- Looking forward to today's Stone Symposium www.bristol.ac.uk/chemistry/ne..., featuring Liam Ball, Derek Woollins and Michelle Ma, as well as our own Paul Pringle as the Stone Lecturer. And if you can't join us in person, you can still work out your Pringle number...
- Very pleased this work from Xue Fang's PhD and a collaboration with the Faul group is published: A Solvent Selection Framework for Porous Organic Polymers | Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
- New(ish) paper alert, with @adrianmulholla1.bsky.social and many others: All Roads Lead to Carbinolamine: QM/MM Study of Enzymatic C–N Bond Cleavage in Anaerobic Glycyl Radical Enzyme Choline Trimethylamine-Lyase (CutC) | The Journal of Physical Chemistry B pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
- Following on from the PDRA post a little while back, we also have opportunities for PhD students.
- On 12 November we will be hosting the prestigious Stone Symposium here in Bristol. Paul Pringle (Bristol) is this year's Stone Lecturer, with further talks from Liam Ball (Bristol), Michelle Ma (@kclchemistry), and J. Derek Woollins (St. Andrews) Find out more and register: t.co/KgxZq0DgjK
- You may need to be a gardener to understand, but this weekend I was hand-weeding a bed where lots of bindweed has appeared, and I found one from the start of the root and followed it all the way into a tree, removing it intact. Easily one of the best things to happen all week!
- Week off is not going to plan! Bother.
- Paging the #CompChemSky and #iTeachChem communities: Could you please help my MSc student with an education project, exploring how gen AI shapes the way we think, solve problems, and build confidence.
- Participation is anonymous and open to anyone aged 18 or over. Stage 1 is a short online survey that takes around 10-15 minutes: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/JK8e8Gt1NX
- Our neighbours daughter is getting married tomorrow. Since I made crochet koalas for her sister's wedding last year, it was lemurs this time. And a trombone and a euphonium. So this is what I just dropped off:
- I'm excited to share that my promotion to Professor becomes effective today. It took more than a village, and I’d like to thank family, friends, students, colleagues and collaborators for all of their support.
- Still time to apply, closing on Sunday, 3rd August 2025!

- Another embarrassing dumpster fire for democracy? Potential impact on international events, too, perhaps they jinxed it with the tight timeline for handover.
- And this time with tags... we are advertising for a fixed-term post: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMU792/l... #CompChem #ChemSky #iTeachChem #chemjobber
- A new opportunity to come and work with us - note that this is a fixed-term post: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DMU792/l...
- Can't attach picture to a chat message, but this one is for @bedcatalysis.bsky.social...
- Reposted by Prof. Natalie FeyMy thoughts on the “pharmaceutical tariffs” issue, and an explanation of just what a morass it is.
- Sound advice! I'm beginning to appreciate the one about checking the font size and lighting by someone over 50. Especially yesterday, when I forgot my computer glasses and spent all day squinting...
