[Calum Ferguson @CTJFerguson]

Our paper on the size dependency on photocatalytic reactivity of conjugated microporous polymer nanoparticles has been accepted in @advancematerial. Herculean effort by @Seunghyeon__Kim to make this paper what it is.

@SamParke94 @AstonUniversity @AstonAIME @aicooper Congrats pal I'm sure you will smash it. Great to have you back in the Midlands.

[Sam Parkinson @SamParke94]

Today starts a new journey and i'm excited to say it's my first day as an independent research fellow at @AstonUniversity as part of @AstonAIME. Thanks to @aicooper for having me in his group for the past year. I wouldn't have been able to make this next career step without it!

[Calum Ferguson @CTJFerguson]

@FieldenStephen @royalsociety @UoBChemistry Congrats pal. Smashing it!

[Stephen Fielden @FieldenStephen]

Really excited to announce that I've been awarded a @royalsociety Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship to be hosted @UoBChemistry from early next year. Grateful for the opportunity to build a research group that will study complex nanoparticle systems. PhDs to be advertised soon!

[Matt Gibson @LabGibson]

Happy New Gear day! We have our portable Octets (biolayer interferometer) in place @UoMMIB from @SartoriusGlobal . This lets us advance our glycodiagnostics work for label-free interactions at the bench, in biosafey labs and hopefully in the wild!

[Pratik Gurnani @pratik_gurnani]

Had an absolute blast at @RAPS_Org in Durham, another brilliant meeting. Particularly proud to see members and ex-members of the group presenting their fantastic research, Dr @hulyabyrkttn (now at Cambridge) and Dr @BenFChem. Looking forward to hosting at UCL for 2025!

[Matt Derry @MattDerry90]

Looks like the #RAPS24 meeting was a huge success as usual for @RAPS_Org events! Gutted I couldn't be there but glad I could keep up to date on here. We had representation from the @AstonAIME @AstonEPS team, all of which were first time attendees... 1/4
