A big congratulations to Bhavisha for a very successful comprehensive examination last week!🎉

Congratulations to Michèle for winning the oral presentation award at the Chemistry & Biochemistry Graduate Research Conference (CBGRC)! Thank you to Concordia University and the conference organizers for doing such a great conference!

Introducing: Master Max!! Harrison had a very successful MSc. defence yesterday and we wish him all the best in his future career!

We had a wonderful weekend attending the @IDW2025 (Inorganic Discussion Weekend) conference! Thank you to the organizers for such an engaging meeting. Congratulations to Michèle and Sam for winning awards for their presentations!

🔥Excited to share our latest: "C(sp2)–H Bond Activation with a Heterometallic Nickel---Aluminium Complex” Now out in @angew_chem w/ @crimmingroup Work done by PhD student, Joseph A. Zurakowski w/ Benedek Stadler & Mark Crimmin @ ICL! 💪 tinyurl.com/3bbj56nw

Nickel is a highly abundant metal available in major reserves worldwide. It is known for its diverse reactivity, but could it be a candidate for use in olefin metathesis? Find out in our latest article out now in @J_A_C_S! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

and celebrating the end of the week with some former Foggs!

That’s a wrap on #CSC2025! A great week of chemistry, thoughtful discussions, and interesting presentations. Thanks to Michèle, Richard, and Sam for sharing their work!

The Fogg Lab had a fantastic time sharing our science at this year’s OCCI Day! Special congratulations to Michèle for winning the prize for best 5-minute talk! Thank you to the organizers for such a great day, and to Paraza Pharma Inc. for their generous sponsorship.

Get you female role models who send you fabulous fizzies @Fogglab thinking of you on the first proper Wisconsin summer eve and this one of a kind collab in @J_A_C_S

A new Dr in the house!! Eliza-Jayne Boisvert had a fantastic PhD defence today. Best of luck to her in her new position at Impact Chemistry!
