated with Using N,N-Dimethylformamide in Chemical Reactions
N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) is frequently used as a solvent because of its unique physical properties that allow it to solubilize both organic and inorganic substances. It has also found broad applications as a catalyst for a variety of chemical transformations and as a donor for many functional groups in synthetic organic chemistry. However, DMF is incompatible with a wide variety of substances and has resulted in many incidents over the years. Analysis of literature information indicates that those incompatible substances can be categorized as acids, bases, halogenated reagents, oxidants, and reductants. This comprehensive review of the potential hazards of using DMF in chemical reactions will serve as an educational resource to promote awareness of such safety hazards in the broader chemistry community and encourage scientists to develop appropriate control strategies to mitigate the potential safety risks associated with the use of DMF in chemical reactions.

Happy to see #chemsky here and to join up! My team of undergrads asks questions about peptide structure and function - what are its origins, what do minimal units look like, how stable are they? It’s exciting, fun, and gives my students a merciful break from me ranting about Philly sports.
