Back at Bath for #BathChem2025 today and look what I found in the chemistry building!

🚀 #BathChem25 is officially underway! Opened by HoD Matthew Jones with Florian Bay as master of ceremonies. First up – Saiful Islam bringing the science to life in 3D! 👓🔬

Sweet presentation from Saiful 🍋✨ No lemons here — though that ending got a little creepy… 👀 #BathChem25

Next #BathChem25 speaker: Caroline Evans 🎤
Did a PhD just to be called Dr Evans… 3.5 yrs + 1 paper later 🫠
Learnt resilience ✅
Blame Salters Chem Camp at Bath for getting her into teaching — now shaping minds at Wellington College 🧪📚 BTW Didn’t decline an OBE 👑 #BathChem25

#chem25 at @bathchem.bsky.social is underway - Jennifer Carlisle (née Peed) giving her talk and reminiscing about her PhD days…

Jennifer Carlisle (née Peed) patent attorney at HGF, loved Bath’s architecture! 🏛️ Now a part-time working mum of two, she’s glad to be at #BathChem25 even on her day off !!. 😄✨

Two Drifters: Carbon-Negative Rum 🍹⚗️🌱
Russel Wakeham #BathChem25 — “Terrified to speak at a chem department!”
💡 Why don’t people make rum?
👉 “Because it’s difficult — we sold our house to get it going.”
UK Rum Market = £1 billion
Chemistry, Rum & Sustainability = Perfect Mix 🧪🌍🥃

A promotional image for the upcoming Chemical Science symposium, on the subject of imaging, biosensing and diagnostics. The image shows a black background and on the right hand side is a stylised image of an unwanted cell with dendritic extensions, shown in red. It has a purple targeting reticule showing that it is being aimed at for treatment. Surrounding the red cell are a number of blue cells, conveying selective targeting. On the left hand side of the image is text for the Royal Society of Chemistry, along with the logo of the society, which is a stylised “C”. Other text states “Chemical Science symposium, 18-19 November 2025, London, UK” and “Save the date”.

We are excited to announce this year’s Chemical Science symposium, on the topic of imaging, biosensing and diagnostics!

Alongside celebrating 15 years of the journal, the winner of our first Lectureship will be presenting their research!
