APnet Leiden is having its kick-off meeting on February 19th to set up a local representation of #AssistantProfessors in Leiden.

If you are an Assistant professor at @unileiden.bsky.social or LUMC, consider joining this meeting to build a string network.

Sign up: fd24.formdesk.com/universiteit...

I am very happy that we again managed to invite two world-leading scientists as keynotes for the 6th Virtual @chembiotalks.bsky.social.

We are working on an exciting additional program. Stay tuned!

Join us at @apnet.bsky.social to amplify the voice of #AssistantProfessors in the #Netherlands.

Very much looking forward to the @led3hub.bsky.social Lecture by Christina Woo (@thewoolab.bsky.social)! I am sure it will be a great one.

If you are interested in #ChemicalProteomics and/or targeted protein degradation #TPD, you will not want to miss it.

@anneosbourn.bsky.social (from @johninnescentre.bsky.social) is today’s @led3hub.bsky.social seminar speaker on Harnessing plant metabolic diversity for food and health applications
#NaturalProducts

Great @led3hub.bsky.social Lecture by @anneosbourn.bsky.social. She talked about the amazing diversity of plant natural products, the gene clusters for their synthesis and their recombinant production for applications in #food and #health.

We are very happy that @anneosbourn.bsky.social from the @johninnescentre.bsky.social visited us today for a LED3 Lecture. She talked about "Harnessing plant metabolic diversity for food and health applications".

I think the latter might indeed be a valuable option. I think the former has some risks as some people e.g. stay Assistant Professor for their entire career, but then do not qualify as ECRs. Also, personally I see the risk that some people may be delayed in promotion to keep them eligible.

Are you interested in cutting edge #Biochemistry and #ChemBio?

Check out our #Biochemistry2026 meeting in Würzburg from March 16th to 18th.

Deadlines for reduced early bird registration fee and abstracts have been extended to January 28th.

Great speech by the new president of @unileiden.bsky.social, Luc Sels, at the New Year's reception of @leidenscience.bsky.social. He gave great insights into his vision for the future of our university including excellent fundamental science, collaboration, internationalization and societal impact.

Very interesting Tuesday Talk by Meindert Lamers at the New Year's reception of @leidenscience.bsky.social. He talked about the power of different electron microscopy techniques to visualize biological samples on length scales from tissues to individual molecules. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Our dean Jasper Knoester addresses our faculty @leidenscience.bsky.social in his New Year's speech. Interesting insights into the future strategic goals of our faculty and great to hear him highlight the priority themes including the @led3hub.bsky.social with new theme leader @mvdstelt.bsky.social.

Proof that you can never keep up with the literature 🤕

Great list @stephanhacker2.bsky.social and thanks for sharing.

wow! Thanks for the shoutout 🥹 Hopefully our papers in the coming year will continue to impress 😉

stay tuned!!

Overall, I hope that 2026 will yield at least the same degree of scientific progress as 2025. (12/12)

Spiro-C(sp3)-atom transfer: Creating rigid three-dimensional structures with Ph2SCN2 The introduction of a single C-atom into organic substrates typically results in the formation of flat molecules containing unsaturated C(sp)-centers. Adding a single C(sp3)-atom surrounded by four σ-...

The Max Hansmann group published that Ph2SCN2 introduces a single sp3 carbon atom into molecules to form up to 4 C–C σ-bonds in one step without using transition metal catalysis giving exciting, highly 3-dimensional structures. (10/12)
