Huge congratulations to Saurabh Chitnis @sschitnis.bsky.social (University of Victoria) and Xiongyi Huang (Johns Hopkins University), who we are delighted to name as the joint winners of the 2025 ChemComm Emerging Investigator Lectureship!
I've seen a lot of skeletons runs (all within the last week) but Matt Weston's run just now to get the gold was absolutely sensational
Registration is now open for the 2026 RSC (@rsc.org) Main Group Interest Group Conference:
www.rsc.org/events/detai...
The meeting will be taking place on the 8-9th April 2026 at the University of Edinburgh, showcasing a breadth of inorganic/main group chemistry- We would love to see you there.
After ten years of having my undergraduate lecture handouts and notes stored in a box (and having barely touched them), I have decided today is the day they will be recycled. Can't wait for someone to stop me on the street tomorrow and ask me to explain an equilibrium isotope effect
I am advertising a fully funded chemistry PhD scholarship in my group at @aucklanduni.bsky.social to study titanium catalysts attached to sold supports. For more details see: tinyurl.com/FalconerPhD1

A graphic summarising Broadening Horizons in the Chemical Sciences run by the Royal Society of Chemistry. The graphic highlights the main pillars of the programme – the Taster Event, site visits, mentorship and placements alongside the overall alumni impact of the programme. Each aspect is surrounded by information and illustrated with quotes from past Broadening Horizons scholars. The graphic ends with an inspirational message: “…do make the most of this opportunity, you get out of it what you put into it“.

My expert prediction that Josh Sargent would open the scoring early on for Norwich ;)
Better try and predict the lottery numbers this week too #WatfordFC

Burlington House needs bigger stairs for symposium photographs😌
Thank you so much to all of the attendees for joining us for a wonderful exploration of sensing, diagnostics and bioimaging!
We will be closing out the day with our publishing panel and a very special invited talk from Chris Chang!
Me logging on today to see it's my work anniversary...

The Purbeck Breezer 50! Was pretty neat (but definitely lives up to the 'breezer' in the name) 🌬
Cambridge to Swanage is a long, multi-step journey by public transport, but the last leg involves an open top double-decker bus hopping on a ferry which does add a bit of flair ⛴️
An amazing few days in Nova Scotia comes to an end. Thanks to my wonderful friends-cum-tour guides, all the locals who enjoyed speaking to me (mostly for the accent) and the weather gods for the lovely weather
Canada has not disappointed in sights, friendliness and poutine thus far (although slightly less continuous rainfall wouldn't have gone amiss... )
Another season of @rsc.org Cricket Club has got going! Highlights of our first game included a beautiful sunset (after a grey and windy start), our last wicket pair surviving the final over and meeting a three legged golden retriever in the pub afterwards

While going through my Grandad's things, we came across a 1948 QMUL Student Union magazine, containing an advert for a certain learned society's predecessor that his grandson is now employed by 👀
The rugged and steep slopes of Glas Bheinn provided today's challenge and first mountain of the year! Spectacular views of the other Assynt hills and a relentless icy blast to the face

It's snowdrop season at Wandlebury Country Park, as well as parrot season? 🦜
Two molecular orbital energy-level diagrams showing two occupied orbitals and one unoccupied orbital. The title says "You lower my LUMO", which stands for Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital. The diagram on the left shows the LUMO at lower energy, which means it is more accessible to a chemical reaction. The difference in energy is shown with a heart symbol. The diagrams are labeled "me" and "me in the presence of you", because my love for you has made me our chemistry more likely.
Please enjoy this extremely niche Valentine's Day card I made for those who enjoy frontier orbitals and love. #chemsky
