F-T but If I’m talking about it I just abbreviate to ‘Fleming Oxidation’. 🙊

Some of the best choral music I’ve heard is from the Skyrim soundtracks. e.g.

An #orgchem #postdoc position funded by EPSRC is available to work with me and Manuel Müller in the Chemistry Dept of @kingsnmes.bsky.social, along with Prof Craig Butts at the University of Bristol to develop a new generation of foldamer catalysts. tinyurl.com/yc62fa7h #chempostdoc #chemjobs

OK this is cool.

Another long walk through the capital.

The countdown is on! Registrations close in three days on Friday 27 June, 23:59 GMT.

International Symposium on Foldamers We are delighted to announce that 2025 International Symposium on Foldamers will be held from the 1st – 3rd September and is hosted by King's College London, UK in the Great Hall on the Strand....

We still have several ECR bursaries for the Foldamers meeting (see foldamers2025.com to register) which pays for conference fees, travel and board! Applicants need to be from or based in the UK but there is still a student rate for those who are not. #chemistry #conference #foldamers #supramolecular

Well it’s 20 years of the Cobb group. Any ideas on how to celebrate!?

There's just one month left to register for the 2025 International Symposium on Foldamers! Join us this autumn in London for three days of cutting-edge science, networking & discovery.

There are still some places available for oral/poster presentations for the International Sympsium on Foldamers, and so we have extended the abstract deadline to 16th May. We also have a student rate now! Submit/sign up at www.foldamers2025.com - looking forward to seeing you!

You sure you didn’t just accidentally leave your sandwich in a box for a few months?

Hadn’t been on one of my long walks for a while.. #LoveLondon

I was there yesterday! Must have missed you. So many to catch up with!

Join The University of Manchester, AstraZeneca, and Syngenta in a fully funded PhD program on Quantum Mechanics, Machine Learning, and Catalyst Design.

📢 Only one week left to apply! Don't miss out!

Early start #BristolSyntheiss

Come along if you’re local! And especially if you’re a tenor!

Had a great time at the Indian Peptide Society meeting. Here is a photo of me with the last slide, shamelessly advertising the Sept 1-3rd Foldamers meeting in London. Please come along! www.foldamers2025.com #chemsky

A 1 page summary giving a quick overview of the rules for assigning stereochemical descriptors to helical and axial chirality. There are five boxes. The first gives brief highlights of the CIP rules. The second looks at helical molecules. The third looks at using a helix to describe a conformation (I know, why would you do such a thing? It's horrible, but I've seen it in the wild). Box 4 is using R/S for axial chirality while Box 5 treats the axis as a helix and uses P/M.

A niche #Chemistry #ChemSky #ChemEd summary, assigning stereochemical descriptors to axial & equatorial chirality. I know some argue these phrases are meaningless, but they're terms used by synthetic chemists. I know others just hate stereochemistry (you weirdos)! Hope it is useful (& corrected)

Professor Amos B. Smith iii

We are deeply saddened to share that our friend and colleague Professor Amos B. Smith III has passed away. Amos joined Penn in 1973 and was a mainstay in our organic chemistry division. He recently celebrated 50 years of service to @upenn.edu @pennsas.bsky.social.

Superb!

Throwback to when it got this cold in my lab at Reading. Perhaps coincidentally, the HPLC hard drive corrupted the same day. #chemsky

Weekend walk. Such a privilege to live in the glorious Chilterns.

Southwark Chamber Choir: Christmas Concert Southwark Chamber Choir invite you to an evening of Christmas music, including Britten's Ceremony of Carols and other Christmas favourites.

Come to our concert if you’re about! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/southwark-...

Cobb Group Christmas outing - did they let me win the first game?? #chemsky

I started this Minecraft cathedral a few years ago, but progress has been slow because I only play it with the boychild and he only ever wants to play in extreme survival mode rather than this creative mode. But it’s getting there. Only the transepts and ambulatory to go…. Maybe another 2 years?

Stop working and feed me now. #cats

I feel your pain.

A really fun afternoon/evening. Hope everyone watching thought so!
