After 2 years of work, our flashMOOC about metal-based antibiotics is now out! The goal was to make an accessible video about the urgent problem that is antimicrobial resistance and how metal complexes could be part of the solution. Very happy with how it turned out!

I'll also miss the beauty of the desert in Tucson 🌵☀️, which has been my home for 15 years. A new chapter awaits in Vienna, but I hope to stay in touch with many friends in Arizona. Thank you for everything and arrivederci! 2/2

This month it was very tough to say goodbye to a wonderful community of students, colleagues and staff members at the University of Arizona and particularly in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry 1/2

As Bluesky is rapidly emerging as the new online gathering place for chemists (and the scientific community in general), I tried making an INORG CHEM starter pack!

If your research involves inorganic chemistry of any flavor and I've missed you, please lmk.

👀 Nope! Have not heard about this from our university officials either. Probably new?

Not a fan of these bubbles in the big halls at #ACSSpring2025. The dystopian look would be acceptable only without the bad acoustics with loud background chatter from other bubbles 🤓

Another 5K Turkey Trot for this slow Arizona runner. After minor injuries and several distractions, this year I am bummed that my pace is still slow but also happy that I am still trying 🏃‍♀️ 😁 Happy Thanksgiving!
