On May 8, 2018, the Houk group hosted a virtual symposium on synthetic organic chemistry featuring talks by Sarah Reisman (Caltech) and Phil Baran (Scripps).
The first quarterly American Chemical Society (ACS)-DOC virtual symposium, featuring two total-synthesis “stars”, was viewed “live” by students and postdocs in Young Hall 2033 conference room via YouTube. Professor Sarah Reisman, California Institute of Technology, gave a talk titled “Necessity is the Mother of Invention: Natural Products and the Chemistry They Inspire” and by, and Professor Phil Baran, the Scripps Research Institute, gave a talk titled “Studies in Natural Prodcut Total Synthesis”.
