Maybe USS should adopt a new strapline: 'Screwing our members over, particularly the youngest ones.'

Please RT. PhD students funded by UK Research and Innovation face a cash crisis. They are working full-time, yet earning less than living wage. With the rising cost of living and increasing pressure to deliver high quality research that benefits society, something needs to change. THREAD (1/10)

We didn’t hire you to discover the truth, find meaning, or make the world a better place with your research. We hired you to get grants with overhead that returns to the college!

My water supplier, Severn Trent, has been sending messages telling people to use less water in the #UKHeatwave. As a result, my neighbours have been worried about using water on days so hot, they're a national emergency. Let me tell you some things about Severn Trent. 🧵

Really honoured to be recognised by UoN colleagues for this prestigious award. The award was in recognition of both my pedagogical approaches to gamification within lectures to enhance learning as well as my wider outreach work through the International Chemistry Olympiad.

Happy lab at the end of last week with the installation of our new automated CombiFlash system from Teledyne ISCO UK! Slightly jealous I only had manual column options as a PhD/postdoc, but maybe now I'll be the dreaded PI sneaking in the lab to setup reactions

In a busy few days, we also had a great time last week at #MASCECR with the rest of the RSC_MASC group. Also said goodbye to both our Nottingham and Virginia Tech summer students, great to have you all in the lab!

Hands up if you'd like to replace the entire leadership cadre of UK universities with 5,000 early career academics and administrative staff. Seems like a no brainer...

Hope everyone has been enjoying the summer. We'll be opening registration and abstract submission for posters/talks early September. Stay tuned for some invited speaker announcements in the coming days...

Delighted to share my first independent paper as a Glasstone Research Fellow at the University of Oxford in collaboration with the fantastic team Ester Hammond and Dr Hannah Bolland. Special thanks to Jesus College Oxford, Stuart Conway and Stephen Faulkner for the support. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We are delighted to announce that the 2022 RSC Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (MASC) Meeting at the University of Nottingham is open for registration and we can reveal our meeting logo!

If you still haven't voted in the UCU ballot, let me give you a reason if you have a USS pension. Short thread 🧵 #ucuRISING

With the deadline for talk abstracts one week today (Fri 21st Oct) we thought we would explain a bit more about the inspiration behind our logo.

RT IF YOU ARE A STRIKING UNIVERSITY WORKER, POSTIE, TEACHER OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE PICKET LINE TODAY. ALSO RT IF YOU BACK THEM. Let’s cut beyond the media and show people they have mass support. #ucuRISING #StandByYourPost

Excited to be at @masc2022. It’s lovely to see so many of our existing customers in one place and looking forward to meeting new people over the next two days! Come say hi if you have any purification questions, we’re here to help #masc2022

Do you like MOFs? Do you like quantum materials? Why not do a PhD combining the two with us: findaphd.com/phds/project/h… cliffe.nottingham.ac.uk

We have a PhD studentship available UoN Chemistry exploring the late-stage functionalisation of peptides using electrosynthesis! If you have an interest in synthetic chemistry/electrochemistry/chemical biology, please apply! findaphd.com/phds/project/r…
