🤲 What kind of chirality matters to chemists? With @MichelRickhaus and @TomSolomek, we revisit the topic of chirality in our new Perspective just published in @CHIMIA_journal (#PlatinumOpenAccess) chimia.ch/chimia/article… dedicated to chemistry undergraduates✨

Good things come in threes. Earlier this year, Paula published her first paper from her #PhD, now received the CMSZH Travel Award for the best talk at #ChemPosium, and was awarded a UZH Candoc Grant. What a hat-trick! Huge congratulations, Paula! @paulawdr @UZH_ch

Thanks to @michal_juricek from Zurich for his talk @UniFreiburg @FreiburgChem @WerzLab @TobiasSchnitzer @KrossingGroup about building up novel pi systems. Beautiful structures obtained by a radical domino approach!

Molecules can take the high road too, and end up more twisted than they should. In our latest work, kinetic steering funnels the reaction into a single, twisted product, even though several products are possible. chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.26… Big thanks to all co-authors!

#PhD position available in our group! 🙏 Share, recommend or apply! :-) For more info and to apply, follow this link: jobs.uzh.ch/job-vacancies/… @UZH_Chemistry @UZH_ch @snsf_ch #OpenPosition #PhDPosition #ApplyNow #JobOffer #JuricekLab

🖥️➡️📱 Remember when monitors occupied half your desk? Today, you carry one in your pocket — with pixels smaller than the width of a human hair. In our latest video, we show how to build a simple OLED device. ⚛️⚡ @michal_juricek @UZH_Chemistry @UZH_ch @UZH_en

Looking forward! 👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬⚽️🏐

🧪 Can we take caffeine out without killing the flavor? ☕ Decaf might be the perfect drink when we want to avoid a racing heart ❤️⚡, but decaffeination is far more sophisticated than it sounds. @UZH_Chemistry @UZH_ch @UZH_en #CoffeeScience #CaffeineFree

A word of encouragement or a hug can go a long way. It helps us get through journeys where the end is still so far away that we cannot even see it. The support of others makes all the difference. So give it if you can, and ask for it if you need it. ❤️ @paulawdr @UZH_ch

↘️ Dominoes usually fall, but in chemistry domino reactions can build. ↗️ Our latest work on π-radical cascades is out for read: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… @paulawdr @valenta_leos @sabine_richert @TomSolomek @JuricekLab @UZH_Chemistry @UZH_ch @UZH_Science @UZH_en @angew_chem

The paper of Paula and Leoš is out in @angew_chem 🔥💪👏 Congratulations to all co-authors!! Great to see this work out 🥳🥳 @paulawdr @valenta_leos @sabine_richert @TomSolomek @michal_juricek @UZH_Chemistry @UZH_Science @UZH_ch

🧼🤫 Soap’s dirty little secret? It’s made from fat. 🙃 That might sound strange, but it’s exactly why soap works so well. ⚗️ #Fat #Chemistry #SoapScience #Saponification #Micelles @michal_juricek @JuricekLab

Congratulations @CruzCarlosM and team! Go #SPIRANT 💫👏👏👏 First paper as a PI is very special, and you made it count, proud of you, Carlos, keep it up!

👻💊🔦🎯 Medicines without side effects? Yes! Chemistry can make drugs active only where they’re needed. How? With photocages acting like invisibility cloaks and near-infrared light as the trigger. Curious? Check out the work of stacko.group @UZH_Chemistry @UZH_ch
