It's odd going 'home' to be a visitor giving a talk etc when home means a place you have not lived in for 21 years! At least I can still understand Dublin accents 😅

Four-year PhD available in my lab, funded by Johnson Matthey/EPSRC with joint supervision from Prof Ian Fairlamb (also York). Come and explore using supramolecular gels in precious metal catalysis and create innovative, sustainable, ways of doing organic synthesis. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Nice feeling to deactivate account on the other site. Everyone else is here anyway 🤷‍♂️

I really do think people should not keep reposting that Liz Truss crashed the economy - it makes her very cross and she wants to move on. So please don’t repost.

I’ll miss gently berating him about how he could never organise files on his laptop and always had hundreds of files on his desktop. Fraser delivered my first chemistry lecture and the rest is history… I learned so much and owe him so much. RIP. chemistry.northwestern.edu/people/in-me... #Chemsky

Hey #chemsky, ever wanted to know how your reaction REALLY works? What happens during that weird induction period, why does it only work in say MeCN, what is that excess ligand for, and why is the catalyst always dead after X-many turnovers whatever you do?

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field
