I guess I’ll show the actual horse girls on insta in a sec but I want to show the scientists first. look at our pretty ribbons!!!!!! everyone say good job violet!!!!!!!

Today's opener

My final first author of grad school is live now! This unexpected project gave me the fantastic opportunity to mentor Amelia, an incredibly talented undergrad, and I finally got Jason Dutton and Wengryniuk Lab names on a paper together! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

“this doesn’t make me panic, since I would never attempt to crawl into a dark hole in a poorly mapped cave system where I could easily disappear” I say, as I still fully plan on going into academia

Me: Hey HPLC did my starting material convert to my product? My HPLC:

so so SO excited to finally be able to drop some personal news‼️ I’ll be moving up to west lafayette next month to start my postdoc helping Gabriel Lovinger start up his ✨new lab✨ Purdue Chemistry. incredibly grateful for the opportunity and SO pumped to get back in the lab!

I'm excited to welcome the first official Lovinger Lab member, incomparable chemist, and equine aficionado Dr. Anna Davis! ⌬ dr. anna davis! ⌬ thanks for agreeing to unbox the toys and explore the liminal space between imagination and reality.

Cannot emphasize enough how iconic this is going to be! Cannot wait to see the amazing chemistry to come.

its actually good luck for a black cat to cross your path when it’s her birthday

the one time levi, karl, and marc hang out without me they get an angewantde paper out of it :( (however, HUGE congrats to three of my favorite dudes on some awesome work!!)

back in the coolest city ever this weekend let’s gooooooooo

idk a lot of early career academics I know seem perfectly capable of making one on their own

This search is for synthetic organic chemistry at the assistant level. Please share!

“I should share this for my friends going out for faculty jobs this year!” I think, as it hits me that I’m old enough to have friends going out for faculty jobs this year

9/17/24: Amidst a whirlwind month I defended my dissertation and I’m officially Dr. Radzanowski! 🍾

Congratulations to Dr. Kim Hollister, now scientist at Dow, on winning the 2024 Davison Prize for best inorganic thesis at MIT (MIT Chemistry)! She contributed to 11 publications (5 first-author), tackling challenging synthesis and photophysics of boron heterocycles.
