And that's a wrap for #CSC2025!
Leitch lab folks (current and alumni) gave amazing talks, posters, workshops, and tore it up at the social events! Very proud of Kushal, Jae,
@gilianthomas.bsky.social, and Max & @camzheng.bsky.social (who couldn't make the photo)

Advance voting day here in Victoria. This feels like the most consequential election in quite a while. Fellow Canadians make sure to get out and #vote!

I dunno, to me Kevin Hassett seems more like an Energy Vampire from What We Do On the Shadows, both in appearance and demeanor.

Hello World! as they say

#Bluesky will be the primary social media home for the Leitch Lab going forward, and we're looking forward to reconnecting with the #chemtwitter refugees and new members of the community!

Fantastic work from @gilianthomas.bsky.social and the rest of Team Nickel on this project! Ni chemistry is a new adventure for us, and I certainly agree with Sabatier about its 'spirited' nature... Very excited to see where this direction will lead going forward!
