Very pleased to now be Dr Kane 🎉 a dramatic close to an incredible 3.5 years in the Watson lab, and it was great to meet @VarinderAggar11 in the process to talk all things boron 🧪

[Watson Group @watson_group]

Congratulations to our Boron Boii @KaneACB for passing his viva today and becoming Dr. Bastick! A traditional plunge into the sea marks the end of a great 3.5 years - not a bad effort for a Natural Scientist 😉

Many thanks to @VarinderAggar11 and @ADS10_StAndrews for examining!

BREAKING NEWS: The 2024 Noble Prize for Peace has been awarded to Drake and Kendrick Lamar, for musical methods of conflict resolution. The UN has predicted that by 2050, most international conflicts will be resolved with diss tracks in place of military force.

The 2024 Noble Prize in physics has been awarded to Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie for the Barbenheimer effect. This phenomenon, involving the superposition of two very attractive people, allows physics to become interesting, a state which is otherwise spin-forbidden.

A new Review article from @KaneACB @D_Roberts95 and Allan Watson (@watson_group) at @StAndrewsChem

[Kane Bastick @KaneACB]

Implicit or explicit? That really is the question (for the synthetic potential of multiborylated alkanes), out now in @NaturePortfolio @NatRevChem (!)
Huge thanks @allanjbwatson and @D_Roberts95 for the support on this ‘boron behemoth’ @watson_group

Excited to share that I've received funding from the RSC Inclusion and Diversity Fund to run a series of podcasts aimed primarily at the LGBTQIA+ STEM community. Please share this as widely as possible as I'm looking for podcast interviewees!!

Fall 2025 @ACSorganic program is looking great with today's Cope and Cope Scholar award announcement!
Congrats to: @SwagerGroup, Neal Devaraj, @EngleLab, Masayuki Inoue, Liz Jarvo, @swkrska, @MaulideLab, Patrick Walsh, @MPWatsonLab, @drcmwoo and @andrei_yudin

Earning my blue lab coat for voyaging across the pond - great to be settling in with everyone at @andrei_yudin lab @UofT in sunny Toronto! 🇨🇦

[Andrei Yudin @andrei_yudin]

In this @J_A_C_S study led by Alina, we explore the Geraniline family of molecules. We evaluate fascinating planar chirality and synthetic applications of these terpenoid derivatives. Many thanks go to Matt, Chelsey, and Nuro.

My research on Alkenylidene Homologation, enabled by SNV mechanism, is now officially online @Nature! Thrilled to demonstrate how colorful🌈🌈🌈, fully-substituted cross-conjugated polyenes can be synthesized at will. https://t.co/8BSkdvjKMl

You could say that was Laporte spin allowed 👀

Now fully PhD gowned up featuring @TheJohnstonLab @ADS_GroupStA (and a computational imposter..) while @watson_group were on the grind at the Perkin meeting 🧪 Happy to be continuing the current group’s current tradition of donning @john_mcguff’s tartan, the man himself next!

Delighted to share our recent work "Photogeneration of α‑Bimetalloid Radicals via Selective Activation of Multifunctional C1 Units" published in @J_A_C_S. An amazing effort from Lewis, Alessandro, Patrick @funes_ardoiz @peterseeberger @MpiciPotsdam https://t.co/G8WsdsmgGZ
