#19: Wow, a tracker. That reminds me of the movie Rabbit-Proof Fence.

I’ve met Neil Garg, the post-doc (current asst. prof at UCLA) who finished this beast. Great guy, and he definitely has earned a rep as a finisher of molecules. It says something to be able to come in and finish something like this in under a year that’s been ongoing for that long.

I also track the IP addresses of all commenters at Org Prep Daily. It’s only done for the eventuality that someone writes objectionable comments. That way I can allert their school or employer or government authorities. (The problem usually stops right after that. Hah.)

I am not one of the investigators (I wish I could claim so), though i know them and know the work. And I agree, they should be congratulated with or without a solicited blog recognition.

Anonymosity: You’re never as anonymous as you think you are. Your IP address (which is logged every time you visit) can be traced back to the domain you are on. So in your case, it leads back to UT-Austin. Interesting…
Anyway, it’s a neat synthesis, so probably. I’m kinda busy just now, but it should be blogged in the coming days. And congrats if your were one of the investigators!

Im a grad student at NC State and saw Overman present this work at GSK in the RTP for a distinguished lecturer seminar. It was quite impressive and a lot of steps for a molecule without that much functionality
