So I'm currently about a year away from finishing a PhD in theoretical chemistry, mostly using various DFT codes for studying optical properties of materials and molecules. I'm studying at a top global university. I'm at the stage where I need to be thinking about careers. My current take is that my actual project experience is completely useless for any actual job in the EU. I wi…

Hey, our latest work recently went online. It's open access so everyone can access it. In our work "Uncovering the Key Role of Distortion in Bioorthogonal Tetrazine Tools That Defy the Reactivity/Stability Trade-Off" we show that 2-pyridyl-1,2,4,5-tetrazines react fast in Diels-Alder reactions with trans-cyclooctenes because of destabilization in the reactant which makes it easi…
