It's my first @J_A_C_S paper 🥳
Sounds like bragging but it's a REALLY cool system as it looks so simple but there's much more information hidden inside 🪄
Oh and the TOC was inspired by the game Monument Valley 🤓

🚨🎉I am very proud to share our (@GalliumWu) recent work published in @J_A_C_S , where we use our imine-based photoswitches to drive a transimination reaction energetically uphill🔦⛰️ We are excited to continue exploring this area!😃Check out the paper at https://t.co/YqZMvL7EP2

@Andrew_Sue Thank youuu @Andrew_Sue 😃

[Jiarong Wu @GalliumWu]

There's one more Dr in the world 🥂🎓

📢 🎉🎊 Really honoured to announce that I have been awarded an @ERC_Research StG for our project (HeliOS)💡🌞This project will be looking at out-of-equilibrium helical structures... more soon... (big thanks to those who helped along the way🙏) https://t.co/EJwFtX9nvg #ERCStG

[Jiarong Wu @GalliumWu]

Thrilled that I won the CGCA young researchers award this year on the 37th annual conference 🤗 it was a great honor to present my PhD work to the community, and many thanks to everyone for inspiring discussions 🥰 #CGCA

[Jake Greenfield @JakeyLG]

📢Very excited to announce that our team will be moving to @StAndrewsChem 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 later this month. I am so very grateful to @wuerthnergroup 🇩🇪for support over the last 3-years and stoked for our teams future! Check out an updated website at https://t.co/EJwFtX9nvg 🚨🔦💡

[Würthner Group @wuerthnergroup]

Congratulations to Jiarong @GalliumWu and Rikuto @Rick_Polymer, who both recieved one of the few Excellent Poster Awards @ISMSC2025 in Kyoto, Japan!

[Jiarong Wu @GalliumWu]

Thrilled that I got a poster prize 😀Thank everyone who is interested in our work and for inspiring discussions ✨✨✨ It was a great conference! #ismsc2025

Turning light into leverage—controlling the uncontrollable with a photochemical cascade.
We are excited to share that "Harnessing light to drive a non-photoresponsive reaction out of equilibrium" by Wu & @JakeyLG is our Paper of the Month- May 2025!

[Jiarong Wu @GalliumWu]

Haha as the only two posters from Wuerzburg, 100% success rate 😉

[Rikuto KANNO（菅野陸童） @Rick_Polymer]

What a pleasure to share the excellent poster awards at #ISMSC2025 with my former colleague @GalliumWu !!!
(Also with a great contributed speaker @JakeyLG !!!)

Thanks to all having hot discussions, and I deeply appreciate my former "host" @wuerthnergroup !!

[Andrew Sue @Andrew_Sue]

Our latest @J_A_C_S paper is out! A 2.6 nm metal–organic pillar tubular host that shows anion-dependent chiral self-sorting and selectively recognizes long-chain “bad” saturated fatty acids over “healthy” polyunsaturated ones like DHA.

@KunDaiChemistry @J_A_C_S Thank you! 😊

[Jiarong Wu @GalliumWu]

Episode 6 of our photoswitchable imines... Thrilled to show our new work of N-Alkyl imine photoswitches! Now on @J_A_C_S 👇🏻🍻💡

[Jake Greenfield @JakeyLG]

🚨📢Improving the photoswitching properties of N-alkyl imines, out now in @J_A_C_S 🤔Insights from our previous work led @GalliumWu, Lasse, and I to tune the properties of these N-alkyl systems🛠️, where we also observed isomer-dependent fluorescence!💡🔦🚥 https://t.co/OyiIhRsQ3A

[Jiarong Wu @GalliumWu]

They can assemble on filter paper and show fluorescence 👇🏻
