Congratulations to Nick Roberts, who successfully defended his MSc on Wednesday. Thanks to Bosco Yu for external duties and Irina Paci for serving on the committee. Nick is now back in Halifax and exercising his 3D design & printing skills in his new job (so double congratulations are in order!)

Excited to begin my NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship at Ruhr University Bochum, working with Prof. @viktoriagessner.bsky.social! I'll be exploring structure–activity relationships of YPhos ligands to advance their use in challenging catalytic transformations. Thrilled to join such a fantastic team!🧪

What better to do on the morning of #CSC2025 than explore some Ottawa trails with @leitchlab.bsky.social, @nelsonyslam.bsky.social and @hoflab.bsky.social ?

Fun visit from Andy @wellerchemyork.bsky.social these last few days - in addition to collecting some high quality data on aminoborane polymers on Friday (thanks @c-killeen.bsky.social), we were treated to a talk today and got in a cycle ride Saturday (the locally-famous 3 ferry loop)

Our latest preprint (led by Jack) involves burying the alkaline earth metals in mausolate ligands. Ba2+ has a very similar ionic radius to Ra2+, so these results of relevance to radiotherapy/imaging
