Interested in working with us to do either blue LED chemistry and/or reaction monitoring in flow? We have a 600MHz magnet with a H/F/X TBO probe that you would get to play with. Come work with us!!!

It may not look like much yet, but by the 24/25 academic year, this is going to be a brand new, 14 hood lab space. Your bench could be in front of one of these HUGE windows. Come join us at @WaterlooChem for your MSc or PhD studies.

Getting ready for #ICHIC7 in Stockholm. Got my round-trip Arlanda Express ticket and a one-week transit pass loaded into the SL app. What do to first, Nobel Prize museum or flea markets?

Replying to @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland @FP_Champagne
I want to reiterate that IMO it is not appropriate to increase stipends selectively for those with scholarships. Scholarship selection is prone to errors (and biases) & the difference between those selected & passed over can be infinitely small. All grad students need moređź’µ
