@stuartcantrill so great isn’t it?!

@RaDragonfly it tasted even better!
Ok, since I’m new here @stuartcantrill suggested I should give you a brief #introduction.
I am Canadian! In fact French-Canadian (not a Quebecer). I studied at the University of Ottawa for both undergrad and PhD with Keith Fagnou. Many of my closest chemistry friends are from the #FagnouFactory.
I joined #MerckChemistry in 2007 in Montreal and then NJ. I now lead a group of chemists and engineers in the Process R&D space
I’m also passionate about developing talent and establishing a creative and fulfilling work environment for my team. Recently my long time colleague Becky Ruck and I wrote about the transformation of Merck Process in that regard in the 65th anniversary special issue of Tetrahedron. #MerckChemistry
I tweet about #MerckChemistry science, #pharma and #ChemistsWhoGolf or #ChemistsWhoCook.
I love bubbly wine and fancy food. Since I don’t run reactions in the lab anymore, I do them in my kitchen trying new techniques and recipies.
I also co-host the #PharmToTablePod with my colleague Dani Schultz. Go check it out here on Apple Podcasts if any other platform.

Im also going to take a look at PostNews as we all experiment with life after twitter… if you want to check it out, you can get on the waitlist here: https://post.news/?r=oGIcI
You don’t have to have everything figured out. That mindset is a trap that can restrict you to think “small”. Being resilient and resourceful can overcome some gaps in subject matter expertise! #QuoteOfTheWeek #WorkLife
Related to this, I have been asking people that request Zoom with me to “catch up” to send me a summary over email of what they want to talk about first. That way I can see if we need a meeting or if we can resolve over email. Most have responded OK but I got a couple angry people that were straight offended I didn’t take the meeting (and said so explicitly).
One’s time is not anybody else’s. I have no obligation to take anybody’s call requests. Takes energy but have to do it.
