(Belated) Congratulations to Sean on passing his viva on Friday! An excellent and insightful researcher @EPSRC_CDT_React @impchemistry and also great lab colleague. His work with us and Chris Braddock has been pivotal in so much of our work on catalysis using recovered metals.

Congratulations to @YuQin421 on winning the best talk prize in the Imaging, Sensing and Analytical Chemistry section at the @impchemistry Postgraduate Symposium!! Yu gave a really great talk on her nanogel work for combined imaging and therapy.

Congratulations to Alex, Olivia and Yan on graduating from their MRes courses @CheMResImperial @impchemistry! It was great to see them and have the chance to take some pictures with their proud supervisors and members of the group.

@Kamalylab @RomainGroup Congratulations, Luka!

@impchemistry is celebrating Black history with a talk by Sim Superville, a mentor at the Afro-Caribbean Commercial Science Network and Advanced Product Manager at Benevolent AI! 💻

There'll be dance, food and music, so make sure to join 🍾🎵

[JWElab @JWElab]

Congratulations @ConnorWells_95 @UCLChemistry @impchemistry on passing your viva! It was a pleasure to be part of your supervisory team. All the best for your new role with @Matter_CP!

@Faysall__ Super belated congratulations from all of us at @JWElab! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and thanks so much for all the outreach activities you initiated!

A little story for a wet Friday night. Near my house I found a wallet in the road. When opening it I found a bank card, some cash, a library and a youth club card. And also a front door key. The person who dropped it is 14 and could be locked out so I set out to find him….1/6

Students never believe it when I tell them that PhD vivas often turn in to stimulating and (dare I say it) enjoyable discussions, but Rian was happy to confirm that this was indeed the case, thanks to @GroupThomas and @Britovsek_Group!

[JWElab @JWElab]

Despite the best efforts of the pandemic, Rian (@impchemistry @ImagingCDT) produced a really nice PhD thesis describing his many contributions to our work on CO probes in biological environments. Last week he passed his viva with flying colours! Congratulations, Dr Rian!!

This work in @ACSSustainable on the use of recovered gold complexes in catalysis has now been covered by 24 news outlets!(https://t.co/skyY38Kppk).

[JWElab @JWElab]

Really nice article on our work by @h_dunning. We used SIM cards but you can also use printed circuit boards, printer cartridges etc. to make catalytically-active gold complexes thanks to the technique pioneered by our collaborator Angela Serpe @univca!

[JWElab @JWElab]

@zaynasyed_ @PopSci Very nice article by @zaynasyed_ @popsci on our @ACSSustainable paper reporting catalysis using recovered gold complexes. Worth pondering the next time you are about to throw away a SIM card! Original paper: https://t.co/9tGf2px550

[JWElab @JWElab]

@zaynasyed_ @PopSci @imperialcollege You're very welcome - it was good to chat about the possibilities for recovering and re-using gold from WEEE!

Did you know your SIM card could help make medicines? 📱

Led by Prof James Wilton-Ely (@JWElab), our researchers have used gold extracted from SIM cards as catalysts for reactions that could be applied to making drugs.

It is that time of year again! The JWE group managed to combine testing the lift capacity with the annual Christmas dinner @impchemistry! It was really great that illustrious former members, @hannahperry_93 and @tamzintalkssci were able to join us!
