Thanks the invite^. Sure, I’ll consider publishing in @jacs.acspublications.org. Oh wait, you mean the *other* JACS?! 😬 #Chemsky ^assuming you me not my former PhD student 🤔

The Glen T Seaborg medal award symposium and dinner at UCLA, honouring posthumously Sir Fraser Stoddart, was excellent. So many great talks and touching memories. And look @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social, I bumped into our new #Chemsky colleagues

It was wonderful to be back in Hong Kong to present at the LSCCB’s conference. Now off to Cali to see some of my fav #Chemsky folks including @conway-group.bsky.social, @feldmannlab.bsky.social, @floodgroup.bsky.social, @gracegdhan.bsky.social and @swagergroup.bsky.social

Why control photon spin from OLEDs using molecular handedness when you can do it electrically? Check out our new preprint. Very excited about this one! @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social #Chemsky #Physics 🧪 doi.org/10.26434/che... A short explainer 🧵 1/n

Our preprint on the Faraday rotation of chiral organic polymer films is out! Wonderful collaboration with Tim Swager and his group @mitchemistry.bsky.social and Jess Wade. @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social. #Chemsky 🧪 #Physics doi.org/10.26434/che... We learnt a lot in this one, so here's a short 🧵 1/11

I had the pleasure of interacting a number of times with Fraser over the years. He was always so supportive. What an incredible #Chemsky loss! RIP

I reckon this one of the Emperors outside the Sheldonian in Oxford has a Santa vibe. Happy Christmas everyone! (Shockingly, no AI was used in the generation of this image 😅)

Wonderful to be at the Royal Society tonight to celebrate the amazing Jess Wade and her Rosalind Franklin Award. So incredibly well deserved. Read more about her award and lecture here: royalsociety.org/science-even... #Chemsky #Physics 🧪 (I’m nagging her to join Bluesky!)
