Delighted to say that on Tuesday I successfully defended my PhD thesis and passed my viva with minor corrections! 👨‍🎓🍾 I am also pleased to say that I have started a new position @UniofOxford and have joined @williamsgroupox as a postdoctoral research associate! 🔋👨‍🔬

Can the sequel to Bend it like Beckham be called Kick it like Kelly? #Lionessess

Our first paper of 2025 is now out in @angew_chem! Check out “Structure-Activity Relationships for s-Block Metal/Co(III) Heterodinuclear Catalysts in Cyclohexene Oxide Ring-Opening Copolymerizations” below👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

@ella_fclark @ChemCommun @antoinebuchard Congrats Ella! 👏🏻🥳

Thank you to everyone who was involved in this project, very happy to share this work from my PhD published in @ChemCommun @antoinebuchard 😊 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Congratulations Ella and team for this new study, funded by @royalsociety, showcasing xylose-based polymers as tuneable and bioderived excipients for drug formulation, published in @RSCApplied Polymers. Our first collaboration with @TarescoGroup! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our latest work on “Synergic Catalysis: the Importance of Intermetallic Separation in Co(III)K(I) Catalysts for Ring Opening Copolymerizations” is out now in @J_A_C_S! A huge congratulations to @franfiorentini, @kateisenhardt and Arron! 🥳🧪 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

After 102 games and almost eight years in charge, Gareth Southgate has announced he is to leave his role as manager of the #ThreeLions.

Excited to share my first first-author paper from my PhD published in @PolymChem! In this paper, we've developed a novel platform of functional sugar-based polymers! 🍬 Thanks to all involved with this work! 🥳 @antoinebuchard @BathChem @RoySocChem pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

England - Somewhere Only We Know

Our work in collaboration with @MLBeckerGroup on "Digital Light Processing to Afford High Resolution and Degradable CO2-Derived Copolymer Elastomers" is out now in @angew_chem! Congrats to @kampoon1, Maddiy, @alex_bahnick, @yinmeichan & @BonnyGaoChem🥳 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Congratulations to Professor Charlotte Williams for being appointed to the Professorship of Inorganic Chemistry, one of Oxford's five statutory chairs in Chemistry. 🥳 chem.ox.ac.uk/article/charlo…

Absolutely delighted to become the new @Argyle Head Coach!

✍️ We are delighted to announce the appointment of Wayne Rooney as our new Head Coach. Welcome to Argyle, Wayne. #pafc

1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ club appearances. Last minute winner. First goal at Home Park. Adam Randell. #pafc

A great opportunity to make new polymers 🌲and join a collaborative effort at University of Bath led by Dr Hannah Leese. PhD project available on Portable molecularly imprinted sensors detecting per- and poly fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) ⁦@Bath_IfS⁩ findaphd.com/phds/project/u…

Part of the team is at the #ChemSciSymposium for two days full of polymer chemistry! @BathChem @Bath_IfS (photo very much taken to rival @dovegroup ⚔️)

📢Check out our team's new article in @ACSMacroLett!🧑‍🔬Congratulations Craig and everyone involved @Bath_IfS @BathChem. 💷Thanks @royalsociety for the support. 📰Read: Radical Ring Opening Polymerization of Cyclic Ketene Acetals Derived From D-Glucal pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Update: one column and a recrystallization later and this green oil is now some lovely white crystals

How I'm feeling after today... youtu.be/TkZFuKHXa7w N.B. this reaction was not supposed to be green and I'm not entirely sure why it did. Nice colour though 😅 #realtimechem
