🎵I've made my schemes
Line after line
Written my sentence
Experimentals so fine
NMR tables
I've made a few
I've had my share of plans scooped in my face
But I've come through (and I mean to go on, and on, and on, and on)
🎼
We write the patents, my friends
And we'll keep on writing 'til the end🎵

I have recently become rather expert at using photocatalysis to reductively de-halogenate heterocycles of high med chem relevance
(while trying to cross couple)
A new superpower if you will

Science, too. Ideas are cheap. The hard part is getting things done.
I've had a few 'what do you do' convs recently, and everyone on hearing I'm an author comes out with "so how do you come up with ideas?", just like every book or movie about a writer has them staring numbly into space because they don't have an idea for the next book. And look, that is Not It.

Tripped on a loose floorboard during your big solo?

Problematic stage gap
Needle opening either too big or too small?
Problematic gauge gap.
Not enough wizards to defend your castle from an onslaught of evil sorcerers? Problematic mage gap.

Searching for an old post I found this nugget about process chemistry
(Disclaimer: I am not a process chemist - but I listen to them)

“Process chemistry is 90% reactions and 50% ensuring a safe quench and recryst”

Mama, just made a bond
Put some ligand in a flask, palladium, now it’s done
Mama, i cleaned it up
But now I've gone and thrown it in the waste
Mama, ooh, I really think I’m gonna cry
If I can’t make it this time tomorrow
We can’t publish as if nothing really matters🎵
#ChemSky #ChemChat
Didn’t write the MCAT, lab rat
Working at the bench gonna be a big prof someday
You got mud in your flask, slept through class,
Data points scattered all over your graphs, singin’

We will, we will publish!
We will, we will publish!
