What a yearrrr 🤯 Ended the super busy year with my first flash talk prize ever at my second MASC #masc2024 🥰 (so proud of our dream team!! @jakeylg.bsky.social) The amazing magic and Christmas gift from @profdaveleigh.bsky.social, wish all of us a magical Christmas 🎠🪄🎁🥳 #chemsky

Well you didn’t miss #MASC2024 - it was great to get to know Kathryn Ashe!

after a fantastic time at #MASC2024, I am working at the University of Warwick with @fschaufelberger.bsky.social this week 😄 looking forward to seeing the department at my new affiliation and finishing off some manuscripts 🧐💡🔗

The whole group (including Max the mascot) enjoyed a trip to York for #MASC2024. Great to catch up with old friends and new science!

As a tribute to #MASC2024, which I'm missing, here's our new paper: "Bottom-Up Computational Design of Shape-Selective Organic Macrocycles for Humid CO2 Capture" chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr... #chemsky

Thanks again to the organisers of #MASC2024 and to the RSC MASC group. The MASCot has made it to Open University and we look forward to seeing everyone in 2025 for #MASC2025 organised by the School of Life, Health and Chemical Sciences.

I had a fantastic time at #MASC2024 in York. First conference since arriving back in the U.K.. Great to meet many new people, catch-up with others and see some fab supramolecular and macrocyclic chemistry presented. Huge thanks to the organisers for putting together such a great meeting.

Quote of #MASC2024 "We didn't design it. It just happened."

I really enjoyed #MASC2024, but frustrated to have to leave early - had the general evidence of brain misfires that’s part of my epilepsy & a clear signal rest is needed. Sorry to have missed out on seeing everyone I wanted to see! Quiet space was v appreciated as were those who looked after me :)

The quality of the posters and their presenters as #MASC2024 was fantastic. Communicating your work to an interested non-specialist, and feeling comfortable going off-script, are skills. It's rare that I go to a poster session and everyone I speak to is so confident and in command of their subject.

Congratulations to the winners of the Cell Press sponsored poster prizes at #MASC2024! 🥳👏
CRPS EIC @andrewbissette.bsky.social presented the certificates to the winners @cp-cellrepphyssci.bsky.social

Excited to hear Jonathan Nitschke - my PhD supervisor - give his 2024 MASC Group Supramolecular Chemistry Award lecture! Congratulations Jonathan! #MASC2024 #ChemSky

Last talk of #MASC2024 is the supramolecular chemistry award lecture, by Jonathan Nitschke. Promises to be an exciting 50 minutes!

Excellent presentation from @jiarongwu.bsky.social at #MASC2024 in York, UK! Very proud! #chemsky 💯💯💯

huge congrats to Peter on winning the John Fossey PhD Thesis prize, for his incredible work on mechanical stereochemistry 🥳🥳🥳 #MASC2024

Loving @sgoldup.bsky.social ‘s reinvention as a TikTok influencer 😂 #MASC2024

@sgoldup.bsky.social’s pre-recorded message to the #MASC2024 audience is the level of camp that the community deserves! #ChemSky

Surprise appearance at #MASC2024 by @sgoldup.bsky.social with some truly incredible special effects during his remote presentation.

Now realising that somehow I managed not to include text 🤦🏻‍♂️ Day 2 of #MASC2024 is going swimmingly! #ChemSky

Autonomous oscillatory movement of sensory protocells in stratified chemical media Design of motile microcompartments is challenging since sizes above a few microns are outside the Brownian regime, with limited ways to mobilize compartments at this length scale. Here, we have developed protamine/dsDNA microcapsules containing antagonistic pairs of catalase and glucose oxidase enzymes capable of sensing chemical substrate gradients by means of bubble-mediated buoyant motility to achieve adaptive oscillatory movement across stratified chemical media. In contrast to existing literature, we present highly controllable, motile compartments without the need for external guidance.

Always exciting to see a paper you handled being presented - Avinash Patel is talking about this Chem paper on motile protocell models within heterogeneous environments at #MASC2024 www.cell.com/chem/fulltex...

Day two of #MASC2024 🧪 💚 @roysocchem.bsky.social #york

It’s been a great couple of days in York for #MASC2024 with some great science presented from across supramolecular chemistry! Great to be here representing Chemistry at Cell Press with @cp-cellrepphyssci.bsky.social (and this very fun balloon display!) 🎈
#chemsky

Enjoying hearing @rienkeelkema.bsky.social talk about his local nuclear reactor this morning at #MASC2024

@profdaveleigh.bsky.social treating everyone to some magic and magical chemistry at #masc2024 with help from @jiarongwu.bsky.social from @jakeylg.bsky.social group #chemsky

Good morning - I'm ready for another day of great science at #MASC2024 here in York. He's a shot of last night's conference dinner venue before hordes of hungry chemists arrived!

My inner Rosa Diaz is delighted #MASC2024

Roll on day 2! #MASC2024

And I’m not at #MASC2024 as one of us has to look after the kids in Glasgow and @profdraper.bsky.social gets dibs as (a) I was there last year and (b) most importantly she’s won a prize!

Caring responsibilities as a single parent mean I can't travel to conferences. We are hosting #MASC2024 in York, and after just 1 day, I feel inspired and have already had a cool idea for a new proposal. Academic travel is such a vital thing to lose - we have to help ECR parents.
