We recently caught up with Prof Charlotte Williams, Director of the @ukri.org EPSRC-funded SCHEMA Hub about the big challenges it seeks to tackle and how it will work with university partners and industry to achieve this 🎬#sustainability #materialsscience #chemicals #chemicalengineering
I am incredibly honoured to have won the Jon Weaver Prize!
I am so grateful to the Royal Society of Chemistry Macro Group UK for awarding me the prize, and to my supervisor Prof. Charlotte Williams and my external examiner Prof. Andrew Dove for nominating me!
So excited to see this paper out!
Unbelievably proud of @bonny-gao.bsky.social and so grateful for the I22 team at Diamond Light Source for their incredible assistance! 💚
Our latest work on "Controlled Catalysis Delivering High Molecular Weight Polyesters as Recyclable Alternatives to Polystyrenes" is now online in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social! 🧪🪢♻️

Oh my 2,3-dihydrofuran,
I don’t know know any monomer cooler than
Thee.
Your cyclic vinyl ether,
Makes thermosetting so much easier
For me:
You ROMP in the dark, Crosslink in the light,
Recycle to monomer under vacuum overnight.
Degrade in acid or with a lot of O2,
Oh DHF this is an ode to you.

Thank you @newsagents.bsky.social for a fantastic evening last night! The perfect way for @maryknewman.bsky.social and I to celebrate our 3 year anniversary.
Brilliant to cap the trip off by bumping into @lewisgoodall.com in the hotel lift this morning!

Welcome to BlueSky @mmwestwood.bsky.social! 🧪
And thank you for a wonderful long weekend in Gothenburg 🇸🇪
Sign for Diamond Light Source.
Experimental hitch for I22 beam line.
Kam, Bonny, and Mati with I22.
Recovering from a brilliant and tiring week at Diamond Light Source’s I22 beam line!
We can’t wait to share our exciting results soon… 😁

Yesterday I presented the latest work from the @williamsgroupox.bsky.social at The Sustainable Chemicals and Materials Manufacturing Hub (SCHEMA)’s Sustainable Elastomers & Plastics Workshop.

What an incredible week at #GYSS in Singapore!
I had a wonderful time presenting my recent work and moderating the discussion on Advanced Materials.
I got to know so many incredible young scientists and am leaving Singapore inspired by all the outstanding talks!

So excited to be in Singapore for the Global Young Scientists Summit 2025!
Honoured to have been selected to represent @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social this week 🧪💚
This #ChemSci TOC managed to work in a dual-wielding Mexican shark. As such, I give it 10/10. Feliz Navidad. #chemsky

A very merry Christmas from the Williams Group! 🎄💚
Very exciting work! Using machine learning to predict the mechanical properties of sustainable polymeric materials 👇
Oh no haha 3 x 1 volume 😅
Three copies of a PhD thesis stacked on a wooden desk. Reading “K. C. Poon DPhil 2024” on the spine and the Oxford coat of arms on the front.
A very exciting day getting to pick up these beauties 🤩🧪📚
Such a difficult decision… 🤔
It's been known in the sector for some time, but finally the BBC has caught up with the impending closure of Chemistry at Hull - a well-regarded department with very high local value to the East Yorkshire economy and chemicals industry.

Done!! 🧪
Very important interview with Kim Leadbeater, well worth a listen. She speaks with knowledge & compassion about this subject. She’s an impressive MP, drawn to public service by personal tragedy. Well done @lewisgoodall.com

Hi #ChemSky! 👋 We see you! Please give us a moment to get settled here.
I forgot to pack my notebook today and I leant I’m unable to function without it… can’t think without my little book of scribbles 🥴
