Cool paper alert.

I can’t wait for when systems thinking and green chemistry are the scaffold for even more chemistry education.

Very happy to see this work out! It was a pleasure to work with Abbie Scholes, couldn’t have asked for a better lab partner 🫶
Big thanks to supervisor team for their support.
I’ll be presenting this work at #PlasmaTech24 in Vienna (18/04), please come and say hi if you there!

📢 Only a couple more days left to sign up for early bird registration to UkPorMat! 🗓️ We have a fantastic selection of speakers from across the field of porous materials and it’s sure to be a great conference!

It was fab to host Emily Draper for an excellent seminar yesterday - thank you for coming!

The Faraday Discovery Fellowships are long-term awards designed to support emerging research leaders in undertaking high-quality, original research. Find out more about the scheme on our website, and register for updates to be the first to hear more: royalsociety.org/grants/faraday…

An absolute pleasure to be at this great meeting - thank you James Group for organising!

Some time ago Keith Andrews and I met at a conference and had a chat by his poster that it would be quite exciting to try and crystallise his cage in a number of different geometries with an automated liquid-liquid crystallisation setup:

In the lab, Caitlin and Thomas Fellowes (working with Anna Slater (she/her) and Andy Cooper), managed to identify all five different structures, giving access to a wide range of acid-acid distances across the binding cavity.
