We had a great week at the 26th Lakeland Symposium in Grasmere! We’ve heard some phenomenal science, seen some beautiful scenery, and learnt that Andy has a very different idea of a gentle walk to the rest of us! 🧪🏞️ #RSCGrasmere #HeterocyclicChemistry

I'm excited to share our comprehensive review on Non-directed C–H functionalisation has published in Chem Soc Rev . This work explores the evolution and mechanistic understanding of non-directed strategies for C–H activation of (hetero)arenes Debabrata Maiti pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Congratulations to Ally for his work on point and axially chiral heterocycles, and we have an Ali sandwich with comp from Ali Goodfellow and Jacob! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
