A windy Pier Walk to mark the start of Martinmas Semester. 💨 Welcome back to our returning students and hello to all our new ones - enjoy Orientation Week! #EverToExcel

📢Very excited to announce that our team will be moving to @standrewschem.bsky.social 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 later this month. I am so very grateful to @wuerthnergroup.bsky.social 🇩🇪for support over the last 3-years and stoked for our teams future! Check out an updated website at imineswitch.com 🚨🔦💡

🥳So excited to see our work highlighted #OnTheCover of @angewandtechemie.bsky.social (Outside Back Cover)!! Many thanks to Jo Richers Studio for designing this beautiful piece of art!🤩 👀Check out the full story here: doi.org/10.1002/anie... #ProudPI #SupramolecularChem #ChemTwitter #WomenInSTEM

On what would have been Fraser Stoddart's 83rd birthday, many of us remember the incredible legacy he has given us.

The School of Chemistry, with the support of the University EDI Project Fund & the RSC Inclusion and Diversity grant, are hosting a panel event titled “Elements of Inclusion” on Friday 23rd May at 10 am. Check here for info: www.linkedin.com/posts/st-and...

🙌#ProudPI to see Max’s and Vigan’s work online now in @synlettjournal.bsky.social 👀 www.thieme-connect.de/products/ejo... We report the synthesis of 2,8-dihalogenated diazocines demonstrating good reactivity in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. #KrbekGroup #ChemSky #molswitches #photoswitches

🚨📢Out now in #Chem, @jiarongwu.bsky.social and I figure out how to perturb a non-photoresponsive reaction(🌚) out of equilibrium using our imine-based photoswitches🔦💡This is achieved using a light-responsive transimination!(🌝) #AIPs #imine #OpenAccess #ChemSky doi.org/10.1016/j.ch...

We are very delighted to invite you to the East Chem Early Career Conference 2025. The event will be held at the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews on the 17th of June, 2025. We welcome submissions from all over the UK. ececr2025.wordpress.com

Obituary: James Fraser Stoddart (1942-2024) chemist and nanotechnology pioneer who built molecular machines https://go.nature.com/40MvkI9

Despite the challenges of Storm Éowyn, Laura Gravener defended her PhD thesis successfully today. Congratulations Laura! Euan and I wish you the very best for life after St Andrews. Thanks to Gordon Florence and Sarah Pike for serving as examiners.

Almost time for me to reprise my role as question master for this RSC Top of the Bench event this evening. Best of luck to all four schools competing in tonight’s Regional Final.

Now that 2025 is here, just wanted to highlight the opening we have for an Organic Chemistry Lectureship at St Andrews again. Applications close in about two weeks on 22nd January. All the details in the link. www.vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/V2/ViewVacan...

Deeply saddened to hear yesterday about Sir Fraser Stoddart passing away. For me, from Sheffield to the streets of Chicago, across 35 years, it was always an adventure (though mostly with much less snow). Fraser was a force of nature and leaves an enormous legacy. He will be sorely missed.

As part of our initiative to strengthen and expand Organic Chemistry research in the School of Chemistry @uniofstandrews.bsky.social, we have an opening for a Lecturer in Organic Chemistry. Closing date for applications is 22nd January 2025. Details here: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DKW116/l...

No chemistry for my first post here, just calm, River Tay vibes from my walk last Sunday. “Tay Haze” by Lee Simmons (2024)
