Our work on stereodivergent deacylative Mizoroki-Heck reaction is online @angew_chem

[Angewandte Chemie @angew_chem]

@dmacxh1 and team disclose a stereodivergent deacylative Mizoroki-Heck reaction for preparing a large variety of alkyl-tethered alkenes from methyl ketones and cyclic ketones under dual Co/photoredox catalysis - Read on: • https://t.co/uSoroRablr

David MacMillan at the @NobelPrize Dialogue in India last week:

“You want to talk about hope? We’re one catalytic reaction away from solving climate change. That’s absolutely true.”

Reposting with additional info:

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 Physicians and Surgeons. General Public Talk. Pathways in discovery and in life; From Bellshill to the US to the Nobel Prize. Open to all

Just to manage expectations, the "brilliantly entertaining" might be a reach!
