Integrating Social Responsibility and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion into the Graduate Chemistry Curriculum Science’s broader impacts and the historic social, political, and geographic implications of these impacts are rarely discussed in graduate STEM curricula. A new required “Scientific Responsibility and Citizenship” course for first year chemistry graduate students was developed and taught at UC Berkeley.

Schweinfurthins and their derivatives/analogues have been reported to be potent and selective inhibitors of cancer cell growth [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Since the discovery of natural vedelianin, the first example of this family of compounds, several schweinfurthin derivatives have been isolated or synthesized and screened for their biological activities [5], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12].

AbstractMethods for selective covalent modification of amino acids on proteins can enable a diverse array of applications, spanning probes and modulators of protein function to proteomics1,2,3. Owing to their high nucleophilicity, cysteine and lysine residues are the most common points of attachment for protein bioconjugation chemistry through acid–base reactivity3,4.

The intensifying effects of climate change necessitate rapid decarbonization of the electrical grid. (1,2) This presents multiple challenges, one of which is the intermittency of renewable energy resources such as wind and solar power. (3) A promising option for addressing the mismatch between supply and demand for renewable energy is the widespread incorporation of grid-scale electrochemical energy storage infrastructure.
