About Josh

I’ll get the formal stuff out of the way first. I received my BS in chemistry from Wheaton College, IL in ‘05. I then received my MS in organic chemistry from Univ. of Chicago in ‘06. During my first year at UC, I served as a TA for the undergrads in Ochem. This consisted of holding weekly discussions, office hours and supervising laboratories. Currently I am working toward a Ph.D. in Prof. Hisashi Yamamoto’s lab at UC where I am researching the oxazaborolidine catalyzed asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions.

If you have nothing else to do, then you can read this. My advice to anyone having a bad day is to go to an emo concert. Don’t buy a fuel efficient, economy-sized car. I prefer the Chevy Caprice, Ford Crown Vic, or a Buick - which are all big and provide safety during an accident. Yngwie Malmsteen does not receive enough credit for his guitar virtuosity. Movies should be seen and not heard. I had a warrant out for my arrest after being falsely accused by a police officer of pulling mattresses with people on them behind my crown vic. I have more to say but come back later…
