Constance Bailey’s ’10 Enduring Fascination with Polyenes

Connie checked in by email from the Keatinge-Clay lab at the University of Texas-Austin graduate school today. She says, “I very much enjoy reading your news blog to see what my classmates are up to!”

She also asked a question about “non-enzyme mediated pericyclic rearangements” that might be a little too technical for readers who haven’t taken Chemistry 324, so I’ll just skip to the bottom line. Connie closes, “PS – I probably wouldn’t be so fascinated by these polyene natural products
if it weren’t for taking your class my junior year, so thank you.”
