We've been very spoiled having wonderful speakers from the @Sydney_DDI and @SydneyChemistry come to talk to high school students about their research and how they ended up working in science - thanks again to @EA_Cairns, @Genevieve_Echo, @LarissaBrazSous
and Dr Geosmin Turpin!
Thanks to @_breakinggood for having me. Super fun to come talk to young bright minds about my research and my seemingly not so traditional career path (although it actually seems like quite a few of us got here in very different ways!)

First batch of reagents ready for the @_breakinggood high school workshops today - very excited to have students in the lab working on synthesising novel drug candidates! #CitizenScience#DrugDiscovery

If this bothers you, check out the exciting work we are doing in @_breakinggood & E$$ENTIAL MEDICINE$ to connect chemistry & health in schools for y9-12 students! @SCOPE_RG@all_isee#RACI2022 😎😎
"Really not much connection being made in any state about the connection between #chemistry and medicine which is a pity as students aren't seeing that link"
Fascinating talk!
Now for the wonders of tech as

So sad to be missing #RACI2022 - I made it to Brissie then tested positive! 😭 Have an absolute blast everyone. I’ll be cheering you from the sidelines!
We’re #BreakingBack! Fantastic day of Depth Studies research with High School students from Hurlstobe Agricultural College. Some brand new @MycetOS compounds will soon be on their way to our collaborators in the Netherlands for testing. We met some wonderful young scientists too!
That's a lot of very murky filtrate for a reaction that was meant to crash out in solution...if there's one thing students learnt in our @_breakinggood high school workshop today, it was probably "chemistry doesn't always go to plan" 😅

My organic chem students decorated my door for the contest at school and it looks amazing!!! 👏👏🎄 Thanks to @compoundchem for the holiday advent infographics!! #chemistree#iamdsisd
E$$ENTIAL MEDICINE$ is an awesome #CitizenScience project for engaging students!
One of the great things about it, is their team of #OpenScientists. Want to learn more about the project or make suggestions for what can be done next? This community meeting is the place to do so
On the agenda for tomorrow's E$$ENTIAL MEDICINE$ community meeting:
💊 Hello and welcome
💊 Project introduction and updates on 2021 activities
💊 Short presentations on recent project outputs
💊 Open discussion on future directions
Looking forward to seeing you there!
In Breaking Good we love engaging students in synthesis of new drug candidates. The added benefit (beyond the potential to find new cures), is the enjoyment and learning of students. Read about this in a new #OpenAccess paper by @yaelago1 and @all_iseetheoryandpractice.citizensci…
At @_breakinggood we love to get citizens involved in chemistry & science research that improve human health. Find out what some of our colleagues at @SydneyNano are doing in this space: clean, 🤖 disease detection and 🧠 health on Thur eve host is our Director @all_isee
