Lovely stay with Wim from VelemaLab in Nijmegen, Netherlands. Fact: we are both OGs of azobenzene photoswitches, now retired from that game.

A decent way to appreciate when microscopic reversibility works and when it does not: when you try the “reverse” of a light-promoted reaction and fail to see the light appearing in the middle of your flask
