- A late Christmas gift - our new paper on using dynamic covalent pericyclic reactions to control host-guest chemistry in water has just been accepted in @commschem.nature.com. Massive congrats @mariusgaedke.bsky.social @anjaramstrom.bsky.social @daisypooler.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s42...
- This was a difficult project that went in many unexpected directions, and along the way we learnt so much about assembling supramolecular systems in biologically relevant environments. Massive team effort led by our superb postdoc Marius, really happy to see this one out ✨⚗🔗🧪✨!
- Two amazing days at #MASC2025 in Milton Keynes with outstanding science and amazing people! Great to see both old and new friends from all over the world! Our team also got not one but two poster prizes - congrats @anjaramstrom.bsky.social and @nicolesdlt.bsky.social - you rock 🤩🍀🥳🎉!
- Other highlights included @daisypooler.bsky.social showing her amazing postdoc work on biocompatible MIMs for the first time, and the group Christmas Dinner and subsequent karaoke!! Was an absolute blast - love working with this team ✨️🎊🎄!!!
- Reposted by Fredrik Schaufelbergergreat to see @fschaufelberger.bsky.social present our recent work on our lanthanide chelate rotaxane emitters pioneered by @anjaramstrom.bsky.social! 📡💡 and a sneak peek into the main work of my postdoc too 😉 #MASC2025
- Welcome to the lab to our first Warwick PhD student Jack, and master students Nicole (from Uni Heidelberg), as well as Gabriel and Marilyn (MChems). We're so happy to have you all here and wish you lots of fun and productive times in the lab 🍀🎉🦝🤩
- RIP Jane Goodall! Amazing scientist, even more amazing human being! Your LEGO avatar watches over me in my office every day ❤️
- We were incredibly honored to welcome Dr. Isabel Torres from Mothers in Science to #UniversityofWarwick this week! Dr. Torres presented deeply insightful and frankly quite horrifying studies on the treatment of mothers in academia and how parenthood impacts STEMM careers. Great discussions!!
- In beautiful Jyväskylä together with @sgoldup.bsky.social and Fabien Cougnon holding a summer school on mechanically interlocked molecules! Brilliant students, great discussions and fantastic weather as a bonus 🤩🍀.
- Reposted by Fredrik Schaufelberger📣 Call for Abstracts - vMASC 📣 We are currently inviting abstracts from all early-career researchers (Master’s, PhD, PDRA) for oral presentations in 2025/2026 as part of our monthly vMASC seminar series. Submission deadline 📆 18th Aug 2025 Find out more on mascgroup.co.uk/vmasc-4/vmas...

- This is one of those true jawdropping moments in science - absolutely crazy cool work from Michael and team 🤩
- This week in Science, researchers report an artificial molecular motor that can twist a molecular thread to form a mechanically interlocked molecule. The approach creates opportunities to fabricate mechanically interlocked molecules with precise structural control. Learn more: scim.ag/40FboGP
- Our collection on Mechanically Interlocked Molecules is now online @commschem.nature.com ! Wonderful working on this with @jbernicano.bsky.social Serena and Victoria! Lots of very interesting content in the final collection, please have a look if you are into interlocked molecules and materials😄
- Delighted to present our Collection on Mechanically interlocked molecules! #Chemsky Congratulations and thank you to Guest Editors @fschaufelberger.bsky.social, Jose Berna and Serena Silvi for expertly editing this Collection of exciting content. www.nature.com/collections/...
- Amazing summer socials this week with group members from both Warwick and KTH! Highlights included a tour of the Leamington Elephant Bath and ET graffiti, cocktail by the river and of course tons of science chats 🍀🧪🧬. Just the best bunch of people ever #luckyPI

- In addition to her paper being accepted (see other post), @anjaramstrom.bsky.social is also now on bluesky 🤩🎉🍀! Give her a follow if you like cool rotaxanes, there's some incredibly stuff from her brewing in the lab at the moment
- Over the moon that the first paper from Anja's studies on metal chelate rotaxanes is now online in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1002/anie... Massive congratulations Anja, @daisypooler.bsky.social Huseyn, Monika and @screspi.bsky.social 🥳🎉🎊🍀🥃 Thread below --》
- In this paper, we show that the mechanical bond is a useful way to induce lanthanide luminescence. Lanthanides are highly luminescent, but only if sensitised by an adjacent chromosome, or "antenna". Anja made a rotaxane emitter where the lanthanide and antenna is separated via the mechanical bond
- Massive congrats to Anja for her poster prize at @ismsc2025. Very proud supervisor, you're doing incredible work Anja🎉🥳🎊
- Reposted by Fredrik SchaufelbergerJob Alert 📢📢📢 Systems chemistry lab is hiring! We are looking for motivated candidates to do a PhD with us. It will be on the effect of (large) aggregation on chemical reaction networks, more details here: systemschemistry-lab.chimie.unistra.fr/vacancies/. Repost very much appreciated 🙏
