Hello! My contract is ending in a year, and I’m starting the long journey of looking for my next job.

Please feel welcome to send me jobs you think might be interesting, especially in Chemistry/STEM education. Open to roles beyond the UK and/or outside teaching/academia.

Congratulations to Lucy Hudson (left) and Caitlin Fulton (right) on graduating from their Masters Chemistry at York today. Also congrats to Elias Alexopoulos who isn't here to share in the festivities. You should all be super proud of your achievements! Well done!

Nice end to the week, our paper 'Determination of electric and thermoelectric properties of molecular junctions by AFM in peak force tapping mode' doi.org/10.1088/1361-6… has been published IOP Publishing

Real team effort by Lancaster Physics, Angelo Lamantia, Oleg Kolosov 🇺🇦 Hatef Sadeghi

Our lab is now on twitter! Be sure to follow them to hear about the latest chemical biology research Chemistry at York, from across the groups of Alison Parkin, Martin Fascione, Lianne Willems, and myself. I'm very biased, but lots of super exciting research going on!

TOMORROW - Chemistry@York Research Conference Don't miss this fantastic new event profiling the exciting research taking place Chemistry at York.
Plenary speaker: David Cole Hamilton, University of St Andrews St Andrews School of Chemistry 'The role of Chemists in a sustainable world'

Love High Rollers! This show kept me sane through lockdown and through a very difficult last 18ish months. Escapism is important and this crew offers it in spades! I'm going to miss the universe and characters of Aerois, but so glad I could experience it. Roll on campaign 3!!

Our democratically elected #paperofthemonth : Harry Anderson Group managed to directly link porphyrins at the β-position, giving rise to neat trimers and tetramers (and a 1:2 complex with C60 ⚽️).👏

Congrats Georgia Orton!!

First full independent research paper from the group out in ACSSustainableCh&Eng! With Miller Group and Johnson Matthey, we show how flow can be used to improve a nitroreductase enzyme for aniline synthesis! #RealTimeChem #biocatalysis check it out!

I've just signed Zero Hour's petition to Rishi Sunak, calling on the Prime Minister to set a gold standard target to restore our precious natural world. I'm standing #UnitedForNature , will you add your name? ctt.ec/E4if4+

The first conversation I had with my oncologist, we were just talking about his experiences as a doctor (which...awesome, it was very good to get know him a bit) and I ended up asking if people ever decide to not follow his advice.

He said yes, and he looked very sad and then he…

We held our annual chemical sciences research day at Keele Chemistry & Medicinal Chemistry this week! We celebrated the range of fantastic research that goes on in our department. We kicked off with keynote Charlotte Willans of Chemistry at York, who shared her groups work in NHC catalysis, E-chem and flow

New paper from the group just out in Chemical Communications

Ring expansion reactions of P=O containing molecules - with some unexpected results. Main message - P is not C!

Congrats to all authors Zhongzhen Yang, Jack, Jerry and Jason Lynam Chemistry at York

Gillian Reid gives a masterclass in science communication and advocacy for inorganic chemistry! A pleasure to listen to!

Just a couple of days left to apply for this fully funded PhD in organometallic chemistry ⁦Chemistry at York⁩ working with me, ⁦Andrew Weller⁩ and Jackie Mosely. findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

Sign up by end of this week! Come see some great science and visit our lovely campus at Keele Chemistry & Medicinal Chemistry. RTs very much appreciated! Thanks to Manchester Organics Chemical Communications Asynt Lab Supplies for sponsorship. Food all provided, easy to get to from Manc/Birmingham too!

1 week left to apply........please RT.

Congrats Dr. Nick and Chris Spicer! It's been fantastic working with you both over the last 3-4 years :)
