A massive congratulations to Dr. Luke Britton who has successfully defended his PhD thesis this week! All the best to Luke in his new job working with Evonetix in Cambridge. Thank you also to Luke’s assessors, Dr. Ben Bhawal and Dr. Nick Bampos from the University of Cambridge.

Super excited to share my Schlenk Line tutorial which is now online in @Orgmet_ACS 🥳 I hope that this tutorial will be a helpful resource to anyone performing or teaching air- and moisture-sensitive techniques! #RealTimeChem #ChemEd #SchlenkLine pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

❗️Another week, another PhD student has come to my office in tears as they can’t afford to live in London on £18k. And this is before the price cap increase. @UKRI_News this time - can I ask what you are doing to support the next-generation so there is a next-generation?! Pls RT

I see so many undergrads and postgrads use this site as a resource! Next stop 1 million 👀
Today the Schlenk Line Survival Guide passed 200,000 views 🥳 Huge thanks to everyone who has shared the resource with their colleagues and students! I have now added a troubleshooting page to address common Schlenk line problems and how to fix them! schlenklinesurvivalguide.com…

Sir Edmund chaired the defense of my PhD thesis in 1968. When I left Edinburgh for Canada his advice was “tackle a big problem.” Many believe he should have shared the 1937 Nobel Prize with Sir Norman Haworth for their work on the synthesis of Vitamin C. @EdinburghChem
A few weeks ago, my grandma mentioned I was related to a chemist. Turns out - it was Sir Edmund Hirst, who was an pretty incredible chemist and the first Chair of Organic Chemistry at @EdinburghChem, where I’m doing my PhD. It’s a weirdly small world 🌍

He contributed to the first synthesis of Vitamin C and determined the structures of many carbohydrates. I’m not sure how he would feel about my very Schlenk-y inorganic research.... 😬

Before finding a much nicer crystal, we found this cool feather shaped crystal 🪶🪶✨#realtimechem
