Some fantastic news! Julie Macleod has just had her Crystal Violet paper published in Nature Chemistry after a very long wait. It is a novel and simple method for testing for hidden catalysis. Congratulations Julie! Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #chemistry #chemsky

Here is Luke getting his prize from our Head of School Jason Love! Luke then gave a fantastic talk on his career up to this point and his work during his PhD. Thank you all who attended! #chemistry #chemsky

Congratulations to our former PhD student Luke Britton who is being awarded the Norma and Fraser Stoddart Prize today. He will be giving a talk today at 1500 in T250 in the Joseph Black Building we hope to see you there! #chemistry #chemsky

We would like to wish all the best to Jason our PGT student who has just finished his time in the lab. Thanks for being so much fun to work with and all your hard work! #chemsky #chemistry

Congratulations to Dr Adrián Moreno González who passed his PhD viva recently. Adrian has been with the group for years and will be missed, we would like to wish him the best of luck. Thank you to Dr Andres Garcia-Dominguez and Dr Marina Uzelac for their insightful discussions for the viva.

Fantastic news! Dom's @domrwillcox.bsky.social review on Group 13 exchange and transborylation has just received 10 citations. Congratulations Dom! www.beilstein-journals.org/bjoc/article...

Fantastic to see such a great turnout for Prof Steve Thomas' Inaugural lecture last week including lots of past Thomas Group members. Steve's lecture 'Irn Brus & Pharma Violets' discussed iron & other earth-abundant metal catalysis in a fun & engaging way, congrats Steve! @spthomasgroup.bsky.social

Congratulations to our former group member Luke Britton on being awarded the prestigious Stoddart Prize for his work in his PhD and the university community!

Looking forward to Prof Stephen Thomas's inaugural lecture this Friday, "Iron Brews and Pharma Violets", there may even be some practical demonstrations too.

Prof Mike Ingleson thoroughly enjoyed presenting at the ICMGSC 2025 on Friday and would like to thank the organising committee and the @rsc.org.

In Beilstein Talks this week Professor Dennis Hall will be presenting his group's research on boron heterocycles in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. It will be held on February 13th 5-6 pm CET and you can register at the link below! www.beilstein-institut.de/en/talks/org...
