Almost time for me to reprise my role as question master for this RSC Top of the Bench event this evening.
Best of luck to all four schools competing in tonightβs Regional Final.
Now that 2025 is here, just wanted to highlight the opening we have for an Organic Chemistry Lectureship at St Andrews again.
Applications close in about two weeks on 22nd January. All the details in the link.

Fraser Stoddart holding a model of buckminsterfullerene in a research lab at Sheffield University in 1988.
Fraser Stoddart sitting in his car on a very snowy street in Chicago in 2019 shortly after his passenger had dug the car out of the snow.
Deeply saddened to hear yesterday about Sir Fraser Stoddart passing away. For me, from Sheffield to the streets of Chicago, across 35 years, it was always an adventure (though mostly with much less snow). Fraser was a force of nature and leaves an enormous legacy. He will be sorely missed.
