Pat was proud to receive a Blavatnik Young Investigator Award from the New York Academy of Sciences. The goal of the awards, according to Blavatnik Foundation Head Len Blavatnik, is “to recognize and celebrate exceptional young scientists - to make them examples of what the next generation of young scientists should strive to achieve.”

Congratulations to Team Imido for the acceptance of their paper on catalytic nitrene transfer at Organometallics. This was a long road that started with kinetics by Nate Eckert, then Ryan Cowley, then Matt Golder, and finally Malik Al-Afyouni did the finishing touches to reach the finish line.

A warm welcome to Dr. Ilija Coric, who is joining the group as a postdoc. Ilija comes to us from the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, where he did Ph.D. research with Ben List.
