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

As tributes pour in for Fraser Stoddart from around the world, we add our sympathy and love to Ali and all his family, friends, students and collaborators.
Read his reflection in @ChemistryWorld, on the whirlwind experience of becoming a Nobel laureate

Congratulations to @UCL alumnus Sir @demishassabis on being awarded the #NobelPrize in Chemistry. The @GoogleDeepMind co-founder & CEO, previously based @GatsbyUCL and @UCLIoN, is honoured for using AI to predict the structure of almost all known proteins ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/oct/ucl-…

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.

With 5 days left before we vacate the Research Palace (RP) @NorthwesternU, group members (thank you) are doing a terrific job in leaving the RP spic and span for the next group of researchers. Some amazing rabbits were pulled out of the hat there since Jan 2010. @NUChemistry

The student offices in the Research Palace where so many serious scientific discussions were held and key collaborations forged are being left to @NUChemistry in fine fettle: they also provided space where répartie was practiced on a grand scale @NorthwesternU

No less than 35 group members, along with family and friends, are assembled this evening at the MingHin Cuisine to say their goodbyes to @YuanningFeng @penghaoeins @XuesongChem @BoSong35409644 @LongZHANG90 @LiangFeng_chem. We wish them success in the next chapters of their lives.
