I've found that animating chemical reaction mechanisms is well worth the effort for helping to explain reaction mechanisms, especially to students and non-chemists. For example, I made this simplified self-immolation animation to explain our linkers from pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

🧲 This is a real #NMRchallenge for students and #NMR geeks developed by the NMR group @IOCBPrague: practice solving structures from hundreds of NMR spectra and become an NMR guru.

Delighted that our Perspective article in @ChemPlusChem with @ChampnessGroup on Metal-Organic Frameworks and Metal-Organic Cages tops the list of their most accessed articles in Dec 21 and is second over the whole of 2021👇

Last Friday marked my last official day @SydneyChemistry and my last day in academia (at least for now). Thanks @LMacreadie for throwing together impromptu Zoom drinkies :) Thanks to all my colleagues and students for all the support and great memories!

An Account of our work in the area of helical metallopolymers is now online!🧬💡🔌Incl. discussion on how we entered this area, approaches to controlling the metallopolymer's structures, and an overview of their applications. @ChemCambridge @impchemistry

“Isn’t the best way to stimulate growth to change the narrative about how we can build world class industries and businesses through innovation and R&D, rather than drive interest rates to zero or less than zero in an effort to drive savers to spend their money” 1/2

In essence, I would say that a government agency like the ARC needs Ministerial oversight of its *processes*; but not Ministerial veto over its *outcomes*.

I am over the moon that my first paper as a corresponding author has been published in @angew_chem ! Thanks to the wonderful team @Liamthechemist @Sarah_R_Ball @lizjnew @MargaretSunde who made this work possible! Wonderful news to end the year! 😍onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Stoked to have our work with @GilliesER feature on the front cover of @PolymChem! Check out our work on the post-polymerisation 'click' capping of self-immolative polymers here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…
Beautiful work by @LauraWimberger, @JonBeves and team!

First paper of Haoxiang Zeng's PhD! Our review summarising the recent progress made in the area of stimuli-induced morphology transformations of block copolymer self-assemblies. Big thanks to @AusJChem for the invitation to submit our work!

A massive thanks to @stuartcantrill for staying up late to give us an under-to-hood look at scientific publishing from the editor's perspective. Members of @Sydney_Uni and @SydneyChemistry thoroughly enjoyed the talk and the extensive Q&A after!

Was a pleasure to supervise this group of students, working together to understand and improve #learning outcomes from #CitizenScience.
Thanks @derrick_a_rob for mastering the coordination of this unit and @krscroggie for co-supervising and sharing your amazing expertise!
Over the past two semesters E$$ENTIAL MEDICINE$ has welcomed @Sydney_Science #dalyell students to take part in a project 'Co-Designing Online Learning Processes'. Here is a summary of what students were up to this semester - youtu.be/28uuHp9AKb0

This is one of the highest quality science youtube channels I've come across. The level of detail and precision in the content, quality of animaion, and approachable explanations (University-level, generally) are brilliant. Amazing for lovers of science!
