Helvetica Chimica Acta

Please meet Andreu Tortajada Navarro @antorna.bsky.social @unifrChemistry, member of @helvchimacta.bsky.social #earlycareer international advisory board. This is our 12th #authorprofile, enjoy reading about Andreu. doi.org/10.1002/hlca...

We have multiple PhD and Postdoc positions open in my new group at Masaryk University. Are you an excellent and motivated candidate interested in organic and peptide synthesis and chemical biology? Get in touch! Start in January 2026. www.fialalab.com
Appreciate sharing!

A full room at our 2nd SCS MatChem Symposium in Fribourg, just kicked off by the meeting chair Dr. Andrea Dodero (AMI Fribourg). Prof. Wendy Queen (EPFL) is now diving into how MOFs can contribute to various UN #sdg goals. Looking forward to many more #materials #chemistry talks and posters today.

Stefano Canossa @stecanossa.bsky.social talks about ‘Single crystal diffuse scattering — from mesmerizing patterns to new avenues in
reticular chemistry and beyond’ at @scs-matchem.bsky.social 2nd SCS MatChem Symposium in Fribourg #mat25

Philip Kraft (Advisory Board Member): Many perfumery materials are aromatic and thus difficult to synthesize sustainably. Hagemann’s Ester offers a way out as shown on Nympheal, a new non-renewable muguet odorant. Read about it in Philip's favorite Helvetica article doi.org/10.1002/hlca...

Many congratulation from Helvetica to our Early Career Advisory Board Member Sascha Feldmann @feldmannlab.bsky.social who has been to be included in the Talented 12 cohort of 2025 @cenmag.bsky.social
