Clearing out my office and came across this much reused folder. You can just make out a scribbled date, 29 Jan 87, for a tutorial with Bruce Gilbert. So it's at least 38 yrs old. Channeling my inner womble, I think I'll keep it a little longer. @professor-dave.bsky.social @unsworthchem.bsky.social

Very happy to announce our latest paper - out today in Chemical Science A very enjoyable collaboration with @roly armRoly Armstrong on Stereoselective Synthesis of Atropisomeric Amides. doi.org/10.1039/D4SC05

🚨Funded PhDs available 🚨 2nd hiring round of the York-Oxford CDT in sustainable synthesis is open. Seeking a talented organic chemist to work with me, Gideon Grogan and Ed Anderson on a synthesis project using enzymes (#28). Inquiries welcome! cshp-cdt.chem.ox.ac.uk

Very happy to announced 2 new papers from the group in the last 24 hours! The first, Divergent Oxidation Reactions of E- and Z-Allylic Primary Alcohols by an Unspecific Peroxygenases, just out, with my amazing collaborator Prof Gideon Grogan onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Whisky night!

Happy to share our News and Views article on a very cool new ring expansion approached developed by Yifeng Chen and coworkers. Written with Jack Wootton, and just out in Nature Chemistry rdcu.be/d0ZAe

Second post - major congratulations to Barbara Radzikowska for passing her viva.👩‍🎓 Thank you to examiners Dr Lianne Willems and Prof Chris Willis. Cosupervised by @unsworthchem.bsky.social . Seriously impressive project on complex alkaloid biosynthesis in Daphniphyllum. 🥳

Delighted to announce publication of the 2nd posthumous paper from the lab of our friend and colleague Prof Paul Clarke. With Saikiran Ravi, Chris Maddocks and Prof Ian Fairlamb We all miss you Paul – hope we have done the work justice pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A...

Need something for my first post over here, so gone for a shameless plug of our JACS paper published earlier this year! Looking forward to interacting with you all again in a better and less angry place. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
