An #orgchem #postdoc position funded by EPSRC is available to work with me and Manuel Müller in the Chemistry Dept of @kingsnmes.bsky.social, along with Prof Craig Butts at the University of Bristol to develop a new generation of foldamer catalysts. tinyurl.com/yc62fa7h #chempostdoc #chemjobs

Another long walk through the capital.

The countdown is on! Registrations close in three days on Friday 27 June, 23:59 GMT. 🔗Register now: foldamers2025.com #conference #foldamers #chemistry #chemsky @kingsnmes.bsky.social @andrecobb.bsky.social @anbismillah.bsky.social

We still have several ECR bursaries for the Foldamers meeting (see foldamers2025.com to register) which pays for conference fees, travel and board! Applicants need to be from or based in the UK but there is still a student rate for those who are not. #chemistry #conference #foldamers #supramolecular

Well it’s 20 years of the Cobb group. Any ideas on how to celebrate!?

There's just one month left to register for the 2025 International Symposium on Foldamers! Join us this autumn in London for three days of cutting-edge science, networking & discovery. 🔗 foldamers2025.com #conference #foldamers #chemistry #chemsky @kingsnmes.bsky.social @andrecobb.bsky.social

There are still some places available for oral/poster presentations for the International Sympsium on Foldamers, and so we have extended the abstract deadline to 16th May. We also have a student rate now! Submit/sign up at www.foldamers2025.com - looking forward to seeing you!

Hadn’t been on one of my long walks for a while.. #LoveLondon

Join The University of Manchester, AstraZeneca, and Syngenta in a fully funded PhD program on Quantum Mechanics, Machine Learning, and Catalyst Design. 📢 Only one week left to apply! Don't miss out! #PhD #Scholarship #QuantumChemistry #MachineLearning #CatalystDesign #CompChem

Early start #BristolSyntheiss

Come along if you’re local! And especially if you’re a tenor!

Had a great time at the Indian Peptide Society meeting. Here is a photo of me with the last slide, shamelessly advertising the Sept 1-3rd Foldamers meeting in London. Please come along! www.foldamers2025.com #chemsky

A niche #Chemistry #ChemSky #ChemEd summary, assigning stereochemical descriptors to axial & equatorial chirality. I know some argue these phrases are meaningless, but they're terms used by synthetic chemists. I know others just hate stereochemistry (you weirdos)! Hope it is useful (& corrected)

We are deeply saddened to share that our friend and colleague Professor Amos B. Smith III has passed away. Amos joined Penn in 1973 and was a mainstay in our organic chemistry division. He recently celebrated 50 years of service to @upenn.edu @pennsas.bsky.social.

Throwback to when it got this cold in my lab at Reading. Perhaps coincidentally, the HPLC hard drive corrupted the same day. #chemsky

Weekend walk. Such a privilege to live in the glorious Chilterns.

Come to our concert if you’re about! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/southwark-...

Cobb Group Christmas outing - did they let me win the first game?? #chemsky

I started this Minecraft cathedral a few years ago, but progress has been slow because I only play it with the boychild and he only ever wants to play in extreme survival mode rather than this creative mode. But it’s getting there. Only the transepts and ambulatory to go…. Maybe another 2 years?

Stop working and feed me now. #cats

A really fun afternoon/evening. Hope everyone watching thought so!

Well this is an incredible effort - useful for anyone thinking of creating a starter pack and wondering if their theme already exists!

Really looking forward to making new connections and enabling some stellar science! #chemsky

I've keeping an eye on all the different chemistry starter packs. Here is the big list so far, in no particular order and badly formatted: #ChemSky #StarterPack #ChemistryStarterPack #Chemistry #Chemists #StartingPack

OK. Anyone in London and free on the 27th Nov evening should come to my choir thing… eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

As with @professor-dave.bsky.social our boy was excluded from primary school. He was just 5 yrs old and they did more damage to him than you could possibly imagine. He had obvious special needs, but they would suppress him by locking him in the headteacher’s office, /1 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tweet is to Twitter as ???? Is to BlueSky. Does it have a term yet? Any suggestions if not? #BlueSky

When you only publish one paper in a particular field

As a journal editor for the RSC, I have to say these starter packs are gold.

📯📯 Chemical Biology starter pack 📯📯 140 PIs & groups posting primary research in chemical biology. Please reskeet (?) & reply to this post if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/KLrTWoj Let's make ChemBioSky even greater again! #realtimechem #FluorescenceFriday #chemsky #chemtwitter #AgentOrange

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

This is our latest group photo from last week. That’s Southwark Cathedral in the background!

@alicepyne.bsky.social To think you were my 1000th follower at the other place and now you’re my 95th!

As some of you may have seen on the other place (aka hell), we were recently awarded a $1M network grant ($ sounds better than £!) for developing Foldamer Research in the UK, but with international opportunities too. Big focus on Early Career Researchers. More news soon! #chemsky

What shall my first post here be? I guess I should show you the full shot from my Profile Pic. Probably the most influential person on my career, my former advisor at Cambridge - Prof Steve V. Ley CBE FRS, who I visited yesterday. #chemsky
