Seminars This Week

Today is the day that I'm proud to be hosting Scott Snyder from Columbia University for his seminar at noon titled "Lessons in Chemoselectivity: Total Synthesis of Polyphenolic Natural Products" in 7-135 Weaver-Densford Hall. Scott and I overlapped at Scripps for a couple years, so it will be great to hear about the success of his independent research program at Columbia.

Alison Frontier from the University of Rochester will then be on campus this Wednesday and Thursday for the latest Abbott Workshop Series in Synthetic Organic and Medicinal Chemistry hosted by the Department of Chemistry. Her seminar, "New Twists in Nazarov Cyclization Chemistry," will be on Wednesday at 4:15 pm in 331 Smith Hall. The workshop discussion will be held on Thursday, July 14 at 10:00 am in 114 Science Teaching & Student Services. This will be followed by a pizza lunch, and the Fecik group meets with Alison from 1:30-2:15 pm.
