It feels strange to be in Switzerland in April/May for something other than the #Burgenstock meeting, but it was a pleasure to be the external speaker at the last retreat of the NCCR Molecular Systems Engineering in Grindelwald.

Reactions of ribose relevant to the origin of metabolism apparently occur in aqueous microdroplets but not in bulk water. Why not? Computations suggest it's electric fields.
Thanks @thijsstuyver.bsky.social and @javialra97.bsky.social for the great collab!

The key to enjoying a Canadian winter is to embrace winter sports! Last week we taught two of our new group members to skate on the Rideau Canal, the world's largest naturally frozen ice rink.
