Sara (@sara_ycho) and Liam (@Liam0324) from our Group (and Cristina from @RichardDoveston Group) decided to jump out of a plane at 14,000 ft on Saturday! We promise it's not a routine group initiation! 😅

Huge thanks to the @RSC_CBBG for organising a fantastic forum at Burlington House in London on Friday. We loved catching up with the #chembio community alongside members of the @HodgUoL and @RichardDoveston Groups from @LeicStructBio and @Leicesterchem. Great science on display!

Publication time! A change from my recent baking related posts 😆 Delighted to have my work published in @ACSMedChemLett. Was putting this together whilst preparing for the final stages of @BritishBakeOff. Rewarding in a very different way 😂 #chemtwitter pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
