Congratulations!

Lived in Singapore for most of my life but it feels great to give my first (two) talks at NTU Singapore 🇸🇬 last week. Celebrating 🎉 #ACS150 @acs.org with the ACS Singapore Youth Challenge. So happy to see young chemists presenting their research 🔬 @mbsullivan.bsky.social @chemscrapes.bsky.social

At UCD Chemistry, we also organised our inaugural GWB!
