@ECMTse @HKU_Chemistry @hku_science @HKUniversity Congratulations Edmund 🍾

Tenured! My group members (past & present) are the real heroes! Special thanks to grant agencies for keeping my ET lab afloat. Grateful to my colleagues @HKU_Chemistry @hku_science @HKUniversity and collaborators across the globe! ⚡️⚡️ #SustainabilityResearch #EnergyResearch

Our 2023 EES Lectureship co-winner Hanna Breunig (@BerkeleyLab) was presented with her award by @titiricigroup at ACS Spring last month - congratulations Hanna! Find out more about the EES Lectureship and past winners here: rsc.org/journals-books…

🚨 Abstract deadline extended. Don't miss the opportunity to present at our session on "Sustainable Materials and Polymer Chemistry - CES042". @RACInational; #sustainable #materials; @RoySocChem #pacifichem

Over 120 attendees are already confirmed at this @GordonConf but we still have places left for poster presentations! Please submit your applications asap to secure a place! 😃 #Biomass #catalysis #polymers #biofuels #sustainability #chemistry #foodwaste #processintensification

A reminder if you are at #ACSSpring2025 today that our 2023 EES Lectureship co-winner Hanna Breunig will receive her award at her talk this morning! (11:30, Room 25A)

Corporatised uni management and lack of adequate public funding = crushing workloads for uni staff. @NTEUnion members are campaigning for safe and healthy workloads - and we are starting to win. ✊✊✊💜💜💜
