Congratulations to Liam (right), who successfully defended his Masters thesis on the photoreactivity of copper(I) complexes! It was great having you in the @hollandlab.bsky.social

Ian and Liam’s constant giggling reminded me of Beavis and Butt-head. I think the resemblance is clear to see…

I’m sure this will be an awesome event! Makes me wish I had spent some time recently making metal-carbon bonds…
Looking forward to welcoming you next week in Paris!
