Fantastic to finally share our work on regiodivergent C-H silylmethylation out in @NatureCatalysis today, massive congratulations to @JDawklol @LarrosaGroup for all the hard work [nature.com/articles/s4192…]
And just like that, it’s done! Thrilled to share I passed my PhD viva on Monday morning!! Massive thank you to prof Ed Anderson and prof Guillaume De Bo for a great discussion about the work and to the rest of the Larrosa group for an excellent few years!
Really happy to see our catalyst RuAqua featured in this month's OPR&D highlights. If you haven't already, be sure to check it out! There's a great range of exciting work here! @ACSPublications @LarrosaGroup pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We are so excited to share our collaborative work with the @GreenGroupMIB, on the development of biocatalysts for enantioselective SNAr reactions, just out in @Nature!! Massive congrats to Tom, @TListerChem, and all co-workers! 👏 See: rdcu.be/d6moS
We are so proud of you Gill! 😊
I’m very very excited to share that yesterday I was awarded an Outstanding Achievement Award by the department. A great time to reflect on everything we’ve managed to do in the past few years in the lead up to submitting my thesis this month! @LarrosaGroup
Super excited to have had the opportunity to present as a guest speaker on Synthesis Workshop (@MatthewHorwitz1)! If you haven't already be sure to check it out and learn about our brand-new ruthenium catalyst @LarrosaGroup youtube.com/watch?v=g2xHSL…
Delighted to be awarded with a doctoral degree from @OfficialUoM. This degree is dedicated to the planet for providing valuable resources & to the mentors for showing the best possible use of resources.#UOM200 #ClassOf2024 @alumniUoM @LarrosaGroup @UoMChemistry @IISUniversity
What a brilliant conference organised by outstandingly inspiring women in chemistry! I had the honour of presenting my work at EWOC in Birmingham this year and can't believe I won a prize in the Early Careers Section. A truly great 2 days of amazing chemistry! #EWOCEU24 #EWOC24

Was thrilled to be chosen as a finalist at yesterday’s #3MT competition! I had a great time bringing some chemistry to the meeting and hearing about all sorts of exciting research at UoM including everything from beetles to black holes! Thank you @UoMResDev for organising!
Had a wonderful time in Cardiff on Friday at the @SCIupdate Postgraduate Symposium! Great to see the amazing work done by so many extremely talented PhD students! I was also honoured to receive a first-place prize for my presentation talking about the @LarrosaGroup new catalyst!
Most importantly, our poster prize winners were Gillian McCarthur @LarrosaGroup, Sophia Gloria @PulisGroup and Dennis Hartman @UoBChemistry. Well done all for great poster presentations!
What an honour to receive the 2024 Henri Kagan PhD prize from the @DCO_SCF ! Thank you for the trust and congratulation to all the awardees! 🏆
The @DCO_SCF has announced the 2024 prizes recipient! Congrats to all awardees! Find all biographies and information on the laureates here new.societechimiquedefrance.fr/divisions/chim… @SCF_reseau
@LarrosaGroup in Bristol Synthesis Meeting! Amazing day with 5 Top level speakers
