Excited to be at Fudan University in Shanghai with Qi Zhang 张琦 for the Shanghai Master Forum on Science! Looking forward to fruitful discussions and sharing perspectives

The best Conference ever ISMSC2024 that I took a picture together with my PhD supervisor Feringa Lab and Postdoc Supervisor Rafal Klajn
And finally I am so thrilled to meet Fraser Stoddart for the very first time 🙌

At the amazing conference in Hangzhou for ISMSC2024, we had a heartwarming reunion with current and former Feringa group members, our 'Chinese family'.

Great start of ISMSC2024 Team ISMSC WISC Feringa Lab

A couple of weeks left to apply, please spread the word that we have this opening (applications before May 24th)

Congratulations Ben. Great honour for you and the University of Groningen! member of the world famous Am Phil Society

The first day of lectures (October 3, 2024) at ASTS-NDM 2024 (riceglobalparisorganicsynthesis.org) will feature Feringa Lab & K.B. Sharpless as Plenary Speakers and Sarah Reisman, Sherburn Lab, Marek Group, Echavarren Lab, A. Fürstner, P. Somfai and Laszlo Kurti as Invited Speakers.

:)))) grateful for my first first author paper and first front cover!

Check out the beautiful artwork for the front cover of Chemistry portraying Roza and Anne Van Der Harten work on Solar Thermal Energy Storage

We're delighted to announce that Ben has been elected as a member of the prestigious American Philosophical Society Am Phil Society. Excited to engage and collaborate with the Society's endeavors! Stratingh Institute for Chemistry University of Groningen
