My PhD students made this great poster for the Research Open Day, @manchester.ac.uk. It really shows what our group is about: the science, the ideas, the collaborations, and the fun behind it all! 🥳
Very proud of this creative and hard-working team, past and present!

Two Basque cheesecakes this weekend 🫠🍰 One for home, one for a birthday in the group, and to inaugurate the group seminar season tomorrow 🎉

Here’s our new group photo outside the Dover St Building, @manchester.ac.uk !

A couple of our members (Ethan and Nik) are missing from this one, but it’s great to have most of the team together.

Excited for everything we’ll be working on this year! 🖥️ ⚛️

Summer 2025: beaches, heat, family, friends, wandering around cities, and way too much good food.
But all good things have an end… so next week, back to Manchester 😄

Amazing week in Oslo for #WATOC2025.

Best part? Catching up with old friends and meeting new people.

I shared one of our latest projects, and Diana, Tim @jamesob2.bsky.social , and @juliak4czm4r3k.bsky.social presented a poster 🥳

Time to go home!

Great day at NSSC 2025 in London. Lovely to catch up with friends, meet new people, and hear some genuinely exciting science. Some good chats about possible collabs too.
Thanks everyone!

First stop on a very full month of scientific travel: heading to London today for the New Starters in Synthesis and Catalysis (NSSC) 2025 meeting.

Looking forward to connecting with early-career researchers in catalysis!

Made a Basque cheesecake to celebrate some May & June birthdays in the group 🎂🧀
They totally earned something sweet 🥳

It’s been ages since the Trujillo Group had a proper day out, so it was fab to finally get (almost) all of us together in Hebden Bridge!
We had a lot to celebrate, including birthdays, one of our students finishing his visit, and just the chance to hang out outside the office #CompChem #GroupDayOut

Our Nika Melnyk presented her PhD journey at the Dublin Chemistry 3rd Year Talks 2025 and absolutely nailed it! 💥

“Catalysis of Organic Reactions Through XB-Based Organocatalysis.”

Super proud of her!

Spent a great day at AstraZeneca, giving a seminar and meeting some brilliant people. Thank you all for the hospitality, and in particular, thank you, Megha Anand, for the invitation and for organising the meeting. #compchem #catalysis

International Day of Women and Girls in Science—a moment to celebrate, but also to ask: why do the numbers still drop so sharply from PhD to professor? In our department, just 13 female academics, only 3 professors. Progress? Yes. Enough? Not even close. #WomenInSTEM

Funny coincidence: I got them LEGO too — Great minds really do think alike! 🎄😊
Happy break to you all!

Wrapping up the academic year with my last seminar of 2024.
Thanks @BeilsteinInstitut.hessen.social.ap.brid.gy for the opportunity!

It's been a loooong and tough one, but we made it! 😅😂

Also treated myself to this book because... why not? #AcademiaLife

Headed to London this morning for the 30th Annual Review Meeting – New Directions in Organic Chemistry, organised by SCI's Young Chemists’ Panel.

Grateful for the invite and gave my talk despite feeling sick 😓
Now ibuprofen, paracetamol, and resting
