✨Welcome to the 'Sea to Sky Summit' on Organic & Bioorganic Chemistry!✨ We’re excited to launch the official Twitter(X)-page for a student-led chemistry conference bringing together leading researchers, BC-based faculty, and industrial scientists for an immersive weekend at the frontiers of synthetic organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Sea-to-Sky corridor, the Summit will take place at Capilano University in Squamish, BC — a retreat-style setting surrounded by mountains, forests, and world-class trails. It’s the perfect environment for focused science, meaningful conversations, and building lasting connections across academia and industry. Our scientific program will highlight advances in: 🔬 Small-molecule & natural product synthesis ⚗️ Catalyst and reaction design 🧠 Mechanistic discovery 🧬 Chemical biology & translational research Follow along for speaker announcements, program highlights, and behind-the-scenes updates as we build a stronger network of organic chemists across British Columbia. We can’t wait to share what’s ahead! 📍 Squamish, BC 🧑‍🔬 Student-led | Community-focused | Collaboration-driven #S3OBC #OrganicChemistry #ChemicalBiology #MedicinalChemistry #SyntheticChemistry #Chemistry

Check out our stunning venue!!! 🏔️🌄 We're so excited to host the first-ever 'Sea to Sky Summit' at @CapilanoU in Squamish, BC. Nestled between towering mountains, the Pacific ocean, and the breathtaking sea to sky landscape, this campus is the perfect setting to bring our scientific community together to connect, learn, and experience something truly special. We can't wait to welcome you! Register now: lnkd.in/gmDny2WV #seatoskysummit #organicchemistry #medicinalchemistry #conference #squamish #chemicalbiology

A nice summary of our recent work on the synthesis of nucleoside analogues has been published in Synfacts... check it out! #chemtwitter #nucleosides #oligonucleotides #organocatalysis #asymmetricenantioselectivesynthesis

We had a great time at Jackalope's Neighborhood Dive 🤘🏼🎸(Dr. Memo's favourite spot) celebrating our recent @J_A_C_S paper on the use of RAvIN Ketone building blocks for non-carbohydrate oligonucleotide synthesis! Make sure to check it out ! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…

Check out what our lab and the @reiser_group stitched together contemporaneously. Both labs report a new olefination method via denitrative cross-coupling of readily accessible nitroalkanes on @ChemRxiv Parasram (image): chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.264…. Reiser: chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.264…

We are thrilled to introduce "The RAvIN Platform" published in @J_A_C_S !!!🚨 This work features the efficient preparation of nucleosides in high enantiopurity (99.9% ee) and the first non-carbohydrate total synthesis of an oligonucleotide therapeutic. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Last week's Paper-of-the-Week (POW) presentations in our weekly group meeting featured some great work by Morken Group, @BrittonLab + Pantophlet + @DrLCsquare, @CarreiraGroup, and Reisman Group + Peters Group! #chemistry #boron

New paper alert!!! 🚨🚨🚨 We report "A unified platform for nucleoside analog synthesis" in @ScienceMagazine Congratulations to Matthew, Ethan, the rest of the team and our @Merck collaborators @DrLCsquare and @asymtmm for this monumental publication! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

The group had a fun outing at CRAFT Brewery last week for our annual Britton Lab Christmas Party! The night was complete with tasty food, good brews, and our traditional "Pirate Santa" gift exchange. You can see from the video which of the gifts was a favourite 😆 #chemtwitter

Congratulations to Alan ( @AlanBrookeChem ) for his recent publication "A convenient synthesis of enantioenriched α-haloaldehydes" - now online in RCS - Organic Chemistry Frontiers ... Check it out !!! #chemtwitter #alphahaloaldehydes #methodology pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

A handful of group members had the chance to represent the lab with some excellent poster and oral presentations in beautiful Banff, Alberta this past week! Thank you to the @BanffSOC committee for organizing such a fun and interactive conference! #chemtwitter

Congratulations to Ethan for his published review on "Non-carbohydrate syntheses of nucleoside analogues", featuring our group's research on the synthesis of ribo-, imino-, thio-, and carbocyclic nucleoside analogues from simple achiral precursors! cell.com/trends/chemistry/fu…

Welcome to our newest PhD student Peter! We had a fun group outing last week to celebrate, enjoying some brews and pizza at Rewind Brewery :) #chemtwitter #teambonding

New publication out in @angew_chem on the "Synthesis and Diversification of Bridged Nucleoside Analogues" in collaboration with @Merck, @DrLCsquare, and @asymtmm ... check it out! #chemtwitter #nucleosides onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
