Out now in nature, we show that valuable arylethylamines can be rapidly assembled by the cooperative action of two distinct Cu catalysts, with the azide anion playing a key role in turnover. Congrats to Ala and Yusra 🎉 check out their hard work below👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Had a ball organising the department's first event of its kind with two absolute legends Georgia Harris & Sam Daly. Looking forward to seeing this community grow bigger and better!

Congrats to Georgia Harris (with a helping hand from Trowbridge Group) for publication of her work on photocatalytic asymmetric alpha-tertiary amine synthesis in J Org Chem/Org Lett! 😻🎉 A really neat method for stereocontrol at a-amino radicals. Check it out! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Founding the Queer in Chemistry Network Cambridge Chemistry is one of my proudest moments. For LGBTQ+ history month we’ve decorated department with inspirational queer scientists & organisations. In October we held the department’s first LGBTQ+ event. Things are quickly changing 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I joined SJV in 2020 when I moved to Cambridge. In a time when socialising wasn't allowed, SJV was a vital source of community and has been for the last 4 years. This is a ginormous blow for the Cambridge choral community and for me personally. Please help spread the word!
