Me after I fumble around for an hour with bash and submission scripts to automate something that I could do manually in 5 minutes #compchem

Woodward was not your usual preteen

Wikipedia never fails to disappoint

And that's the end of Day 1, and we've assembled all the TECS cohorts on Indecision (Cantock's) Steps, ft. Sbu Mbatha (she/her), @KristinaClare22 and Jonathan Clayden. Well done today everyone, looking forward to the presentations from Cohort 2020 tomorrow! #beeroclock

Kaiman has cast a spell over the audience in LT2 with his Diels-Alderase masterclass! #BigCheungus #ottoandkurt

Oppenheimer when he came up with the idea for the bomb vs. when he realised its destructive potential

Working up what was meant to be a very peachy reaction 🍑 but the yield soured my mood 🍋 #realtimechem #ladygaga

When you finish a PhD I hear they give you one of these bad boys

Our 2020 cohort just finished a week-long entrepreneurship training course where they even presented a funding pitch to a solicitor, great work team! #TECS #skills #spinup thanks to Ben Miles Spin Up Science Ventures for the training and support 🧪

Did a small-ish scale recrystallisation yesterday - modern alchemy sometimes still involves yellow liquids.. 🧪⚗️ #RealTimeChem

Had a great time at the conference today! Was very thought-provoking to hear about the advances being made across industry and academia towards smarter chemistry #data

Day 8 of our advent calendar and we're remembering when Josie, Kaiman, Joe and Felix attended #Grasmere! They had a fantastic time hiking, drinking and wearing snazzy attire! Thanks to Andrew Smith and the RSC Heterocyclic and Synthesis group for organising! #lakedistrict ⛰️💪

Would highly recommend life in the Willis group! A great position for anyone interested in biocatalysis and Diels-Alderases!

The hot weather over the last week called for a group picnic 🧺 out in UoB’s lovely Royal Fort Gardens!

In highly interdisciplinary work combining synthesis and computation with structural biology and kinetic studies, we describe the complete reaction cycle of Diels-Alderase AbyU. Check out our work, out now in Chemical Science ! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Colourful ideas! Our final year PhD student Kaiman Cheung is presenting his poster at the TECS and Bristol ChemSynth CDTs summer conference on his multidisciplinary approach to exploit Diels-Alderases in synthesis 🧪

We are delighted to present our collaborative investigation of the divergent selectivity of the Diels-Alderases AbyU and AbmU, and their applicability in diastereo- and enantiocontrolled synthesis in our latest work. Have a read in Chemical Science ! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

TECS and Bristol ChemSynth CDTs and Clayden Group student and one of my great friends and housemate Olivia is on Uni Challenge later representing Bristol! Really excited, give it a watch

Big congratulations are in order for our newly Dr Kaiman Cheung who successfully defended his thesis today titled ‘A Multidisciplinary Approach to Exploit Diels-Alderases in Synthesis’. Well done Kaiman! 🧪🧬⚗️🥼📚

Congratulations to everyone who graduated Bristol Chemistry this week but a particular congratulations to our two PhD alumni Josie Harcourt and Kaiman Cheung and our four MSci students Alex, Ayden, Ollie and Rhiannon!! 🥂🎉⚗️🧪🎉🥂
