Very pleased to now be Dr Kane 🎉 a dramatic close to an incredible 3.5 years in the Watson lab, and it was great to meet @VarinderAggar11 in the process to talk all things boron 🧪
Congratulations to our Boron Boii @KaneACB for passing his viva today and becoming Dr. Bastick! A traditional plunge into the sea marks the end of a great 3.5 years - not a bad effort for a Natural Scientist 😉
Many thanks to @VarinderAggar11 and @ADS10_StAndrews for examining!

UK exit polls: bing bong, here’s the prime minister
US exit polls: is it better to be loved or feared? Give your answer to the nearest cubit

BREAKING NEWS: The 2024 Noble Prize for Peace has been awarded to Drake and Kendrick Lamar, for musical methods of conflict resolution. The UN has predicted that by 2050, most international conflicts will be resolved with diss tracks in place of military force.

The 2024 Noble Prize in physics has been awarded to Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie for the Barbenheimer effect. This phenomenon, involving the superposition of two very attractive people, allows physics to become interesting, a state which is otherwise spin-forbidden.

The current utility and future potential of multiborylated alkanes
nature.com/articles/s41570-0…
A new Review article from @KaneACB @D_Roberts95 and Allan Watson (@watson_group) at @StAndrewsChem
ALT There has been an accelerating trend to prepare multiborylated alkanes that possess two or more C(sp3)–B bonds but many of these compounds currently offer limited downstream synthetic value
Implicit or explicit? That really is the question (for the synthetic potential of multiborylated alkanes), out now in @NaturePortfolio @NatRevChem (!)
Huge thanks @allanjbwatson and @D_Roberts95 for the support on this ‘boron behemoth’ @watson_group

At last settling the debate that med chemists are more aggressive than natural product & methodology chemists

Excited to share that I've received funding from the RSC Inclusion and Diversity Fund to run a series of podcasts aimed primarily at the LGBTQIA+ STEM community. Please share this as widely as possible as I'm looking for podcast interviewees!!

In this @J_A_C_S study led by Alina, we explore the Geraniline family of molecules. We evaluate fascinating planar chirality and synthetic applications of these terpenoid derivatives. Many thanks go to Matt, Chelsey, and Nuro.

My research on Alkenylidene Homologation, enabled by SNV mechanism, is now officially online @Nature! Thrilled to demonstrate how colorful🌈🌈🌈, fully-substituted cross-conjugated polyenes can be synthesized at will. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
People in England complaining about public transport, meanwhile @StagecoachEScot is capable of time travel
Now fully PhD gowned up featuring @TheJohnstonLab @ADS_GroupStA (and a computational imposter..) while @watson_group were on the grind at the Perkin meeting 🧪 Happy to be continuing the current group’s current tradition of donning @john_mcguff’s tartan, the man himself next!

A new element makes its way into the Watson Group repertoire!
Check out our first foray into the world of germanium in the context of CuAAC chemistry, in collaboration with @BurleyResearch!
The pre-print is available here on @ChemRxiv:
