Only one month left to register for the best UK polymer conference! #chemsky

Come to RAPS in @ucl.ac.uk it's a great conference for anyone interested in polymer science. Designed for early career scientists to make new friends and share amazing science. #chemsky 🧪

We have a 1 year PDRA position available in our lab to work in the areas of #organometallic #chemistry, #catalysis and #polymer #synthesis/recycling. @chemjobber.bsky.social @standreschem.bsky.social Reposts appreciated. More details here www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMT735/r....

Great to see @rapsgroup.bsky.social on here! Give them a follow for details on the best early career polymer conference! #ChemSky

This was fun to write after reading some cool chemistry published in the journals. #chemsky

Really fun to talk to the year 10s at Royal High in Bath about plastics and solar energy. Great to inspire future chemists! Had a nice ice cream on the way home as well! Bath in the sun is such a pretty place.

Thanks for the invitation! Really fun to share some of our work on photocatalytic polymers.

🧪Come join us for a PhD making and studying functional molecular capsules! We have a fully funded position (UK home fees eligible only) available in the group to start in September 2025 (start date is flexible). Links 👇 www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/chem... www.findaphd.com/phds/project... #chemsky

Flagging for #ChemSky and 🧪

We have unveiled this amazing picture of the iconic Old Joe clocktower by School alumnus Lucy Walker, drawn using molecules, in the foyer of our new home the Molecular Sciences Building #chemsky

New paper from the Kim lab! #ChemSky

📣We have an open PhD position on next-gen photocatalytic polymers for sustainable synthesis in @uobchemistry.bsky.social 🌞Are you interested in using light for organic synthesis❓ 🧪Do you want to join a growing lab in a new building❓ #ChemSky #chemjob Reposts appreciated tinyurl.com/ckvukmea

A new chiral macrocycle which shows three-way switching of its chiroptical properties out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social Work by @denishartmann.bsky.social in TAB Lab & fantastic collaborators at Durham University and @zwijcompchem.bsky.social at @uclchemistry.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/anie...

Congratulations to Dr Julian Heuer, who graduated in December. He is the final PhD from my group in @mpip-mainz.mpg.de and the landfester department. #Chemsky check out a thread of Julian's published work!

Ever wanted to know which of the UK "premium" supermarkets has the best mince pie? Well, floor 2 of the Molecular Sciences Building @uobchemistry.bsky.social has been doing the hard graft this week to answer that question. The clear winner is M&S!

Congratulations to Seunghyeon Kim (@seunghyeonkim.bsky.social) on his new position as an Assistant Professor at DGIST S. Korea. I couldn't have managed the group in Germany without him! He is a fantastic scientist and will be a great academic. #chemsky Here is a thread of his work at MPIP.

Exciting things to come from this new lab! Prof. Kim does elegant work analyzing reaction mechanisms and transport phenomena and students will greatly benefit from learning from him! His latest paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Congrats to DGIST on an excellent hiring decision.

Thrilled to announce that I will be joining the Dept. of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST 🇰🇷 as an Assistant Professor in Feb 2025. Deeply grateful to my mentors (@sikeslab.bsky.social Prof. Landfester @ctjferguson.bsky.social) for their invaluable guidance and support throughout this journey.

Excited to be sharing my first post to announce my first first author paper! So happy with all these firsts! In the paper we explore functional groups from total, to visible and finally accessible groups that can actually be utilised for surface functionalization. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Congratulations to Rong Li for defending her PhD last week🎉🎉🎉 Rong is the second PhD student from my group in Germany, and her PhD was in responsive polymer photocatalysts. She is a fantastic scientist and was a pleasure to work with. Here is a summary of her impressive published work. #chemsky

I see your immediate vacancy and call with one of my own! Immediately available PhD studentship (Home fees & stipend) on a MOF/polymers/neutrons/computational project with ISIS, Cardiff and the Ada Lovelace Centre. Original student unable to start so post re-advertised. #ChemSky spread the word!

Check out our latest paper in angewandte This was some of the last work Kai Zhang led. We investigated how CTFs can be used for toluene oxidation. Congratulations to the team from the Landfester Department in mpi_polymer and the team at Fudan University onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I don't think any of the RSC journals are on here yet so I will share the blog post on our recent paper in RSC Applied Polymers. I didn't like being in front of the camera but I think it's important to share research as widely as possible. blogs.rsc.org/lp/2024/02/1...

It was really fun to talk in Durham about some of our recent work on photocatalytic polymers. Really engaging discussions in a beautiful city. Thanks to Clare Mahon for hosting :)

Interesting present from a colleague in Birmingham. Let's see how much writing this powers!

Might have lost my cat for a while, until he opened his eyes.....

Congratulations to Dr. Thomas Kuckhoff from the Landfester Department at mpi_polymer who passed his PhD defence on designing photocatalytic materials by merging macromolecules with small molecular photocatalysts. Thomas is the first PhD from my group in Germany so I am rather proud!!!
