I too like charged species

A few years ago we discovered the cloud point temperature of poly(2-oxazoline)s could be supressed by conjugating drugs. Now we show that physical mixing can do the same thing, paving the way for new injectable drug delivery devices. With @dr_nehagandhi + authors.elsevier.com/a/1lWnb3GBFg3is

I know not many of my science friends are on here anymore but here this is. Beyond RGD review 10.1016/j.tibtech.2018.01.008 and Going beyond RGD experimental DOI 10.1088/1748-605X/ab9d6e imgflip.com/i/9azlsu @Dr_Forget

Not often I am a tourist in my own town but yesterday with the family I saw Brisbane from a different angle.

The QLD Chemical Education Group and the @RACIQld are delighted to announce we will be awarding Certificates for Excellence in year 12 chemistry again this year. Year 12 teachers can find out more at raci.org.au/about/branches…

The street environment around Kelvin Grove QUT campus is absurd. The epic climb over ICB northbound on ramp, the sketchy underpass of the northbound Hale St off ramp, frogger adventures across 6 lanes with no crossing at Victoria St etc. We ♥️ this plan. parliament.qld.gov.au/Work-of-the-As…

@brookefarrugia online from stampmore. Highly recommended but let's see how long the ink lasts before a final verdict.

My new stamps arrived! Marking first year chemistry assignments just became almost fun.

@UnwalkableBris1 Still safer than crossing at the lights

We like to play a (nerdy🤓) little game called "Informal streets crossers of Streetview" (snappy innit🙇). Kelvin Grove Road is easy mode for this particular game. You really have to ask yourself if our decision makers and planners get around by UFO!? (Or flying taxi!?)🤔

@LuxenhoferLab I think I've found the least death-defying route. I've cycled it once and will try again when it's cooler (30+C atm). maps.app.goo.gl/4AbD6war6qAxKu…

Chlamydia can reduce male fertility; treatment with antibiotics is ineffective due to chlamydia hitching a ride in other cells. He we showed that liposome nanoparticles with azithromycin can clear chlamydia. With @BenBoyd_Monash @EmilyBryanPhD + others sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@ColetteBoskovic @UniMelb @slizys @BenBoyd_Monash @unimelbalumni @ChemistryUoM @SciMelb thanks for organising this @ColetteBoskovic and @unimelbalumni and your detective work in tracking down people. So great to catch up and see where chemistry has taken people

3o year reunion for the @unimelb Chemistry BSc Honours class of 1993! @slizys @trdargs & others not on twitter. Missed you @BenBoyd_Monash ! Thanks for everything @unimelbalumni @ChemistryUoM @SciMelb #OzChem

@julnicolas @ConversationEDU thanks Julien, it's exciting to have a device on the way to the intended recipient.

@trdargs @ConversationEDU Really cool work, Tim!

Our work on using polymers for koala vaccination is now in The Conversation! theconversation.com/koala-need-the… via @ConversationEDU

@LuxenhoferLab yes, that's next on my list to try but safety is a concern. There are two cycle paths but navigating 2 x 6 lane roads needed to get to each is death defying.

I'm lucky to have access to facilities on the two campuses of @QUT so do the commute regularly and have timed it. The diff is significant but walking 3.5km is doable + have certainty around trip time. I'd do it more often but downsides are major intersections and little shade.

@maththrills @QUTRobotics That was a smart move by you to include your preferred thank you beverage in your slides 😀
