Magnetic Field Effect work featured on @nature cover! Mackenzie, Timmel and Hore groups @OxfordChemistry, in collaboration with @UniOldenburg, demonstrate magnetically sensitive photochemistry in Cry4 protein from the night migratory robin: https://t.co/yT9nS0JPOr

New paper publilshed in PCCP on isotopologue-resolved fragmentation dynamics! A first joint paper with the Paterson group at Heriot Watt as part of @Mol_Scattering as part of PCCP Size Effects in Chemistry and Physics of Clusters Special Edition https://t.co/jfrT5qq6zy

So "doctor hats" are a typical German tradition shamelessly adopted in our group. This one for a thesis relating to the quantum basis of bird (esp chicken) magnetoreception:

Congratulations Patrick Murton on his successful DPhil viva earlier and thanks to Profs Erik Schleicher and Michael Cottrell the examiners.

@plmbeckwith @Stumackoxford @MacTimmel @OxfordChemistry That is a 900kg optical table (on which to mount LASERs for stability). 6 had to be craned into the basement because they are too big for the service lift. They join three smaller ones already down there. Big things with which to examine very, very small things.

[SRMGroup_Oxford @GroupMackenzie]

...and, in. Huge thanks to Paul Mitchell and Billy Fox @OxfordChemistry for their help this Sunday morning with the craning into CRL of our optical tables. Before and after (X2):

@GroupMackenzie and @MacTimmel groups @OxfordChemistry causing chaos on Mansfield road as 6 LASER tables dropped into CRL

[SRMGroup_Oxford @GroupMackenzie]

Big week as the @GroupMackenzie labs move buildings into the Chemistry Rsearch Laboratory. New LASER labs ready to be filled......here's the before.... crane arrives on Sunday for another 6 optical tables.

[SRMGroup_Oxford @GroupMackenzie]

1st beam time for @GroupMackenzie at @HFML_FELIX in Nijmegen working with Joost Bakker looking at metal cluster oxides in the far infrared. Peter^2 and Philip working their magic in week 2.

Another champagne bottle (#22) for the @GroupMackenzie collection! Congratulations to Hang Zhou on his DPhil success yesterday. A really challenging project on evanescent wave cavity spectroscopy. Well done! Thanks to @Patrick_Unwin and Prof Grant Ritchie as examiners.

[SRMGroup_Oxford @GroupMackenzie]

Another succesful DPhil associated with @Mol_Scattering ! Now off to Postdoc with Lai-Sheng Wang at Brown University

[SRMGroup_Oxford @GroupMackenzie]

Dr Brewer, I presume...Congrats to Ed Brewer on his successful DPhil viva this morning with @Claire_Chemist and @B_Heazlewood as examiners. He got his money's worth at 3 hours 15 mins!
Yes, that's a Ho[CO3]+ on his head (obviously)

New Grant!
The Mackenzie and Timmel groups (@GroupMackenzie, @MacTimmel) @OxfordChemistry are delighted to announce a new $1M grant from the US Army Research Laboratory to fund people and new instrument development for studying magnetic field effects in proteins.

[SRMGroup_Oxford @GroupMackenzie]

Delighted to see our latest paper from the Oxford-Oldenburg MFE collaboration highlighted as a Feature Article in @JChemPhys

Singlet–triplet dephasing in radical pairs in avian cryptochromes leads to time-dependent magnetic field effects https://t.co/ZODoos6wMP

[Molecular Scattering @Mol_Scattering]

Our first paper on the new metal atom and Ionic Liquids apparatus, https://t.co/ZesGQ0OsPj. Work in collaboration with John Slattery and Duncan Bruce @ChemistryatYork

[SRMGroup_Oxford @GroupMackenzie]

@Claire_Chemist Must reflect the respective lecturers.....(sorry!)

[SRMGroup_Oxford @GroupMackenzie]

It was a pleasure to host our @HeriotWattUni colleagues this week for the external advisory board meeting of our NDMS Programme Grant. Thanks to the Board members and Paschalia @EPSRC for their time.

[SRMGroup_Oxford @GroupMackenzie]

Delighted to report that our own @EPSRC PG postdoc @peterwatson_ has been ofered a prestigious Fellowship by Examination @magdalenoxford @OxfordChemistry Congratulations! Recent FbEs include Profs Ilya Kuprov @ilya_kuprov and Yujia Qing @YQing_ing Big shoes....

Our Oxford Word of the Week from @engfac's Prof @SCPHorobin:

Quiddle: To busy oneself with trivial tasks.

@GroupMackenzie work with the Dopfer @TUBerlin makes the first cover of Natural Sciences for 2023! Electronic spectroscopy of gold dimer - molecule interations. Work supported by the OXF-BER initiative. Thanks to Olaya for the image.

Are your research interests centred in experiment-based Physical Chemistry?
If so then the role of Associate Professor of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry in association with Corpus Christi is the very thing for you. Why not read more about this post: https://t.co/tDA8gQKQaJ
