Congratulations to Manisa Kongkaew for winning the New Journal of Chemistry best short lecture prize at the 6th International Symposium on Silsesquioxanes-Based Materials last week👏 Talk title: Synthesis of fine tuned hollow periodic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles for drug delivery

My dad was bragging about his new hearing aid. "State of the Art," he said, "It cost me a fortune." I asked: "Awesome what type is it?" He said: "Two thirty."

What's the difference between gray and grey? One is a color and the other is a colour.

Huge number of great Organometallic Chemists ♥️ An amazing experience.

Argentina is colder than most people realise. In fact, it's bordering on Chile

Great end to a great conference in Agra. Thanks to the organisers. Looking forward to the next ICOMC in Brazil in 2026. ICOMC 2024 James Cook Uni Royal Australian Chemical Institute RACI Inorganic Chemistry Division Vicki Junk 🌻🇺🇦💙💛
