Last few days to apply! Deadline: Thursday 29th May.

Another beautiful day ☀️ Another great lecture

Thank you to Rachel Grainger from Astex Pharmaceuticals for visiting us yesterday. A captivating talk on automation and HTE in medicinal chemistry. Small organic molecules are still big business!

We will soon advertise a PDRA position in our group. Link to the official advert to follow.

Start date is October 2025, but earlier/later is possible.

Get in touch with Greg now to discuss further. More details/contact info available on our website: perrychem.net/join-us ☀️

Great to see the group enjoying the Bristol Synthesis Meeting. A true highlight of the year for synthetic/organic chemistry in the UK. Love hearing everyone coming back inspired and motivated. Varinder Aggarwal and the organisers always make this a fantastic event.

Now to enjoy the sakura and time with family before returning to the UK in a few days time 🌸 4/4

To give another sense of the scale of the meeting. The pdf for the whole programme was 1,500 pages. Downloaded it once but never again as it crashed my computer 😅 3/4

The best part is seeing so many PhD and undergraduate students presenting their research. I haven't attended an ACS meeting before but will have to see how that compares some day. Not sure we could achieve something like this in the UK, but would be great if we could. 2/4

Very impressed with the CSJ Annual Meeting. Remarkable organisation. ~4,000 presentations and 6,000 attendees. Every session running to time and well attended. All chemistry disciplines represented and events/childcare for families too. 1/4

With us is also Horikoshi-sensei, Sakamaki-sensei and Mino-san from the Hosokawa group!

I've met many people for the first time during CSJ nenkai. Often this has felt quite formal - exchanging business cards, 🙇. So meeting Fujihara-sensei (Kyoto) and Takeda-sensei
@takephos.bsky.social after they led a science event for families will live long in the memory. Great stuff!

Rush hour in Osaka 🚗🚆🛵 Looking forward to the next few days of science at the Chemical Society of Japan Annual Meeting.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend @kozlowskigroup.bsky.social. It is good to see Yoshito-kun (previously @kenitami.bsky.social lab member)! I hope our paths cross again sometime.

He rocked it. Well done Taciano!

Beautiful. Keep these coming!

Group road trip! 🚗 Last week we visited Cambridge to visit the new AstraZeneca DISC facility, explore the corridors of Girton College and attend the International Isotope Society UK Annual Symposium. Looking forward to returning next year!
