🍋 You don't want to run out of vitamin C. Why? Because it protects our cells from oxidative damage. That's why our body needs a constant supply. 💚 Great collaboration with the UZH Social Media Team. Thank you for your support! 🙌 @chem.uzh.ch @michaljuricek.bsky.social @chemsky.bsky.social

Molecules can take the high road too, and end up more twisted than they should. In our latest work, kinetic steering funnels the reaction into a single, twisted product, even though several products are possible. chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.... Big thanks to all co-authors!
