I’m happy to share that 2 weeks ago I defended my PhD thesis at the @edinburghchem.bsky.social! Thanks to Julien Michel and @pstansfeld.bsky.social for a lovely viva. Massive thanks also to the best PhD supervisor and mentor @ppxasjsm.bsky.social 🫶🏼

Such a pleasure to have the opportunity to teach at the very summer school I attended as a first-year PhD student 3 years ago 🤩 Thanks to @colegroupncl.bsky.social, @matteodegiacomi.bsky.social & @ppxasjsm.bsky.social for letting me tag along ☺️

Go check out our preprint on simulations of CutC on ChemRxiv! Marko Hanževački has done great work on this and it’s always a pleasure to work with him and @adrianmulholla1.bsky.social 🚀 chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

I had a great time presenting at the Tech me out / Bug battle 101 event of Pint of Science earlier this week! Thanks for the organisers for having me and thanks everyone who made it to the event and for asking really good questions. Hope to do it again in the future! #pint25

Physics, chemistry and biology walk into a bar… and you get my #pint25 talk! Come along to Leith Depot in Edinburgh to find out how we might find sidekicks for superbug-fighting antibiotics 🦸🏻‍♀️👀 Tickets here: tinyurl.com/39cthcn4

Can we do alchemistry with zinc? That’s the question we set out to answer in our paper tinyurl.com/j88h4n73. where we calculated binding free energies (RBFE) of known inhibitors with cross-class inhibition against serine- and metallo-β-lactamases, using open-source RBFE methods and metal models.
