In the tradition of @sirfrasersays, I will be giving a talk to 1500 high school students online this morning before heading to San Diego for the @AmerChemSociety meeting #nano#outreach
Sunday at #ACSSpring2025: Start the week off right with these NU Chemistry seminars featuring cutting-edge research!
Begin your day by learning about #electrochemistry with the @geiger_lab.
Today, we celebrate the lives of my predecessor
Prof. Sir Fraser Stoddart @sirfrasersays & noted alumnus Glenn Seaborg. Fraser was to be awarded the UCLA Chemistry Department's Seaborg Medal @uclachem. Our symposium features Ben Feringa, who shared @NobelPrize with Fraser. #nano
Meet Carson Bruns! 👋
Now at @CUBoulder, he was mentored by Stoddart at #NUChemistry and recently shared how @sirfrasersays shaped his path in our alumni spotlight. Read more ➡️ https://t.co/Jl6C3QTksE
This #InternationalWomensDay2025, we celebrate these brilliant women! As pioneering researchers, inspiring leaders, and dedicated educators, they shape the future of science! Thank you for your dedication to #NUChemistry🧪👩🔬

To be your mentee was a sheer delight. It's been a surreal & emotionally demanding day today. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to be with you again. There's comfort in knowing where you rest until we can visit again. Farewell, you old man. See you in the skies & in my ❤️
Many thanks to Fiona for the privilege of delivering my tribute on the special day. I faltered at the end, overwhelmed by emotion, trying to hold back tears. I thought it was not ideal, but @ajavestro said that is what made it perfect. Goodbye, Edinburgh. Goodbye, my dear Fraser!
It still hits me so hard every time I think about you—and all the brilliant minds you’ve touched. Through our tears let us embrace the comfort knowing that you are finding eternal peace and holding Norma’s hands again, your mentorship living on forever in our hearts💜
It’s said a red sky at night is a shepherd’s delight. As I left my office and laboratory this evening for home l felt a bit like a shepherd. In many respects, my life as a mentor of young research scientists is a sheer delight.
