• viewed as the most challenging and most important medium for molecular recognition. This led to my decision to postdoc for Ron Breslow at Columbia University, who is known for biomimetic chemistry, but at the heart of his cyclodextrin-based enzyme mimics is molecular recognition in water. Breslow’s style
