A fantastic #WinterShowcase! Huge thanks to @susrescdt.bsky.social for 2 inspiring days of #sustainable #chemistry. Impressive work by EPSRC CDT in Resilient Chemistry, advancing circular, low-impact chemical manufacturing. Congratulations to all speakers and prize winners! Photo:ยฉsusrescdt
First on the agenda was invited speaker Miriam Unterlass @unterlasslab.bsky.social from the University of Wรผrzburg, who gave a fantastic talk on how we can find inspiration from early Earth and harness water for automated and sustainable materials synthesis. Thanks for joining us Miriam!
Thank you so much for having me! It was wonderful to discuss with everyone, especially the super cool PhD students!
Top team โค๏ธ
Last week, our team contributed with 7 posters + 2 pitch talks at #ChemSyStM2025 in Wรผrzburg, organized by @jungchemikerforum.bsky.social. We shared our latest research and connect with an inspiring community. A big shout out to Frank for winning a prize for his work on layered #hybrid #materials
Yesterday, we were very honored to welcome the French Consul General in Munich, Mr. Alexandre A. Vulic, together with the Attachรฉ for Scientific and University Cooperation in Munich, Dr. Emmanuel Delille, and the Attachรฉe for Scientific Cooperation in Berlin, Dr. Marie-Lรฉa Rousseau, to our institute
Happy #PrideinSTEM Day 2025! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ฌ #CeMM fosters an inclusive environment for all scientists & admin staff, built on respect & mutual support. We celebrate diversity as a driver of scientific creativity & innovation, working hand in hand to improve healthcare through excellent #research! #LGBTQSTEMDAY
A biologist at the American Museum of Natural History, Jonathan Coddington, cataloged a new genus of South American spiders in 1986.
Two things about the spider were unique:
they lived in caves & laid cubic eggs.
So he called them genus 'Plato', and that's the nerdiest thing I have read all year.

Can generative AI be trusted to draw chemical structures? Not yet, according to two chemists who want to see the community take a tough stance against its use.
Great new PhD student cohort @cemm.oeaw.ac.at! I had a great time with them at our scientific #graphicdesign workshop #SciGD!
A Nobel medal
BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi โfor the development of metal-organic frameworksโ
Stay tuned for more.

The fabulous Naked Scientists have just produced a podcast episode about colour in art, a topic about which I was of course delighted to speak to them.

Merci beaucoup! ๐
Friends! WE ARE ON INSTAGRAM NOW! www.instagram.com/unterlasslab...
Very proud of our institute @fraunhoferisc.bsky.social! We participated in the @fraunhofer.bsky.social deep tech incubator #AHEAD and not 1, not 2, but 3 of our teams moved to phase 1! All three teams received funding to develop their ideas further, which is truly great!
The combination of art and science acts as a catalyst for the social mission of both fieldsโand offers scope for valuable synergies.

A grand conference with mind-blowing talks here in Hefei just started.
While Im very inspired, it also shows how far behind we are in the #Ozchem community. Robotics, ML/AI in chemistry isn't just an idea of the future. It is the present and we need to make sure to stay up to date.
Yes!
Rush. Entire albums. Ideally several in a row.
Big shoutout to Hannah and @celinekuchler.bsky.social for presenting their #PhD research projects at the AiMat Summer School - Machine Learning for Materials, held in Karlsruhe, Germany! Thanks to the AiMat team for an inspiring event full of great discussions. #STEM
