Our mechanochemistry paper has been selected as 2024 HOT Green Chemistry article! We have decided to leave Twitter (X), as we don't want to support Elon Musk, Trump and all the crazy lies they spread. Please follow our LinkedIn page Olofsson Lab instead. We have created a LinkedIn group for current and former coworkers - please join Olofsson Group Alumni! Our SUCCeSS Perspective called "Nanocellulose: New Horizons in Organic Chemistry and Beyond" is now published in Chem - well done Sayad, Vera & Aji! The C-diarylation of carbon nucleophiles to give all carbon qaternary center products is now available in JACS Au, congratulations Shobhan and Benjamin! Berit received the EuChemS Division of Organic Chemistry Award for Service! The award will be handed out at ESOC 2025 in Copenhagen. Our Nature Chemistry News and Views on Waser's cool paper about cyclopropenium benziodoxoles is now out. Ester won the Ludwig Ramberg Thesis Award in Organic Chemistry! It is awarded every second year by the Swedish Chemical Society to draw attention to the most outstanding doctoral dissertation in organic chemistry in Sweden. Congratulations Ester! Berit is now the President of the international ESOC committee. Berit has been elected to the Advisory Board of the high impact journal Chem (Cell press)! See the SU announcement for more details. |
