Guillaume is awarded the Bob Hay Lectureship 2021

13/12/2021

 
This prestigious lecture is given annually by a younger chemist working in the area of macrocyclic and/or supramolecular chemistry. The award lecture is given in memory of Professor Bob Hay, one of the pioneers of macrocyclic chemistry in the UK.

The Young Researchers Medal is awarded to a by the Macro group to UK-based scientist whose contributions to polymer science show outstanding promise for the future. Guillaume will be awarded a bronze medal and will deliver a medal award lecture at the Macro Group UK meeting in Autumn 2022.

This award is a great recognition for the what the group has achieved over the past 6 years. 

Welcome to James, Qianqian, and Herman!

2/11/2021

 
We welcome James Ormson to the group who's joining us for a PhD. He will be working on the mechanochemistry of catenane. We also welcome Qianqian and Herman for their MChem final year research project this month. Welcome to all!

Kelly Stanford's Science Pusheen visits our lab!

21/7/2021

 
Our lab has been illustrated by Kelly Stanford in her Science Pusheen series! Kelly Stanford (aka @TheLabArtist) is a science communicator, researcher and artist who is focused on using the power of art for science outreach. She does incredible portraits and illustrations and has drawn over 100 Science Pusheen to highlight the beauty and variety of science. We have collaborated with Kelly for the mechanochemistry panel, which features our own lab (Danny's fume hood at the time, previously occupied by Tom and even Guillaume!).

Celebrating Dr Nixon

8/7/2021

 
We were finally able to celebrate the completion of Rob's thesis (one year later!). It was great to meet again and Rob, sporting a decorated lab coat, masterly opened the traditional bubbles. 
Congratulations Dr Nixon!
