After much thought, we will be reducing our activity here following recent developments. For open, thoughtful discourse, we encourage you to join @bluesky. Science thrives on collaboration, freedom, and clarity. Let’s build a better space for ideas. 🌌 #ScienceTwitter #Bluesky
To celebrate the 200th anniversary of benzene's discovery and its extraordinary legacy, we are excited to announce that @RoySocChem will release a thematic special issue edited by @FeringaLab and @nazariolab. Read here "Benzene at 200", by Prof. Martín: chemistryworld.com/opinion/benzen…
Just published in @J_A_C_S, one of my main projects @FeringaLab on responsive crown ethers! Redox-switching? Light-switching? Why not both and get the best of all worlds, including guest shuttling, pseudorotaxanes, cascades and and (non)volatile states. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Yesterday, I defended my PhD — closing one of the most enjoyable and rewarding chapters of my life with one of its most unforgettable days. Huge thanks to everyone at @FeringaLab, especially Ben, Lotte, and Lili, my thesis committee, friends, and family.
Our next seminar will be from @MarcoOvalleMA (UGroningen) and @JeanneCrassous (URennes) speaking this Thursday 29th April 09:30 (UK). Register at mascgroup.co.uk/vmasc-4/ to attend and hear talks on helicenes and photoisomerisation!
I am super excited to present my PhD work at vMASC this Thursday! I'm also honored to share the (virtual) floor with @JeanneCrassous Register by following the link down if you want to join the free online seminar👇👇
