Great to have alumnus @Ed_Johnson_Aus back for the day to hear what he’s been up to with Armes Research Group at The University of Sheffield. Polymer brushes, photosynthetic membranes and molecular photonic breadboards, cool!

Our summer research scholars are hard at work. This is Angus Munday working on graphene with the Chen group. Xianjue (Sam) Chen

Chemistry summer scholar Jess McCourt, working with A/Prof Holdsworth on polymers for extraction of membrane proteins. Her lab coat has signatures of all the collaborators she’s worked with across chemistry and medicine. Go Jess!

We have lots of great scholars getting a taste of research this summer. Here is Declan Murphey, working with the Chapman group making new polymers for drinking water treatment.

Summer research scholars in action. Here is Thomas Laznik, working with the Fallon group on new ways to make peptide mimetics. Thomas Fallon

Ever thought you’d be doing physical chemistry but ended up stuck in synthesis? Here’s summer scholar Briony Munroe at the fumehood again, and still smiling! She’s been working with the Wanless group unravelling specific ion effects in polymer brushes.

Polymer journal club is back: Join us every Friday, 1:40-2pm on Teams (tinyurl.com/ye664fyw). This week we'll look at Ting Xu's new Nature Paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…. It has a really surprising result in it - does this change the way we think about sequence control?

Come and work with us! Our advert for a continuing level B position is live. livehire.com/careers/univer…

Here is our very own Daniel Vadseth presenting some of his PhD research at the #NT23 conference in Arcachon, France. Quantum chemical molecular dynamics simulations showing how 2D materials form in gas phase chemical vapour deposition. amazing!

Travelling with Vipul Agarwal to deliver this years RACI Nyholm lectures. Hopefully all the budding chemists we met will come to UoN for their chem degree and not UNSW…

Exciting new postdoc opportunity at CSIRO in Polymer Chemistry working with Trevor Rapson in Canberra and my group up in Newcastle. jobs.csiro.au/job/Canberra%2…

Stene laying out the celebration for the 1st chem titration comp winners.

Our Chemistry Magic Show is nearly ready for the Marketing news open day this Saturday. If you are in Newcastle come and watch us: 1pm in the Science Theatre.

We had great fun at open day with the first proper run through of our chemistry magic show - we hope you enjoyed it too.

Next week is our end of year research showcase - featuring talks from our undergraduate research and posters from 2nd and 3rd year students. We'll reprise our magic show for lunchtime entertainment. Come along! University of Newcastle

Do you hate plastics? We have 2 PhD scholarships in Chemistry at Uni Newcastle looking at destroying them with polymer coated enzymes. Interntional or Domestic. Come join the team! newcastle.edu.au/study/research…
