Most days I love my research group. But there are some days when I *really* love them. #OpenScience #outreach on our lab's windows in central London @School_Pharmacy. Open science is #inclusive, and drug hunters could be walking right here... @O_S_M @MycetOS @OSantibiotics

@mattschap @thesgconline @consciencemeds Awesome to see this, congratulations!

[Matthew Todd @MatToddChem]

Cycling in to @School_Pharmacy again, first time since COVID. Things that have changed: 1) Lime bikes, flocking like pigeons. 2) 50% of cyclists have ear buds in. If you don't do it in lab, don't do it on the road, people.

Perhaps surprisingly, we had a talk today from @NASA in @School_Pharmacy providing, finally, a chance to wear my old @NASAVoyager T.

This new development in Gordon Square near @UCLChemistry is correct.

Weird wardrobe reversal with @aledmedwards at local @School_Pharmacy pub @SkinnersArms1 @thesgconline

@XinQiu2011 @SheppardTomD @DrZoeWaller @RahmanSZSaleem @thesgconline ...in the protein. We're assuming that, based on predicted behaviour in solution, that that is surprising.

Are you a computational chemist who loves #orgchem mechanisms? We could use a hand in this #openscience project relevant to new #antiviral molecules. Which mechanism is expected to operate in solution? More details at https://t.co/wE5EUfcCrO @RahmanSZSaleem @thesgconline

[Matthew Todd @MatToddChem]

Taking #openscience contributions to the next level. @WhitgiftSchool1 has provided their talented students, who have successfully made molecules for @MycetOS, with their own cool, branded labcoats. I have to get me one of those. @DNDi #mycetoma #NTDs

@DrZoeWaller @PhrmAlliance When you're done for the day, there's a v good toy shop in Chapel Hill if you need gifties for the home crew. Ali Cat Toys. https://t.co/HVt6MW4yEh Bit of a walk, but there are bars en route.

[Matthew Todd @MatToddChem]

@lgamon @jdpereira @O_S_M Thank you @lgamon. Yes, our lab works like this. First thing was https://t.co/60NTselpDM then e.g. https://t.co/ou5VfeZZwU. Spoiler: it's crazy fun. The open source software folks blazed the trail.

Seriously long shot, but is anyone running the #baytobreakers race in San Francisco this Sunday, and willing to pick up a bib packet at the race expo (Berkeley or Presidio) for a Brit who is arriving too late to do so..?

[Matthew Todd @MatToddChem]

@MikeTCook @DrZoeWaller "Holding a steak yet?" my wife texted me during the dinner. Alas, chicken, though good. Next time.

#GetInvolved with #openscience. We've identified #fluorosulfonyls as favored warhead for #DENV RdRp. Details at https://t.co/knnz3tn9au. Do you have #fluorosulfonyls? We would love to test them!

A combination of biochemical, structural, and modeling studies identifies OSM-S-106 as an exemplar of a new chemical class of species-specific reaction hijacking inhibitors. @MatToddChem

Interested in synthesis and synthesis prediction? @s_marsden and I have a PhD studentship that is collaborative with @Exscientia. Enhanced stipend. Open to UK students (and, in competition, to international applicants) https://t.co/IPFXxbQYtd

[Matthew Todd @MatToddChem]

Deeply fun to welcome students from @WhitgiftSchool1 to @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences to analyse samples of a molecule they made for the #openscience drug discovery project @MycetOS We NMR'd, we mass specced, we figured it out. https://t.co/gqWPd8eOBX @ResearchInSch

@aledmedwards Nice way to have spelt time.

[Matthew Todd @MatToddChem]

@grwUCL @ucl @School_Pharmacy @UoN_Pharmacy @AMDD_CDT Boom! Well done @grwUCL ! I trust this will fund all 60 of my PhD ideas.
