This summer we welcomed 3 fantastic undergraduate students into the lab 🧪
We wish them the very best of luck going into their 4th year and thank them for all their hard work and contributions - especially the baked goods!

The GLJ-AGD group may be a hard-working chemistry research group… but we’re not just that. 🎨
We swapped pipettes for paintbrushes at Doodles - even chemists need a creative outlet! 🧪

Well done to Seren Hewer (PhD) for reaching the University Final of #3MT with her talk "I Can Si Clearly Now", diving into the world of silicon chemistry and reaction monitoring (which is anything but elemental) - after winning the People's Choice award at both the School and College heats. 🧪🎉

Blink and you'll miss it - but the judges didn't!
@annabelflook.bsky.social won Best Synthesis Talk at the Joseph Black Conference for her brilliant work on capturing rapid reactions.

A huge shoutout to Chen Li for presenting some exquisite and exciting boron chemistry — fantastic work all around!

Boron PhD students Mauno Lius & Chen Li had a great time presenting posters at the @rsc.org Physical Organic Chemistry Interest group Postgrad meeting at @astra-zeneca.bsky.social Macclesfield on Friday. Congratulations also go to Chen for winning the best poster prize! @lloydjonesgroup.bsky.social

Yesterday Dr Andres Garcia-Dominguez delivered a standout talk at the St Andrews Centre of Magnetic Resonance.

Combining clever pulse sequences with sharp mechanistic thinking, he showed how NMR can support and challenge computation!

Looking forward to it!
Both Pedrou Helou de Oliveira and Annabel Flook (PhD students) will be presenting their work at the RSC Physical Organic Chemistry Postgraduate Meeting!

Plus, posters from other group members will showcase even more of our molecular investigations!

There were lots of great talks and posters from PhD students at the UoE School of Chemistry Joseph Black Conference last week. Boron PhD student Chen Li from the @lloydjonesgroup.bsky.social gave an interesting and well received talk 'The Boroxine-Boronic Acid Equilibrium'.

🎉Si-mply fantastic! 🎉
Huge congratulations to Dr Hannah Minshull who won 2nd place at the Empowering Women in Organic Chemistry Europe Conference this week.
Silicon chemistry has never looked so slick!

In March, PhD students Callum Cushnie and Roisin O'Dea proved it's not just about fast chemical reactions - they're fast on their feet too! They both successfully completed the Inverness Half Marathon with speed and precision worthy of any lab experiment. #InvernessHalfMarathon

Massive congratulations to PhD student Callum Cushnie for absolutely smashing the activation barrier at the Edinburgh Marathon yesterday - flying across the finish line at 2:59:56! Now that's what we call a fast reaction rate! #EdinburghMarathon #FirstMarathon

Best of luck to Roisin O'Dea as she begins her 3-month placement at Syngenta! Can't wait to hear all about it - see you soon! 🌱🧪

GLJ/AGD research group took a break from the lab yesterday for a swim and BBQ — great science, better sausages, and even better company! 🌊🔥🥩

This is awesome! (And seasonally appropriate as a bonus 😂) I think Andrew Hall was also maybe indirectly responsible for directing me to Waldi Bauer (or maybe the other way around?)

Congratulations to Roisin O'Dea and @annabelflook.bsky.social from the group who gave a great talk about how to get started with reaction monitoring using NMR to the newest chemistry cohort across Scotland at the latest SNUG meeting. #nmrchat

Awesome work @annabelflook.bsky.social, and it's prompted some really fun conversations with researchers both in Edinburgh and from further afield too!

Did some tidying up of the links for chemistry related starter packs, arranged loosely by subject area, and added who maintains the list so you know who to speak with if you'd like to be added!
