Tis the season! The Engle lab hosted its first annual Holiday Party, complete with warm beverages, home-cooked confectionaries, and a white elephant gift exchange. Zhen is still deciding what is more difficult for a non-native English speaker, Taboo or Cards Against Humanity.

Happy Holidays from the Engle group!

After several days of hard work, Jorg and Allison Meyer successfully installed the freshly refurbished Grubbs-type solvent purification system (formerly belonging to the great K.C. Nicolaou) in the Engle lab for regular use. Without a moment to waste, members of the lab have already put the SPS to the test and have been dispensing various anhydrous solvents for the development of their new reactions!
