- Hey! We Used C-h Activation To Make A Natural Product!
Once upon a time, we were interested making fumitremorgin A... Phil's interest in verruculogen and fumitremorgin A has been long standing (see: Austamine and Okaramine), but strangely the endoperoxide-containing indole alkaloids haven't...
- Diterpenoid-alkaloids Are So...fancy (you Already Know)
The second paper on our efforts toward diterpenes and related diterpenoid-alkaloids is out in JACS now. This is building off of work previously published in Angewante last year. The story of this project goes back more than 5 years. ...
- Open Flask Blog Turns 1
On a fateful day last February, Y. Brando, Dane, Will, and Hans were busy sitting around rumor-mongering upon the latest internet gossip (likely started by Hans in the first place). Dane was dwelling over his lack of Reddit karma when they were all interrupted...
- Who Wants To Be A Heterocyclic Millionaire?
In case you didn't know, Phil has been teaching a Heterocyclic Chemistry class here at Scripps since 2005. This course consists of approximately two dozen 1.5-hour lectures. Other than the students, there are many Scripps postdocs and industrial chemists...

Figure 1. Snaaaaaakeeeee, a snaaaaaakeeeee! Ahh benzene! Europeans fear it, I love the smell of it, and it can look like a snake (Figure 1)! What isn't there to love? Not to mention its qualities as a solvent, and its utility in the azeotropic removal...

Let Recruiting Season Begin!
Well, it's that time of year again. You know, the one where I look out my window at the Torrey Pines Golf Course and the ocean, think about going to the zoo in a t-shirt and shorts, and then walk out to my car that is not stuck in the snow. But really, sometimes it's foggy, so don't feel too bad about the weather, Ohio!
This time of the year also happens to correspond with graduate student recruiting, when people who have not yet been to graduate school show up, well-coiffed and nervous, to learn just how dedicated graduate students are to free food. You can see our outstanding recruitment poster above. Using my powers of surviving graduate student recruitment (by the hair of my chinny chin chin), I will now bestow up you some advice, as well as all the great things about The Scripps Research Institute. Prepare for a long read...
