I’m excited to reveal that I’ve been awarded a #SustainableLabs Grant by @roysocchem!
My project will explore the use of second hand equipment in my lab for improved sustainability and reduced cost. I am keen to see what comes of this and other projects!

Come join my new research group for a PhD at the Unviersity of Liverpool! We are going to make some of the most advanced polymer arcitectures to date, exploring their prospective applications and interactions with biology. Travel to Canada/Spain included! findaphd.com/phds/project/hi…
As a lifelong fan of @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN's Metal Gear franchise of stealth games, I am thrilled that my cover art for our most recent paper between @MannersResearch and @DrWillerth on precision stealth polymer nanofibers 🥢 has made one of the covers of @ChemEurJ! 📕 (1/3)
Just like the humble cardboard box📦allowed you to sneak around undetected in the games, the 'stealthy' coating enables precision polymer nanofibers to avoid being destroyed by the immune system, 'sneaking' around the body to deliver drugs or diagnostics (2/3)
View the cover here: chemistry-europe.onlinelibra…. A huge thanks to everyone I worked with at @BristolChem and @UVicScience who made this work possible. You can see more articles from the Ian Manners Memorial Collection at: chemistry-europe.onlinelibra… Happy Friday! (3/3)
Interested in #Stealth #Polymers? Our collaborative work between the @MannersResearch and @DrWillerth groups on the #Synthesis, #CDSA, and Cellular Interactions of Precision Stealth #Nanofibers made via PET-RAFT #Polymerization is out now in @ChemEurJ ! chemistry-europe.onlinelibra…

Come and join my new group! We have two funded PhD positions available in the areas of supramolecular chemistry and polymer nanotechnology. See fieldengroup.net/ for more details! RT much appreciated!
A really interesting insight into the backgrounds of Nobel Prize winners... We still have a long way to go before we have equal opportunities for all in society.
There is still time to register for our memorial symposium for Prof. Ian Manners - we have extended the registration deadline to August 16th. We also have a limited number of $100 travel bursaries for those able to make it to UVic in person. Hopefully see you there!
We will be hosting a memorial symposium for my former PI, Prof. Ian Manners (@MannersResearch) at @uvic on August 23rd. You can register for free for this hybrid event at the following link: forms.office.com/r/6wDLk709K… (Deadline 9th August). Please share! Thanks😊 #CDSA #MainGroup

Our work on the mechanism of action of antibacterial nanofibers is out now in @J_A_C_S. A bittersweet moment for us in the Manners group as we dedicate this paper to the big man himself - this was one of the last papers he submitted before he passed. You'll be missed, Ian!
Check out our recent work by Hayley on the mechanism of action of antibacterial PFTMC-b-PDMAEMA nanoparticles made using living CDSA, just published in @J_A_C_S!

Such a huge loss to the world, taken before his time.
I owe so much to him. He made me a better scientist, and a better person. He was a true scientist, inquisitive about everything, so supportive, and one of the kindest, most down to earth academics I’ve ever met.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of UVic chemistry professor Ian Manners earlier this week. Ian was a world-leading scientist and an outstanding member of our Faculty, and will be profoundly missed. ow.ly/6Vi850QgE4j
His legacy will live on in the many, many alumni he has mentored over the years. We’ll do our best to make you proud, Ian.

The 2023 #NobelPrize in #Chemistry was awarded to Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus, and Alexei Ekimov for their groundbreaking work on quantum dots. These tiny marvels hold the promise of revolutionizing applications from electronics to medicine. 🏆🧪✨
The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots, small particles with big colours.

Delivering medicine around the body is a big challenge. In a new @BioMaterSci paper, the @MannersResearch & @DrWillerth labs test their precision nanofiber delivery system in different conditions. End result? 50% more DNA delivered to brain cancer cells!

I am very excited for this new chapter to begin, and for all the opportunities that it will hopefully create!
Excited to announce that I will be co-leading our #nanotherapeutics cluster with @MannersResearch - looking forward to working with @Street_Research

absolutley love this cartoon! Thanks @ErrantScience for making it 😃📨📨
Here’s an extra @RoySocChem cartoon we drew for #RSCPoster #RSCChemBio first prize winner @Street_Research, go look at their poster and ask them questions about nanofiber deliveries
I'm not sure if anyone really cares, but if you would like to, you can read about my background and career choices in this thread! 😅
I am looking forward to taking over the @RealSci_Nano twitter account next week! I'll be talking about nanomedicine, my research, and my career journey, mixed in with some photos of my daily life on Vancouver Island - stay tuned! 😀

Oh look what just dropped!
It's the conversation between @Street_Research & @MySci_PK 🥳
Steve will tweet from this account next week and we cant wait!
