Really fun to talk to the year 10s at Royal High in Bath about plastics and solar energy. Great to inspire future chemists! Had a nice ice cream on the way home as well! Bath in the sun is such a pretty place.

Congratulations to Dr Julian Heuer, who graduated in December. He is the final PhD from my group in @mpip-mainz.mpg.de and the landfester department. #Chemsky check out a thread of Julian's published work!

Ever wanted to know which of the UK "premium" supermarkets has the best mince pie? Well, floor 2 of the Molecular Sciences Building @uobchemistry.bsky.social has been doing the hard graft this week to answer that question. The clear winner is M&S!

Congratulations to Rong Li for defending her PhD last week🎉🎉🎉
Rong is the second PhD student from my group in Germany, and her PhD was in responsive polymer photocatalysts. She is a fantastic scientist and was a pleasure to work with. Here is a summary of her impressive published work. #chemsky

It was really fun to talk in Durham about some of our recent work on photocatalytic polymers. Really engaging discussions in a beautiful city. Thanks to Clare Mahon for hosting :)

Interesting present from a colleague in Birmingham. Let's see how much writing this powers!

Thomas's first paper was on creating photocatalytic hydrogels for the remediation of water pollutants. He produced some nice scalable systems. If you are interested check out his paper in ChemMater

Congratulations to Dr. Thomas Kuckhoff from the
Landfester Department at mpi_polymer who passed his PhD defence on designing photocatalytic materials by merging macromolecules with small molecular photocatalysts. Thomas is the first PhD from my group in Germany so I am rather proud!!!
