“We rarely understand how molecules are synthesised in space but we always know how they are destroyed. Our ignorance should not be used as a rate equation” - intrigued by start of Michael McCarthy Pacifichem talk! #ism #astrochemistry

Before Christmas, I was delighted to be interviewed by the fantastic Bel Smith for this excellent & very extensive ABC News science article (also featuring Jonti Horner). Thanks for the opportunity! abc.net.au/news/science/2…

Absolutely over the moon to share with you the actual data on what model chemistry + what basis set you should be using when predicting vibrational frequencies using #compchem. Median errors < 10 cm-1 possible with B97-1/6-31G*. Let's reduce B3LYP/6-31G* with evidence.

Sharing my proudest achievement for International Women's Day. I love my job!

For the first time, astronomers have found life-supporting molecules called phosphates on Enceladus by Laura McKemmish Dr Laura McKemmish Albert Fahrenbach Albert Fahrenbach Martin Van Kranendonk from the UNSW UNSW theconversation.com/for-the-first-… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

Computers + molecular barcodes + aliens + electrons -> the McKemmish group in a nutshell! It was great listening to everyone's 1MTs and participating at the UNSW Science research showcase. A challenging yet rewarding experience. Congrats to all the winners!

Really proud of my students Juan Camilo Zapata T. and @moleculemaria for this exceptional research! The culmination of Juan Camilo Zapata T.'s PhD showing how newly generated moderate resolution data can be useful to help molecule detection in #exoplanets. UNSW Science UNSW Chemical Society

Thrilled to announced our latest publication! We produced approx IR spectra for 2k+ biosignatures using quantum chem. These data have powerful applications, helping identify molecules behind unknown signals in exoplanet atmosphere spectra. Check it out! academic.oup.com/mnras/article-…

ExoMol announcement: new line list for ZrO by Armando Perri, Fadia Taher and Dr Laura McKemmish. See the MNRAS paper doi.org/10.1093/mnras/… and line lists for six isotopologues of ZrO exomol.com/data/molecules…. Enjoy!

Just submitted my PhD thesis today! It's honestly wild to think that I started this project 3.5 years ago... Thanks so much to everyone who has made this day a memorable experience! Excited to see what comes next 😁
