Really excited for this tomorrow! See you all for the poster and presentation sessions at 9:30-11:30 and 13:30-15:30 @uvic @UVicScience @UVicHumanities @robinGhicks

@CIC_ChemInst @wpiers1 @UCalgary Well done, amigo.

🎖️ The CIC Medal, the CIC's top award, is presented as a mark of recognition to a person who has made an outstanding contribution to the science of chemistry or chemical engineering. Congrats @wpiers1 of @ucalgary on being the recipient of this award. buff.ly/466AtLr

#CSC2023 has run its course. On behalf of the @chemistryatuvic team, I hope a great time was had by all. Major props to @CIC_ChemInst and @DrJTsang for all you did to put on a fabulous conference! Looking forward to #CSC2024 Winnipeg, we’re in great hands with @DavePalmerUSask!

@DrummerBoy2112 Looks similar to a pic I took there several years ago (ok with some extra bits)!

Where the field meets the sky, PEI.

A nice end to my day in the UK. Published today. My effort to amplify all that grad students and postdocs have done in recent weeks. Keep up the great work. For the good of the country, we must pay graduate student researchers a living wage theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

HUGE turnout for @uvic’s @SupportOurSci rally! Thanks to the organizers, and thanks to all the faculty and staff who came out to show their support! @chemistryatuvic @PresidentUVic @robinGhicks

@DrJTsang @queensualumni @queensu Congrats Josephine!

Honored to receive @queensualumni Johnson Award. @queensu has & will always have a special spot in my heart. Grateful for the support of my family, the Queen's community, friends & colleagues through the years. #ChaGheill #WomenInScience #Equity #Diversity #inclusion

@themanndp I remember it well!

Hard to believe it was 37 years ago Bob Douglas and Tyrone Carvery were sick in bed and Augy Jones told the school administration that a grade 12 statistician could coach the biggest game of the year to that point. We beat Parkview in overtime in their gym and that started it all

Ecstatic to announce that #CSC2023 will take place in from Jun. 4-8, 2023 in Vancouver, BC. Theme of the conference: Chemistry at the Edge. Take a moment to read the Welcome Message from Dr. @robinGhicks (@uvic & #CSC2023 Org. Committee Conference Chair) buff.ly/3X3nBld

@chitnislab Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was the Shire. Congrats you two.

And what a gorgeous place too - Mt Doug park in Victoria, Vancouver Island!

@awhspeed @ChemistCraig That is a very high bar to measure up to.

@ChemistCraig FWIW I've been practicing for 19 years, and still can't draw them as well as my first undergrad advisor, Dr. Pincock.

... It's really not that hard to draw hexagons. This looks like it'll just make it more awkward when you try draw 5 or 7-membered rings 🙃

@MarkLautens @BlueMtnWinery Van Westen. @wpiers1 can vouch for this.

Friday evening is #winetime and in celebration of the long weekend we decided to open something really special. ⁦@BlueMtnWinery⁩ River Flow The best Pinot Noir I have tasted from the Okanagan (but happy to hear what else I should purchase and taste). Recommendations??

@pkennepohl @alibiroom @JenLoveChem Very cool but I fear something is very wrong with your beers

Kind of crazy to be hanging out in our old neighbourhood at the one and only @alibiroom. #memories

On behalf of the #CSC2023 @chemistryatuvic organizing committee, I’m very pleased to invite you all to next year’s meeting in Vancouver on June 4-8. Got any new/innovative ideas for us to consider for next year’s meeting? DM me!

Sincere congratulations to everyone involved in putting together a wonderful #CSC2022 meeting. Shout outs to @RolandRoesler and rest of the @UC_Chem host organizing committee, @DrJTsang, and the rest of the excellent @CIC_ChemInst team. 1/2

👏👏 Thank you to the fantastic #CCCE2022 #CSC2022 Organizing Committee for putting together an amazing conference 👏👏 @RolandRoesler @Belinda_Heyne Paul Hayes Robert Marriott Alexander Harrison

@CorriganLab @uWaterlooChem Uhhh yeah we can go with that 😂

@robinGhicks @uWaterlooChem Thanks Robin (and I am taking "old" as meaning "a long time").

It's been quite some time since I graduated from #UWaterloo @uWaterlooChem. I am super excited to announce that I will be returning to that awesome place in July as Professor of Chemistry and Department Chair. Stay tuned!

@westernuchem @GilroyGroup @westernuScience Another Big Time achievement, well done!

Congratulations to Professor Joe Gilroy @GilroyGroup, who was awarded #westernu Edward G. Pleva Award for Excellence in Teaching @westernuScience, and 8 other outstanding educators across our campus. Education is our most important mission! news.westernu.ca/2022/04/wester…

@wpiers1 #honeymix

I'm definitely into the #whatfreshhellisthis phase of my athletic career.
