Thrilled to have been awarded a 2025 Future Fellowship by the Australian Research Council (ARC).
Huge thanks to my team, collaborators & #UNSW for the support. Goal: enzyme-based nanoparticles to reprogram cells for #biomanufacturing to #medicine and #foodtechnology

The Aussie contingent were so proud of Dr @dmdeclercq.bsky.social of @unswchemistry.bsky.social, who wowed us with his #chemistry talk at the #lino2025 Thematic Next Gen Science Session of Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.
Superstar Jay Menham doing us proud in the UNSW Science one-minute thesis. @unswchemistry.bsky.social
Great turn up to Jon Berengut’s Warji talk here at @unswchemistry.bsky.social
🎉 @iupac.org Emeritus Fellow Brynn Hibbert, @unswchemistry.bsky.social, awarded the RACI Ollé Prize for his contribution to #IUPAC Orange Book 📙

Very honoured to be invited to give a research seminar @unswchemistry.bsky.social, thanks again to Sam Furfari for organising #ChemSky
Really proud of Him, Simona, Kavisha and Isis representing our team in Japan at @ismsc2026.bsky.social! Simona even won a poster prize for the cage catalysis work - woohoo! #OzChem #ChemSky
Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work

Enjoy this latest edition of the Crazy Wave Function Project.
Femtolab is baaaack!
Excited to join the Australian delegation for the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate meeting!
Thank you @unswchemistry.bsky.social, @schmidtim.bsky.social for all the support during my PhD!

Marc Greenberg from John Hopkins giving a fantastic lecture here at @unswchemistry.bsky.social UNSW RNA Institute on oxidative damage in DNA-histone protein interactions. #ozchem #RNA #DNA
Fantastic Cavill Lecture by Wilhelm Huck about reservoir computing - inspiring concepts and amazing how these chaotic systems can be made to work for us! #ChemSky @unswchemistry.bsky.social
Time for the Cavill Lecture: this time Prof. Wilhelm Huck from Radboud University
a must read from UNSW Chemistry: Replacements for HCFCs undergo processing in the atmosphere into.....HCFCs!

Screenshot of a tweet from the ARC saying the following: "DP26 EOI applicants: tomorrow all lead CIs will receive an email with their outcomes and all applicants will be able to get their results in RMS. Due to the volume of applications, emails may be staggered throughout the day. Stay tuned for an update.".
The ARC have tweeted that they will released Discovery Projects Expression of Interest outcomes tomorrow.
So distressing seeing what is happening to science in the US. Good luck everyone over there - the rest of us watch on in horror #ChemSky

Your man is the Robert Falcon Scott of Beryllium
That's what almost every academic wants to hear!

Very proud of Dr Ray DiNardi for being awarded the RACI supramolecular thesis of the year! #ozchem @unswchemistry.bsky.social
Time to listen to our own colleague, @tristanreekie.bsky.social from UNSW Canberra!
Sydney North Shore beach balls -
@unswchemistry.bsky.social
analysed them! TL,DR: filthy soap scum. Details below! #tarballs #grimeballs #ozchem
Here we demonstrate proof of concept for spatial patterning of multiple cell types using compression and light triggers. However, the concept is general and we envision wide ranging applications from tissue engineering to soft robotics. @asbte.bsky.social @unswchemistry.bsky.social
Sad to report that our esteemed colleague, Sir Fraser Stoddart, passed away yesterday in Melbourne, surrounded by family. His legacy is the 90+ academics he trained who continue to push the boundaries of human knowledge. Vale Fraser.
The long awaited opus magnus from Hansen Group. He shows that HFC replacements actually produce HFCs under atmospheric conditions! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Dr Felix Rizutto has just signed on for a life sentence at UNSW Chemistry! Congratulations and welcome to the team Felix! Felix is completing his DECRA fellowship but already has new salary support lined up with a Moderna Australia fellowship. Lots of DNA craft ahead!
Good morning #ChemSky! In a fit of insomniac helpfulness, I created a starter pack of chemistry departments*.
I know the pack is rather incomplete and mostly reflects English-speaking institutions due to my own linguistic & search limitations. So please feel free to reply to request additions!
We were impressionable in our youth
