How our Latvian dinner became all a sudden very dramatic… maybe not the best trick to impress a bunch of chemists 🤣 #ChemSky

Fantastic time at the 14th Walden Symposium in Riga! Honoured to present our chemistry alongside such a prestigious line-up. Huge thanks to Edgars Suna & team for the flawless organisation! Riga is such an amazing place! #WaldenSymposium #Chemistry #Riga #ChemSky

On Monday we will be zapping ⚡️ F atoms!

Another week, another country to ⚡️ electrify ⚡️ - on my way to #Riga and #Latvia for the infamous #Walden symposium! #ChemWithoutBorder #ChemSky

⚡️ Excited to head to #Riga for the 14th Paul Walden Symposium! I’ll share some of our latest (maybe even unpublished) #UniofGreenwich work. Thanks to Edgars Suna for the kind invite. From seeing the Walden inversion as a student to now speaking at the Symposium: the loop feels closed. #ChemSky ⚡️

⚡️ It’s great to share chemistry, but it’s even better to meet colleagues and friends for a viva! Thanks Amanda, Gadi, Marta, Bas, @chrisslootweg.bsky.social, Sonja, @tnoel82.bsky.social, Tati & Ron for the inspiring discussions. Brilliant, kind colleagues with huge ground for collaboration! #ChemSky

⚡️ Great to visit #SygnatureDiscovery last week and share our latest electrochemistry work from #UoGreenwich! Inspiring chats with their brilliant scientists, and yes, sometimes I even develop transformations industry actually finds useful 😉 Thanks Jonathan Golec & team! #ChemSky

Why are most grants’ deadlines in August and September…

Stirring: friend or foe? Huang et al.: 329 reactions → stirring made little difference. Cherepanova et al.: stirrers can cause irreproducibility by vial position. Time to rethink the humble stir bar. doi.org/10.1021/jacs... #ChemSky

🔬 #Stir or not to stir? A new study (Huang et al. www.thieme-connect.de/products/ejo...) tested 329 reactions and found almost no difference in yield between stirred and unstirred conditions, even at kilo scale and for eChem! ⚡ Maybe not every flask needs to be whirring away! #ChemSky

⚡ Interested in zapping molecules? Our lab is expanding collaboration horizons and training the next generation of electrosynthetic chemists. European researchers can even join us through funded Erasmus+ research visits. 🌍🔬 Get in touch, we’d love to connect! #ChemSky

#Amsterdam, get ready to be electrified ⚡! I’ll be at the Uni of Amsterdam on Sept 15–16, sharing our latest results from #UniofGreenwich (including some unpublished data 👀). Swing by if you’re around! #ChemSky

Almost no chemistry this weekend! But a lot of super cool #Fringe shows in #Edinburgh #Scotland #Break

Little weekend trip to #Belgium to see my parents. In Belgium you’re officially « old » when you go to the #chocolate shop and decide to pick your chocolates one by one and create a massive queue behind you. Well… I am officially that guy now 🤣

Farewell to Caterina Campinoti from The uni of Pisa🇮🇹 , a brilliant PhD student & wonderful guest in our lab! She brought science, smiles & picked up a UK survival skill: pizza-making 🍕⚡️ She’ll be missed! Get in touch if you’d like to intern too! #ChemSky

When you have meetings with USA and Asia on the same day… that means you get to work at 7am and don’t leave before 7pm 😅 #WelcomeToMonday

That’s one hour after landing from USA with one hour of sleep 😅 and a flock of young PhDs happy that I made it on time 🤣 #ChemSky

A new office tag as a gift from Jamie. He’s not wrong though… welcome to academia 🤣#ChemSky

Another strike for the ⚡ElectraTeam! ⚡️ Today, @myrl.bsky.social, Jamie Walsh, and @ckechem.bsky.social officially join the ranks of PhD graduates, a brilliant trio of scientists who’ve each left their mark on the lab (and possibly the electrasyns too). #ChemSky

Leaving the #GordonConf and I feel like I’ve reached a milestone in my life. Forget the science! After all these years, I have finally met Jon Njardarson (aka the "top 200" poster guy), @kuhokie42.bsky.social,Dave Martin, @bagphos.bsky.social, Christo Sevov and @camalapit.bsky.social ! 😃 #ChemSky

I am having such a great time at the #GRC! Super great talks and science! Now… I am debating if I should embed a mysterious Irish surprise in my talk for tomorrow 🤔🤣 #ChemSky

My morning started well… I might be Belgian… but I don’t think I am gifted at making waffles 😅. #ChemSky #GRC #BreakfastFail

The perks of the job! 😎😀! #Boston #ChemSky

Just from the short bus ride from the airport, I can tell that the #GordonConf chemists’ concentration is increasing rapidly at the @embassysuites.bsky.social 🤣#ChemSky

About to land in Boston, and heading to RI tomorrow! I am really getting excited about this #GRC conference! It's also my first #GRC ever 😀 #ChemSky

I am super excited to be flying to Boston and RI next week to attend the #GRC at #BryantUniv! Finally a chance to meet with the US Chem community! Oh yes, and I have a few unpublished ⚡️ surprises ⚡️ for the occasion! (Aka don’t scoop us 😀🙏) #ChemSky

The less glamorous side of eChem… #ChemSky

Great to share some of our electrifying research from #UniofGreenwich at Chemistry for the Future in #Pisa ⚡️ An amazing PhD-led conference—brilliant science, collaboration ideas, sun, and food! 🇮🇹 Grazie! #ChemSky #GreenChem #eChem

Good food, good people and good science! #Pisa 😎 #ChemSky

On the road again! Early morning in Gatwick, on my way to sunny Pisa! Pretty ⚡️ excited ⚡️ #ChemSky

So glad I didn’t skip these cutting classes in kindergarten! It finally became useful to make electrodes. #ChemSky

⚡️Conall missed so much our Italian PhD visitor that he went all the way to 🇮🇹 where he is presenting our collaborative work with #GSK at #ESMEC2025 in Urbino. A proud moment for our lab at the #UniofGreenwich, demonstrating how electrochemistry can deliver scalable solutions for synthesis. #ChemSky

Farewell to Daniel, heading back to the Uni or Lisbon after his time in our lab! A talented chemist, picky foodie, and now the reason everyone wants to visit Lisbon 🇵🇹 Science crosses borders — and builds lasting collaborations. #RealTimeChem #Electrosynthesis #GreenChem

Farewell Federico (pictured left with his new lab friends) ⚡️ After months in our lab #UniofGreenwich, he’s heading back to the Uni of Perugia. A brilliant chemist & fantastic lab mate! Electrochemistry forges bonds — and friendships Fancy a visit? DM us! #ChemSky

New gift for the lab: an ammonite8 flow eChem cell! ⚡️ Time to electrolyse grams of compounds now 😎 #UniofGreenwich #NewToy #ChemSky

Inspiring talk today at #UniofGreenwich by Prof Antimo Gioiello! From steroid chemistry to flow-enabled drug discovery — brilliant science and energy. We’re definitely going with the flow now! 🧪⚡ #ChemSky #FlowChemistry #MedicinalChemistry #DrugDiscovery #GreenwichScience

Third ⚡️PhD viva⚡️ in two months for our group! Well done @ckechem.bsky.social!!!! (And well done for surviving the intense grilling by Prof Janine Cossy 🤣!) #ChemSky

Off to Limerick for our DualFlow meeting! Green hydrogen and medicine from one flow battery? Yes — and it’s working. Proud to share new electrotransformations from #UniofGreenwich with our amazing EU/UK collaborators. Science moves with teamwork. #HorizonEu #ChemSky

Story of my life - Day 1 :« yaaay this is such a nifty new reactions and it works so well! » - A couple of months later: « why is the mechanism not working like we expected? Why do we have so many unexpected results? Why is it not working on obvious substrates ?! » 🤣😅

Little issue of the month… I am trying to make a compound and I keep failing at repeating a previous procedure published in early 2010. I emailed the authors without success… then I find a good old German paper from the 60’s saying that these compounds decompose are you try to isolate them… #ChemSky

Today, at the #UniOfGreenwich, I have the honour to host a fantastic chemist but also an amazing friend: @guillaumedebo.bsky.social! Fascinating to see what happens when you pull on molecules! Fun fact: we were PhD-mates in Belgium in the same lab😀. #ChemSky

I have no shame… so I jump on the trend! #BlueSky #ChatGPT #Trend 🤣

Fluorothioformates—curious, underexplored, and now accessible! ⚡️ A simple electrochemical method ⚡️makes these functional groups accessible to all chemists. Will this "spark" new reactivity? We hope so! By Feba Pulikkottil at #UniofGreenwich! #ChemSky 🔗 doi.org/10.1021/acs....

Just wrapping up two days of great science at the Bristol (Electro)synthesis meeting. But let’s be honest, even if the talks were great, the best remains the coffee breaks and dinners laughters 🤣 @gemcrisenza.bsky.social #ChemSky

I just had Conall, a first year PhD student signing up to give a talk by « mistake » instead of poster at the Bristol Electrosynthesis Meeting! Well he aced it! #Proud #UniOfGreenwich #Bristol #ChemSky
