Turn on the TV in the UK and who is on but John Edwards! Local privacy commissioner made good!

We're on our way to The Chatham Islands for their 'Festival of Science' next Tuesday! Our Science Engagement Manager Jessa Barder discussed this exciting opportunity we've be presented with on Afternoons with Jesse Milligan. Listen here: rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

Highly recommend this group (OK, I'm biased, this was my postdoc group...) for great science and great training!

It's been a lovely couple of days celebrating @nicgaston's promotion to full prof!! 🎉 Thanks Nicola for the invite and even more so for the ever-present support and for being such a key part of an amazing and expanding community (only some of whom are pictured below) 🙏 💚

I'll be striking tomorrow, primarily for those on precarious contracts/professional staff. However, I'm sad that the most crucial contributors to the tertiary sector's research efforts - the grad students - don't have the same collective bargaining power to raise their stipends..

Delighted to be promoted to Assoc. Prof. University of Otago! But also sheepish, as my successes are not mine but those of my amazing group of students, and helped by a weighty support network (looking at you @MacDiarmidInsti, Crowley Group, @nicgaston et al). Thanks team, you're the best ❤️

Day 1 of NZIC 2022 conference and the group is excited to be here, despite the very early start! First problem though, we have to choose between Sarah Masters and Crowley Group talks! Sorry, James, phys chem wins! Nice talk Sarah Masters!

Nice keynote presentation from Sally Gaw on microplastics and other chemical pollutants at NZIC2022 NZIC

Awesome University of Otago representation in the student prize session of NZIC 2022 by China Payne. It's always a pleasure to watch China's talks! Vernall Lab

Nick Smith making the group proud with a really clear and engaging talk about global optimisation of nanoclusers at NZIC 2022. Awesome job Nick! I aspire to be able to explain methodology projects so well!

1/2 Hey Air New Zealand... My students had an excellent time at a symposium only to have their flights cancelled and you booked them into a hotel where they are expected to share a bed (not a room, a bed!). The 6 phone numbers provided for them to contact you are not able to rectify...

🚨PhD and Research Assistant Opportunities🚨 My group in organic and biological chemistry at University of @Otago has a FULLY FUNDED PhD SCHOLARSHIP (35k NZD p.a.+ tuition fees), on origins of life chemistry. We are also hiring a research associate. Details below. Please RT.
