As someone who ended up working on a few of those projects in the @babak_lab at @MSUChem, and also as a co-author of OR chapter in Vol. 105, I agree with @JenniferSchoma4 😊

Professor Jennifer Schomaker shares one (of many!) favorite OR chapters about asymmetric halofunctionalization of alkenes towards desirable products including chiral heterocycles, synthetic building blocks, and key intermediates in route to NPs. Read: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Great work everybody! Several lab generations working together. And somehow nobody was hurt in the long(!) process... congratulations!

We're grateful to Prof. Vy Dong from UC Irvine @Vy_Dong_Group who took us on an adventure in metal-hydride catalysis and other cool bond forming reactions. Thanks for sharing so much science, time, and perspective with us - and especially with our students!
