My PhD students made this great poster for the Research Open Day, @manchester.ac.uk. It really shows what our group is about: the science, the ideas, the collaborations, and the fun behind it all! 🥳
Very proud of this creative and hard-working team, past and present!

Two Basque cheesecakes this weekend 🫠🍰 One for home, one for a birthday in the group, and to inaugurate the group seminar season tomorrow 🎉

Here’s our new group photo outside the Dover St Building, @manchester.ac.uk !

A couple of our members (Ethan and Nik) are missing from this one, but it’s great to have most of the team together.

Excited for everything we’ll be working on this year! 🖥️ ⚛️

Excited to share that our latest paper has just been published at @pubs.acs.org ! This project began back in my postdoctoral days at @tcddublin.bsky.social, working with Isabel Rozas, so it feels rather nostalgic to see it out now 🥰

Perfect way to end the week: 'We are pleased to inform you that your manuscript has been accepted for publication' 🎉 Have a lovely weekend, all! #compchem #AcademicLife

Just found out a manuscript I rejected twice got published… without so much as a heads-up. Not the first time this has happened. Peer review is voluntary and unpaid; the least journals could do is be transparent. Feels like some “big names” get a free pass. So frustrating. #PeerReview #AcademicLife

Summer 2025: beaches, heat, family, friends, wandering around cities, and way too much good food.
But all good things have an end… so next week, back to Manchester 😄

A great day in Burlington House for the OBC Editorial Board meeting yesterday. Wonderful to see so many of the board in person and to talk about the exciting future for the journal!

Nothing like landing back home after a week away at a conference… to find a lovely rejection email waiting for the funding proposal you’ve been sweating over for months.
👏 Bravo. Welcome home. 😂🎉

Amazing week in Oslo for #WATOC2025.

Best part? Catching up with old friends and meeting new people.

I shared one of our latest projects, and Diana, Tim @jamesob2.bsky.social , and @juliak4czm4r3k.bsky.social presented a poster 🥳

Time to go home!

Great day at NSSC 2025 in London. Lovely to catch up with friends, meet new people, and hear some genuinely exciting science. Some good chats about possible collabs too.
Thanks everyone!

First stop on a very full month of scientific travel: heading to London today for the New Starters in Synthesis and Catalysis (NSSC) 2025 meeting.

Looking forward to connecting with early-career researchers in catalysis!
