On my bus ride today to #cccongress2023@FedCommChem I met Sainey Cham. I was so impressed. He is the president of the chemical society of Gambia, while a secondary school teacher. He told me there are no MSc program in Chemistry Gambia 🇬🇲 this does not make sense!
A wonderful Gala dinner and Cultural Show put on by @FedCommChem and the Trinidad Ministry of Tourism!
Ft. The Aussies and Kiwis scrubbing up nicely in front of the National Academy for the Performing Arts 🇦🇺🇳🇿 #cccongress2023#ozchem
One of my favourite Keynote talks: Prof Ruchi Anand of @IIT_Indiaa discussing strategies to combat antibiotic resistance. An in-depth story of clever science to identify a new selective target, with useful analogies and excellent visualisations! #CCCongress2023#medchem
Day 2: Multifaceted discussion of @UN SDG 4 Inclusive & Equitable Quality Education, ft. great insights from @petermahaffy, @GlennAdamHurst, Prof Potgieter & the Trinidad & Tobago Minister for Education #CCCongress2023
Flash talk and poster presentation done! It was lovely to see how excited some of the local students were for my research, perhaps we'll have some new Trinidadian PhD students at @UniofAdelaide before too long! #CCCongress2023#ozchem
Day 1 of the #CommonwealthChemistryCongress with some inspiring panels on how chemistry can support the Sustainable Development Goals - particularly partnership and addressing inequality #ccc2023#ozchem
It was a long journey, but safely arrived in Trinidad & Tobago for the #CommonwealthChemistryCongress! The friendliness of the delegates and the comfort of the hotel have definitely softened the blow of jetlag

My first time celebrating the @IUPAC Global Women's Breakfast in Adelaide with the @PukalaLab! A great array of different speakers and a fun chem demo for the students! Thanks @WiC_SA#GWB2023#WomenInScience#ozchem
I'm excited to be heading to Trinidad and Tobago next year with the RACI to discuss how chemistry can promote the @UN Sustainable Development Goals with other early career scientists!
Excited to announce the stellar chemists representing us at the 2nd Commonwealth Chemistry Congress 2023 @FedCommChem Congrats Dr Isobella Stone MRACI @UniofAdelaide Dr Neil Robinson MRACI CChem @uwanews The delegation will be led by our Past President Prof Steven Bottle, @QUT
COVID-19: Test yourself before leaving isolation
Multiple studies have shown people on average are still infectious for more than 5 days and is even worse with Omicron ( https://t.co/O9lwKJl68n ). 🧵1/
@ChemistryNathan@debbiesilvester Yep (2nd time!) And so did all three of the students who I travelled with (sharing accom so not surprising). I tried to mask in the seminars, but felt a bit futile if you wanted to join in on meal times 🙄
That's a wrap on #RACI2022! My brain and heart are buzzing after a week of sharing science, seeing past students blossoming and catching up with my mentors 🥰
Two exceptional Early Career Chemists Dr David Hilko (Griffith Uni) and Dr Isobella Stone (Uni Adelaide) Their support in bringing together the #RACI2022 MCCB Program (heaps of behind the scenes contributions) & leading the Flash Poster Presentations was invaluable.👋👋 #ozchem
Congratulations to all 16 #MBBC#RACI2022 Flash Poster presenters - presenting one slide for one minute to share their research big question and #impact. Stellar effort!! @David_Hilko and @isobellasjs expertly planned and chaired #scicomm @RACInational
