This is the first in what will hopefully become a series of blog posts focusing on the fascinating work of Dan Singleton (professor at Texas A&M).

As an undergraduate student in the sciences at MIT, contempt for management consulting was commonplace.

For many organic chemists, it’s hard to grasp the vast difference between various “fast” units of time.

While IR spectroscopy is still taught in introductory organic chemistry classes, it has been almost completely replaced by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry for routine structural assignments.

In my experience, most computational chemists only know a handful of basic Bash commands, which is a shame because Bash is incredibly powerful.

This thesis, from Christian Sailer at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, is one of the most exciting studies I’ve read this year.

Now that our lab’s site-selective glycosylation has been published, I wanted to share some reflections from the computational portion of the work.
