Purple pride goes global! 💜 Chair @omarfarha.bsky.social is taking #NUChemistry energy beyond campus — building collaborations, celebrating innovation, and inspiring connections. 📸 Tag @nuchemistry.bsky.social to join the fun!

Tomorrow! 🎉 Prof. Richard Kaner (UCLA) joins #NorthwesternChemistry to receive the 2025 Fred Basolo Medal hosted by @omarfarha.bsky.social Don’t miss his talk: “Energy Storage and Other Applications of Graphene.” - 4:30 p.m. | Tech LR3 #InorganicChemistry #EnergyStorage

#NobelPrize week starts tomorrow & the #chemnobel is Wednesday… used to be so much Nobel chat on Tw*tter, but that is not replicated here, alas. Anyway, for the record, I think MOFs will win at some point (maybe this year maybe not). Balasubramanian & Klenerman a good bet for next-gen sequencing too

Show your NU Chemistry pride! 💜🧪 The Fall Merch Shop is open through Oct 24—with fan favorites and new fall styles. 🎁 Perfect holiday gifts for Wildcats everywhere! 👉 bit.ly/NUChemMerch

I had a wonderful time in Singapore. Thank you to to NTU and prof. Ling and team for hosting the AMIC25. Looking forward to AMIC26!

I am surprised that few think in&out is good. Love that place!!!! My first stop when I go to California.

Congratulations to Mercouri Kanatzidis on receiving the American Association for Crystal Growth Award! 🎉 This honor recognizes his outstanding contributions to crystal growth and epitaxy. #FacultyExcellence #CrystalGrowth #AACG

🎓 It’s Graduation Weekend at #NUChemistry! Our PhDs are being hooded. Our undergraduates are crossing the stage. Together, they make up the newest class of brilliant #chemists—ready to change the world and make an #NUChemImpact! 🌎⚗️💜 Congrats to all the #NU2025 grads!

Congratulations Mercouri Kanatzidis, named the 2026 William H. Nichols Medal Award Winner by New York chapter of @acs.org! The #NicholsMedal honors original, impactful chemistry research. #FacultyExcellence #NUChemImpact #ACS

Thanks @omarfarha.bsky.social for starting off our Research Impact series with your lab’s work—chemistry in action for the military and beyond!

Thanks to Dr. Rolanda J. Wilkerson from @procterandgambel.bsky.social for joining us yesterday for the 2025 Mark A. Ratner Series of Scholars! She shared her journey as a cosmetic chemist—and how science, passion, and purpose can shape a career. #CosmeticChemistry #WomenInSTEM

Can’t forget the outtakes from the evening’s celebration! 🎉📸 @nlkproteomics.bsky.social @omarfarha.bsky.social @iinanonu.bsky.social

🎉Congrats to Dayne Swearer, named to C&EN's Talented 12! He’s harnessing “hot” electrons to power cleaner chemical reactions—offering a fossil-free path to hydrogen & ammonia. #CENT12 #FacultyExcellence Discover more: bit.ly/SwearerCENT12 @cenmag.bsky.social‬ \ @dayneswearer.bsky.social‬

A truly special night honoring a pioneer in nanotech and a visionary in chemistry! ✨ Current and former members of #NUChem came together to celebrate Prof. Chad Mirkin as he received the prestigious Willard Gibbs Award from Chicago @acs.org @iinanonu.bsky.social | @omarfarha.bsky.social .

Hey!! Departing the Bad Place recently, @omarfarha.bsky.social slipped into Bluesky quietly, but I'm only too happy to suggest he deserves a strong #ChemSky welcome! 🤗

I was asked to mention some that most people don’t know about me. Ok, I am a Liverpool fan!

Politics is not my focus. I am a scientist, and I take full pride in everything I've contributed to this country. When no other nation believed in me, this one did. I will always love and appreciate for this country.

My nephews and nieces are the best. Love you all!

Sunday at #ACSSpring2025 (Pt. 2): More #NUChemistry research including #attosecond #spectroscopy #nanoparticles #thermoelectrics #ions #chemistry

During Ramadan, I miss mom so much. She used make me calm when stressed. May she rest in peace.

I am so lucky to have the best staff @nuchemistry.bsky.social

Congratulations to the 2024 Ryan Fellows Award Winners. @nuchemistry.bsky.social @omarfarha.bsky.social @dayneswearer.bsky.social

It is going to be fun to host one of my dearest friend, Dr. kaafarani. One of the most supportive, trustworthy, accomplished, but more importantly humble scientists I know. Love him!

I moved from X to this platform with more the 10K followers. Follow me and show X we can do it. I will only talk science :) and no politics 🤷‍♂️ but still 👏. Let reach 10K followers and show X it can be done!

With great colleagues and guests @shustovalab.bsky.social

The labs of @omarfarha.bsky.social and Vinayak Dravid join forces with Numat in "The Road Ahead for Metal–Organic Frameworks: Current Landscape, Challenges, and Future Prospects." Explore the future of #MOF science in this ACS Nano Perspective! ➡️ bit.ly/4auQbTr

Kicking off 2025 with a publication in Chem! We report a new MOF for CO2 capture, tackling emissions that drive climate change. Critical work as 2024 was the warmest year ever! Grateful to collaborate with @omarfarha.bsky.social & Sihai here: lnkd.in/eMbbZBUh @cebcambridge.bsky.social

2024 has been a challenging year ending with a huge loss of Sir Fraser Stoddart. He was a colleague, mentor, but more importantly a friend. I am so lucky to have our labs on the same floor @nuchemistry.bsky.social and enjoyed every conversation we had on that floor. May he Rest In Peace 🙏🏻.

As the chair of @nuchemistry.bsky.social I wish you all a happiest new year.

To my Christmas friends, Merry Christmas Eve. Hope 2025 will be a prosperous and peaceful year for all of us 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very excited that my team is getting involved in capturing and up-cycling of micro plastics. Did you know your washer and dryer need better filters.

@cathoyle.bsky.social happy SCJ is in for the flight of microplatiscs

Nice to spend time with my students.

@cathoyle.bsky.social welcome and let’s do good for the world
