Sarah Reisman and Melanie Sanford on how organic chemistry is changing and how they’ve learned to choose priorities
Being a chemistry professor is a juggling act. But sometimes professors have too many balls in the air. How do they know which ones to grab and which to let drop? In this episode of Stereo Chemistry, C&EN's Leigh Krietsch Boerner sits down with organic chemists Sarah Reisman and Melanie Sanford to hear how they decide what projects to work on, what sparks joy for them in the lab, and what being an organic chemist really means to them.
A transcript of this episode will be available soon at cen.acs.org.
