[David MacMillan @dmac68]

I will be back in Scotland during the first week of April, giving some talks in Glasgow and St. Andrews.  The general public talk is non-technical and should be accessible to anyone who likes a little bit of science and some (hopefully) funny stories. The technical talk is about the invention of chemistry to access molecules that can be tested as medicines.  If you are interested in either please come along….. and please stay to say hello at the end.  

Tues April 1, 5:30pm: St Andrews University, General Public Talk. Pathways in discovery and in life; From Bellshill to the US to the Nobel Prize (see attached flyer). Open to all

Wed April 2, 2pm: St Andrews University, Technical Talk. The Development of Asymmetric Organocatalysis and Metallaphotoredox. (Booth Lecture Theatre, Medical and Biological Sciences Building). Open to all

Thurs April 3, 5:30pm: Glasgow, Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians. General Public Talk. Pathways in discovery and in life; From Bellshill to the US to the Nobel Prize. Open to all

@AndreaLaybourn @chemleedsuni @UniversityLeeds Congratulations Andrea!

[Royal Society of Chemistry @RoySocChem]

As tributes pour in for Fraser Stoddart from around the world, we add our sympathy and love to Ali and all his family, friends, students and collaborators.

Read his reflection in @ChemistryWorld, on the whirlwind experience of becoming a Nobel laureate

@HuiGuo8 We all feel the same! :(

[Isil Akpinar @Isil24]

I am very sad to learn of the passing of my mentor, Sir Fraser. His kindness, and unwavering support shaped my career. I will always remember him. He will be missed! Rest in peace, Sir Fraser!

[Northwestern Chemistry @NUChemistry]

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Sir Fraser Stoddart, Nobel Laureate and cherished member of @NorthwesternU. His groundbreaking contributions transformed the field of #chemistry and inspired countless scientists worldwide.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s chemistry laureates Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model, AlphaFold2, to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures.

Check out two examples of protein structures determined using AlphaFold2. First up, a bacterial enzyme that causes antibiotic resistance. The structure is important for discovering ways of preventing antibiotic resistance.
