I will be back in Scotland during the first week of April, giving some talks in Glasgow and St. Andrews.  The general public talk is non-technical and should be accessible to anyone who likes a little bit of science and some (hopefully) funny stories. The technical talk is about the invention of chemistry to access molecules that can be tested as medicines.  If you are interested in either please come along….. and please stay to say hello at the end.   Tues April 1, 5:30pm: St Andrews University, General Public Talk. Pathways in discovery and in life; From Bellshill to the US to the Nobel Prize (see attached flyer). Open to all Wed April 2, 2pm: St Andrews University, Technical Talk. The Development of Asymmetric Organocatalysis and Metallaphotoredox. (Booth Lecture Theatre, Medical and Biological Sciences Building). Open to all Thurs April 3, 5:30pm: Glasgow, Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians. General Public Talk. Pathways in discovery and in life; From Bellshill to the US to the Nobel Prize. Open to all

I am very sad to learn of the passing of my mentor, Sir Fraser. His kindness, and unwavering support shaped my career. I will always remember him. He will be missed! Rest in peace, Sir Fraser!

Cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (CD-MOFs) making humanity think beautifully by introducing state-of-the-art science (slow & controlled release of skin care additives) into an industry in need of change. Go Noble Panacea with CD-MOFs = OSMVs = Organic SupraMolecular Vessels.
Noble Panacea product launch at the Bund of Shanghai last night with @sirfrasersays and @zhichang_liu. Such an exquisite event which brought science nerd and fashion influencers together!

This year’s chemistry laureates Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model, AlphaFold2, to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures. Check out two examples of protein structures determined using AlphaFold2. First up, a bacterial enzyme that causes antibiotic resistance. The structure is important for discovering ways of preventing antibiotic resistance. Animation: ©Terezia Kovalova/The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences #NobelPrize
