📢 Join us for #Chem255 @harvard.edu next spring youtube.com/watch?v=Tbqh... 🥳🥳 #crystallography #undergraduate #graduate #education

While prepping for group meeting, a student spotted a structure with R1 = 0.9813 (!) in pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... @ccdc.cam.ac.uk 😱 and used what he learned in #Chem255 to refine it to R1 < 0.06—after squeezing out mystery solvents. What an achievement! 🥳 #crystallography #education

🤗🤗Grading the #FinalExam for #Chem255 has been a joy! Immensely proud of the incredible progress our #undergraduate and #graduate students made this spring at
Harvard 🥳🥳 youtube.com/watch?v=Tbqh... #Crystallography #Education
