Fully funded 3.5-year PhD studentship! Come and work on alkaline earth metal organometallic chemistry and metal-metal bonding Imperial Chemistry! More details via the link: imperial.ac.uk/chemistry/post…

As close as I will ever get to royalty! 🍿🤴🏻🍿 #Royals #KingCharlesIII #Science

Dear Derek Lowe, What an amazing love letter to my eternal love 💚. I would sign this immediately! Thank you very much! PS: I will soon share an exciting new aspect about introducing F atoms into organic and inorganic molecules. Hope you gonna like it 🙂. Stay tuned!

I don't feel well after looking at the election results in Germany... but at least the remake of "Germany's cheekiest unemployed person" looks lit 😍. Poetic justice (even spicier through this mini-vid) ❤. #GermanElections #ByeBye #lindnerruecktritt

Just finished my last tutorial with my usual tutorial groups this academic year (one more as a cover in nearly two weeks). And when they congratulated me to a potential new job... got a bit sentimental 🥹🥹. Happy students, happy tutor 🥹. #Love #Chemistry #teaching #Academia

Breaking news and a dream coming true 🤯😭: In April I will join the prestigious University of Oxford to spice up small molecule activation at Oxford Chemistry with The O'Hare Group 🤩. Deep gratitude goes to Crimmin Group and @HintermairLab for supporting me 💚. Still can't believe it...

Modern science is a team sport. And as a team, we need to watch out for each other 💪. I am therefore thankful I was able to attend MHFA England® seminars via Imperial Chemistry to become a mental health first aider. 👨‍⚕️👨‍🔬🧘‍♂️ I hope I can be of help to others if things get tough.

We have an open 3rd year Research Associate position in the group to work on heterometallic complexes for C–H activation. Come join us and have fun playing with metals. Deadline to apply is 3rd of April. More details here. jobs.ac.uk/job/DMJ763/res…

FLY MANUSCRIPT, FLY!!! I can't describe how I feel right now.

It's a wrap: My time in the Crimmin Group at Imperial Chemistry has come to an end! 😯 Very eventful two years and I am very thankful for all I ve seen and learned. 🕺🙏 Now time to calm down... at #Dalton2025 and talk for the first time (Wednesday) to others about my F-chem 🤩😁

And so it begins: Experiment OX-1 🍿🤩🍿 Oxford Chemistry

Can't describe what George Lucas and John Williams together mean to me. Last night I got lucky to feel it again: RotS is a masterpiece which takes my mind on a journey, feeling like I left my body and earth ...even though I just sat in a room for 2.5 hours... #RevengeOfTheSith

A global concern: Can fluorochemical production be sustainable? 💚 Turns out you can avoid CaF2 mining and utilise existing (problematic) F-chemicals as source for other F-compounds via a trivial one-pot protocol at any conventional Schlenk line! 💪 More details in our ChemRxiv

Superb idea: Introducing alternatives to dichloromethane in teaching labs! I love my DCM in few synthesis applications, but avoiding it in teaching labs is the way to go 💪. Nicely written and comprehensive view on things. #DCM #Sustainability pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Ok... now I ve seen everything: I got my latest 1000 micron prepTLCs(!) at Oxford Chemistry from... its departmental vending machine 🤯 (had to return to take a picture 😅). Subba seals, NMR tubes/solvents, pipettes... Uncertain in which direction my life will go on from here

Black Sabbath was the first band to made me travel internationally to see their concert. Their music as well as Ozzy's solo career music are still part of my daily lab music playlists. 👨‍🔬🤘 RIP Ozzy Osbourne 😔. Today's synthesis is for you.🤘

Ayayay! A fully characterised RBiH2!! 😌🍷 Immense bulkiness and low temperatures as reasons to rewrite textbooks! Nice. We ll never get BiH3, but at least we you can get this close!

Say hello to Ben 👋, my new MChem padawan here in the The O'Hare Group at University of Oxford 👨‍🔬👨‍🏫. Together we will explore new worlds in the organometallic universe for the next couple of months 😎 (and of course I ve sent him through the organic proligand synthesis parkour first 😄).

Fantastic days in Aachen: First an intergenerational academic family reunion in Aachen 🤩. From the right: My former padawan Marek at University of Bath (soon to be Dr), my former master Bishal at Fraunhofer ISE in Freiburg (now conquering Aachen) and me 🍷. 👦🏼👴🏾👨🏻🎓🎓🎓 #academia
