It was a chilly but sunny afternoon when we took what will hopefully become a familiar walk, an annual pilgrimage to visit Fraser's final resting place. No name in place yet but we know he's here, still inspiring us to be the best he knew we could be. Happy New Year #chemdad ❤️💐 See you next time x x

A total shock & unexpected treat that brought me to immediate tears at the end of #MASC2025 🥺🥹 It was so good to see you & hear your voice again, Fraser. Also to know that you were already so excellent & accutely aware of the power of science communication frm early on in your career. We miss you ❤️

“After all, research supervisors are just as good as their students” — Sir J. Fraser Stoddart. A wise take-home message from one of the founding fathers of MASC—who sadly passed away almost a year ago—in a 1991 BBC broadcast. #MASC2025 #RSC_MASC
