Congratulations Marilù for passing with flying colours your PhD viva - well done Dr. Losito @lightdynamics1

[LightDyNAmics @lightdynamics1]

Congratulations Marilù! 👩‍🎓🎉

[Susan Quinn @QuinnGroupUCD]

Congratulations Mark Stitch @ucdchemistry @ucdscience @lightdynamics1 on a super presentation of his work on ruthenium complex binding, & photo-oxidation of #quadruplex structures @photoIUPAC2022. Very proud supervisor 😊. Next up posters from @ClaraZehe & @MariaByrne12.

(3/3) In the third experiment, students build their own spectrometer using LEGO! This is then used to teach the students about the concepts of absorption spectroscopy and the Beer-Lambert law. Big thanks to @VerletNet for this one. Read here:

(2/3) In the second experiment, the concept of photochromism is demonstrated with the isomerisation of spiropyran. Students will understand why the colour changes upon absorption of light, and be introduced to the world of photoswitches. Read here:

Congratulations Dr. Castellani! 🎉🎓

[VerletNet @VerletNet]

Elena defends her PhD - well done Dr. Castellani!!! And thank you @lightdynamics1 for all the support!

[LightDyNAmics @lightdynamics1]

New paper out from our ESR Haritha, assessing the role that the position of a guanine cation in an ionised #DNA quadruplex plays on its structural rearrangement, with implications for the initial steps of oxidative damage. Congratulations! Read here: https://t.co/dznmWFIktt

Looking forward to our first in person meeting in nearly two years next week - including these Day of Light and Matter Talks! If you would like to watch them virtually, please send us a message for a Zoom link. @LCPlab @RuedaLab

[LightDyNAmics @lightdynamics1]

Wow, what a fantastic collaborative effort by 3 LightDyNAmics ESRs and 3 PIs in @JPhysChem to unravel the ultrafast dynamics of epigenetic deoxycytidine derivatives, with implications for #DNA photodamage and therapeutic use. Read here:

[James Green @james29892]

Now out in the 125 year anniversary issue of @JPhysChem - a quantum dynamics study of the AT DNA base pair, showing ultrafast intra-base internal conversion preferred to charge transfer. Congrats to Martha for all her hard work on this! @lightdynamics1
