My time in academia will come to an end in two weeks. After 8+ years at @QUT, in September I will start a new journey as a Field Service Engineer with @thermofisher based in Brisbane. I'm incredibly excited!

Has anyone ever wished they could degrade specific sections of a polymer on demand? Probably not, but we did it anyway - Check out Phuong's work on remote-controlled polymer degradation in @ChemSci. Enabled by @QUTmaterials and @ANSTO ! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Main chain selective polymer degradation: controlled by the wavelength and assembly†

The advent of reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) revolutionized polymer chemistry and paved the way for accessing synthetic polymers wit

Who says OzID and UVPD can’t peacefully coexist together on the same mass spec? url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com… Despite how many holes we drill in it, our @ChemistryUoM @Bio21Institute QE instrument keeps going. Another successful collab. with @BlanksbyStephen @bljpoad and Sam Brydon

How diverse is the sn-isomer lipidome? We used DIA and OzID to resolve hundreds of sn-isomer pairs, investigate their diversity across cell lines and identify new lipid species biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #lipids, @MolHorizons @uowresearch, @QUTmaterials, @UniSouthDenmark

Our #ChemSciPicks for this week is from @pagelgroup @BlanksbyStephen @kimgreis! The authors show that carbon-carbon double bond configuration and position can be revealed by 3-pyridylcarbinol ester dervitization and gas-phase IR spectroscopy. Read, free: doi.org/10.1039/D2SC06487A
A graphical abstract image for the Chemical Science Pick of the Week, 15th February 2023. The work shows how lipid derivatisation can be used to determine the double bond position and configuration of fatty acids.

We can pinpoint double bond positions in unsaturated fatty acids using cryo IR coupled to MS! The fatty acid composition of cancer cell lines can be determined and quantified, including 6Z-octadecenoic acid. #AcademicTwitter #TeamMassSpec #MyFirstChemSci doi.org/10.1039/D2SC06487A
