Hoping I've enough left in the voice for my lecture to year 3 undergrad chemists this morning after a lot of singing/shouting at this last night.

Happy Birthday to us! Today marks 158 years since our first ever match in 1864 - making us the world's third oldest professional football club, and Wales' oldest. As we gear up for the latest game in our storied history, here's a look back at those 158 years... 🔴⚪ #WxmAFC

There appears to be a cool polyaromatic hydrocarbon masquerading as padding in my cycling trousers. I see 3 coronenes, but then I do like a good coronene.

Molecular repurposing, classic case of how chemistry evolves and relies on older lit compared to other sciences. We prepared that bissulfonamide for a completely different application back in 2011. Now used by the Dong lab in Pd catalysis - something we never imagined. Nice work!
