‘Now if I were you, and I would not want to be you, I’d make sure I knew the difference between a threat and a promise’

I am excited to announce a fully-funded PhD Scholarship in Molecular Bismuth Chemistry (and beyond) is now available in our research group at Flinders University.

Richard Robson always had very small research groups and limited, sporadic funding. This has never been better illustrated than by the acknowledgement slides to the Nobel lectures of Robson, Kitagawa, and Yaghi (only 1 of 4 slides shown below). #ozchem #NobelPrize

1/2 🧪 Iodine is a critical ingredient in the chemical industry as a reagent which converts stable Carbon-Hydrogen (C-H) bonds into unstable and reactive Carbon-Iodine (C-I) bonds – prized for their ability to help change and create new molecules. Read: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Awesome stuff from Marcus. The whole scope of I(III) chemistry we thing can be dialed up to 11 using carborane.

In a couple weeks I’ll be playing 72 holes of golf in a day (carrying the whole way!) in honour of one of the Friday golf crew lost this year to raise money for cancer research. Please consider throwing down a few bucks for the cause!

If the AI can do your assessment and this also bothers you….you can’t do that assessment anymore and are going to have to think of something else.

Of course. It’s called Research, not Refind.

What do you think, can you graduate and get a PhD if you did everything right but didn't get any original results worth publishing? I have a feeling most people would say 'no', but in my opinion it's a 'yes'. Where would science be if we don't try things that can fail?

Here is the promised update! Now the EPA has released their statement we can reveal all the disgusting details of the ‘tar balls’....
...which are actually human-generated waste of fat and grease!
Here’s what @UNSWScience and MWAC found… thread below! 🧵

A great team effort here led by Marcus, for whom ‘this works OK’ was not nearly good enough and spent a year making it work awesome. Want to iodinate a difficult arene but don’t want to use straight H2SO4 as your solvent? This ‘ll do it.
