An #orgchem #postdoc position funded by EPSRC is available to work with me and Manuel Müller in the Chemistry Dept of @kingsnmes.bsky.social, along with Prof Craig Butts at the University of Bristol to develop a new generation of foldamer catalysts. tinyurl.com/yc62fa7h #chempostdoc #chemjobs

Another long walk through the capital.

The countdown is on! Registrations close in three days on Friday 27 June, 23:59 GMT. 🔗Register now: foldamers2025.com #conference #foldamers #chemistry #chemsky @kingsnmes.bsky.social @andrecobb.bsky.social @anbismillah.bsky.social

We still have several ECR bursaries for the Foldamers meeting (see foldamers2025.com to register) which pays for conference fees, travel and board! Applicants need to be from or based in the UK but there is still a student rate for those who are not. #chemistry #conference #foldamers #supramolecular

International Symposium on Foldamers

We are delighted to announce that 2025 International Symposium on Foldamers will be held from the 1st – 3rd September and is hosted by King's College London, UK in the Great Hall on the Strand....

Well it’s 20 years of the Cobb group. Any ideas on how to celebrate!?

There's just one month left to register for the 2025 International Symposium on Foldamers! Join us this autumn in London for three days of cutting-edge science, networking & discovery. 🔗 foldamers2025.com #conference #foldamers #chemistry #chemsky @kingsnmes.bsky.social @andrecobb.bsky.social

There are still some places available for oral/poster presentations for the International Sympsium on Foldamers, and so we have extended the abstract deadline to 16th May. We also have a student rate now! Submit/sign up at www.foldamers2025.com - looking forward to seeing you!

Hadn’t been on one of my long walks for a while.. #LoveLondon

Come along if you’re local! And especially if you’re a tenor!

Had a great time at the Indian Peptide Society meeting. Here is a photo of me with the last slide, shamelessly advertising the Sept 1-3rd Foldamers meeting in London. Please come along! www.foldamers2025.com #chemsky

A niche #Chemistry #ChemSky #ChemEd summary, assigning stereochemical descriptors to axial & equatorial chirality. I know some argue these phrases are meaningless, but they're terms used by synthetic chemists. I know others just hate stereochemistry (you weirdos)! Hope it is useful (& corrected)

We are deeply saddened to share that our friend and colleague Professor Amos B. Smith III has passed away. Amos joined Penn in 1973 and was a mainstay in our organic chemistry division. He recently celebrated 50 years of service to @upenn.edu @pennsas.bsky.social.

Throwback to when it got this cold in my lab at Reading. Perhaps coincidentally, the HPLC hard drive corrupted the same day. #chemsky

Weekend walk. Such a privilege to live in the glorious Chilterns.

Come to our concert if you’re about! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/southwark-...

Cobb Group Christmas outing - did they let me win the first game?? #chemsky

I started this Minecraft cathedral a few years ago, but progress has been slow because I only play it with the boychild and he only ever wants to play in extreme survival mode rather than this creative mode. But it’s getting there. Only the transepts and ambulatory to go…. Maybe another 2 years?

Stop working and feed me now. #cats

A really fun afternoon/evening. Hope everyone watching thought so!

KCL Natural, Mathematical and Engineering Sciences@kingsnmes.bsky.social · 2y ago

Thank you so much to our Chemistry professors @andrecobb.bsky.social & @rli22.bsky.social for delivering such engaging and inspiring talks at our final Inaugural Lecture of 2024! From building with carbon inspired by #Lego to exploring protein folding, both have led fascinating careers in research.

Well this is an incredible effort - useful for anyone thinking of creating a starter pack and wondering if their theme already exists!

Ellis Crawford@elliscrawford.bsky.social · 2y ago

Did some tidying up of the links for chemistry related starter packs, arranged loosely by subject area, and added who maintains the list so you know who to speak with if you'd like to be added! tinyurl.com/ChemSkyStart... #ChemSky #Chemistry #Chemists #StarterPacks 🧪

Really looking forward to making new connections and enabling some stellar science! #chemsky

Congratulations to King's Chemist @andrecobb.bsky.social who will be leading a new nationwide network exploring artificial molecules - 'foldamers' - thanks EPSRC funding. This emerging technology has wide-ranging applications for health, materials and net zero solutions Read more: loom.ly/TwLpCDA

OK. Anyone in London and free on the 27th Nov evening should come to my choir thing… eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

As with @professor-dave.bsky.social our boy was excluded from primary school. He was just 5 yrs old and they did more damage to him than you could possibly imagine. He had obvious special needs, but they would suppress him by locking him in the headteacher’s office, /1 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Mum Jo says Jacob is very caring but sensory issues led to him being excluded for disruptive behaviour.
