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…

It has been a brilliant day hosting Richard Hopkinson from @uniofleicester at @ICT_Bradford. Really insightful seminar by Richard @hopkinson862 focused on his group's research on developing chemical tools to probe formaldehyde function, reactivity & importance for cell integrity.
Don't miss out on tomorrow's (16/11) ICT Winter Seminar! 🌟Dr Richard Hopkinson @hopkinson862 @uniofleicester takes the stage as our distinguished guest speaker, unravelling insights into 'Chemically focused studies on the biology of Aldehydes.' @UniofBradford @UoBChem @ULifesci
