After the GRS, I was lucky to stay for the Bioorganic Chemistry GRC, chaired by Denise Field and @doc-jlmeier.bsky.social. This meeting is truly one of my favorite weeks of the year, and as every year, I learned so much and left the meeting so inspired in my own science!

Last week, I had the privilege of chairing the Bioorganic Chemistry GRS with my amazing co-chair @zhilindseylin.bsky.social. Thank you to all of our amazing speakers, poster presenters for a truly incredibly GRS!

This is an excellent article on the termination of all federal funding at Harvard.
This visualization shows all of the terminated programs that were supposed to train the next generation of scientists.
