A promotional image for the upcoming Chemical Science symposium, on the subject of imaging, biosensing and diagnostics. The image shows a black background and on the right hand side is a stylised image of an unwanted cell with dendritic extensions, shown in red. It has a purple targeting reticule showing that it is being aimed at for treatment. Surrounding the red cell are a number of blue cells, conveying selective targeting. On the left hand side of the image is text for the Royal Society of Chemistry, along with the logo of the society, which is a stylised “C”. Other text states “Chemical Science symposium, 18-19 November 2025, London, UK” and “Save the date”.

and for today... here is some previous cover art! I had to hide this in case of any infringements, but I was pretty proud of our take on an "NME" magazine cover. A fair bit of effort that I had to leave out 😅 A few easter-eggs for the #blink-182 #sum41 #theclash fans in the #chemsky community! 😃
