🎵I've made my schemes
Line after line
Written my sentence
Experimentals so fine
NMR tables
I've made a few
I've had my share of plans scooped in my face
But I've come through (and I mean to go on, and on, and on, and on)
🎼
We write the patents, my friends
And we'll keep on writing 'til the end🎵

Me discovering I have let somebody’s email sit in my inbox for three months: “Well, obviously I can never email him again. I guess I need to wait for news of his eventual death until I can stop feeling bad about this.”

Protodeboronation during Suzuki reactions is not due to the presence of base, it is due to the Curse of Yamada, a co-author who did not win the Nobel Prize.

A note to chemical vendors…
I don’t mind getting an out of stock email
But-PLEASE-tell me more than “catalog number——- is out of stock”. Tell me what that compound is
I just ordered 6 things from you now I have to go look up to see which one I’m not going to get

Patience you must have, my young Charlie Brown.
I would like to have seen Montana, Charlie Brown.
The line must be drawn here, Charlie Brown! This far, and no farther

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain, Charlie Brown
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy, Charlie Brown.

Must have been late afternoon
On our way, the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars, skip the cracks in the street
And ask many questions, like children often do
He said, "Tell me all your thoughts on God
Tell me am I very far?"

How did I not think of Joan Osborne?!
What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make His way home?

I have recently become rather expert at using photocatalysis to reductively de-halogenate heterocycles of high med chem relevance
(while trying to cross couple)
A new superpower if you will

Science, too. Ideas are cheap. The hard part is getting things done.
I've had a few 'what do you do' convs recently, and everyone on hearing I'm an author comes out with "so how do you come up with ideas?", just like every book or movie about a writer has them staring numbly into space because they don't have an idea for the next book. And look, that is Not It.
