In the @FT today, I argue that if AI is just another productivity tool, the productivity gains will be limited. For lasting economic expansion, AI must catalyze new industries and initiatives.
"Had the 19th century focused solely on better looms and ploughs, we would enjoy cheap cloth and abundant grain — but there would be no antibiotics, jet engines or rockets. Economic miracles stem from discovery, not repeating tasks at greater speed."

We were delighted recently to have Dr Charlie Simms @UniofOxford – winner of the 2024 RSC Horizon Education Prize @periodically_ox – visit @unibirmingham to give the talk "PERIODically: Menstruation in Academia" as part of our EDI seminar series, hosted by PhD student Sena Ozturk

I try not to post "real life" stuff but a few days ago I was asked to give a guest talk about movies to a class of 4th graders. I showed clips of Brakhage, Warhol, Painlevé, etc. I explained how cinema is defined by us and that movies can be made with basic materials.

New paper out today in @NatureSynthesis from Wenbang Yang (@yangwenbang0310). We describe addition of Zn–Zn bonds to main group carbenes. The system nicely illustrates the continuum between oxidative addition and reductive addition processes. rdcu.be/ejPSS
