Really enjoyed visiting the @msearcey24 @andrew_beekman & @_ZoeGoddard labs UEA Pharmacy today. A real hive of activity. Cool to see my PhD duocarmycin synthesis still in use & just about standing the test of time. Looking forward to seeing Marco's replacement soon. Thank-you.

Apply to Dr Michael Stephenson's group UEA for a PhD on "elucidating the control mechanisms of nature's most complex enzymatic reactions" - sounds like a fab project at the chemistry/biology boundary!🧪 📅Deadline 27 Nov uea.ac.uk/course/phd-doc…

Really enjoyed teaching my first tutorials today. Definitely learnt not to assume the room will have a functioning Whiteboard eraser. Apologies to the next room booker if you can still see the remnants of my tropylium ions, but, I promise, most of them are on my fingers.🤦‍♂️

Looking for a postdoc to work in our team! This is for a chemical microbiology project looking at G-quadruplex and i-motif structures in controlling expression and biosynthesis of pathways for nitrous oxide production.

The first component of my custom vertical farming solution has just arrived. Watch this space to see if we can grow Nicotiana benthamiana hydroponically in a chemistry lab UEA Chemistry #NicotianaBenthamiana #NaturalProductChemistry #MedicinalChemistry #Phytochemistry

More components have arrived for our custom vertical farming solution. Still awaiting a rather critical one - the growth lights, but at least we know the racking fits🥳Keep watching to see if N. benthamiana will grow in a chemistry lab UEA Chemistry 🌱⚗️👨‍🔬 #MolecularFarming
