Today we march alongside +300 NGOs. These events really are ‘festivals of purpose’ with so many standing side by side. Together we send a stronger message for nature. @Natures_Voice @HuntSabs @WildlifeTrusts @XRebellionUK @nationaltrust @RSPCA_official @RiverActionUK, and more!

Attending the #ACSSpring2024 mtg in NOLA - looking forward to hearing new science on the ‘Dynamic World of #TPD From Design to Therapeutic Applications’

[Rick Cousins 💙 🇺🇦 @rickpccousins]

Excellent 1 day mtg on Conformational Design in Drug Discovery organised by the @RSC_BMCS

Small molecule conformation remains critical to success in med chem & tools avail to explain why but prediction of best conformer remains a challenge.

With a $43M Series A @ChemifyX have taken a significant leap forward to turn the idea of organic synthetic lab automation into reality & eliminate the irreproduciblity of chemistry sci to the past. SO much more under the hood here - congratulations to the @leecronin & the team.
