#Kineticolor wins at Scottish EDGE Final!!! From 400+ application to 20+ winners, we were delighted to receive support to help grow the Kineticolor business. It’s the right momentum at the right time. #EDGE27

Calum Fyfe and I are flying the #Kineticolor flag at the European Symposium on Electrochem Engineering in Glasgow. Bonus: we’re seeing the outcome of a collaboration with engineering colleagues, led by Bailie Morrison (pictured; right). Exciting new application for #ComputerVision this way comes…

New from #Kineticolor: Computer Vision Helps Experimentally Monitor Mixing Effects in Deep Eutectic Solvents Mixing matters, and you have to monitor it over time…and beware of vessel reaction geometry! 🎥🧪 If you can see it, we can help you measure it. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

This week, three members of the #Kineticolor team are sharing our #ComputerVision work at APACT. Come chat to us to learn how you can gain new process understanding by recording videos of your chemistry 🎥 🧪

We escaped…again! It’s always great fun to be out with the #Kineticolor team, celebrating recent papers, projects, presentations, and posters. We found our way out of a witchcraft room with 15 mins to spare. Long may this group tradition continue.

Very much looking forward to sharing a part of the #Kineticolor story for the inorganic community tomorrow!

USIC & Scottish Dalton 2025@usic-2025.bsky.social · 12mo ago

We're so excited for the beginning of USIC 2025! We can't wait to see all the posters and talks from the fantastic attendees and their cutting edge research. Big thank you again to all our sponsors: @rsc.org @unistrathclyde.bsky.social Buchi GPE Julabo MBraun Radleys Dalton

@usic-2025.bsky.social long wait is over. joint Universities of Scotland Inorganic (USiC)/RSC Scots Dalton Conference starts tomorrow at Strathclyde Uni. Plenarys @evaheviagroup.bsky.social Andrew jupp @unibirmingham @clairecarmalt.bsky.social & 21 lectures from early careerists and PhDs. @rsc.org

PhD opportunity in my group at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow! 🧬 Develop imaging & computer vision methods to monitor oligonucleotide synthesis. 📸 ℹ️ UK applicants 🕰️ Deadline 7 Sept 2025. ✍🏼 Email CV + cover letter to marc.reid.100@strath.ac.uk (Subject: PhD 2025).

Today, we bade farewell to the fantastic Hannah Nicklas, following her eye-opening MSc research project. Once more, the #Kineticolor team is reminded that we are a part of all that we have met. We look forward to reporting on Hannah’s forensics-focused research story in the near future!

👨‍🎓A surreal and satisfying day at University of Strathclyde graduations 🥳 Back in 2017, before I had any research team, an undergrad came looking for a summer placement. It so happened to be the summer we spent playing with cameras, tinkering with a side project that later became Kineticolor®️. 🧵

📰 ANOTHER NEW PREPRINT GOES LIVE!!! 📸 Computer Vision Helps Experimentally Monitor Mixing Effects in Deep Eutectic Solvents #SustainableChemistry #ComputerVision #Kineticolor 🔗 Read the preprint: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

We in the #Kineticolor are very proud of these two! At a joint conference for #PhD students across the Universities of Strathclyde + Glasgow, Kristin Donnachie gave a talk and Calum Fyfe shared his poster on some of our most recent adventures in #ComputerVision. As they grow, we grow with them.

I was delighted to return (remotely) to U of South Wales for another edition of the Imposter Syndrome Masterclass! We had a range of Qs to end the session, covering the effect of the (so-called) #ImposterSyndrome on mentoring, management, diversity in leadership, and moving between careers.

Team #Kineticolor out for Barry’s wedding. Left to right: Calum, Kristin, Barry himself(!), me, and Tim. We absolutely 100% manage to go the full day without wondering what we might analyse next.

Our new #Kineticolor paper is out in Analytical Science Advances! “experimental protocols utilising Kineticolor, a computer vision software, were developed to qualitatively and quantitatively study presumptive tests for xylazine detection.” chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Thank-you to CMAC for partnering with the Imposter Syndrome Masterclass again in 2025! What a pleasure to work with the new students in the CEDAR CDT programme. Here’s trusting the tools from the workshop will help you maximise the enjoyment of your exciting journies ahead!

I’m looking forward to serving as one of the #RSCDigital judges for the forthcoming #RSCPoster 2025 event over on LinkedIn. Sign up today to take part from 12pm Tues — 12pm Wed! Good luck, and have fun!!! www.rsc.org/our-events/r...

🏅 Will your #PhD in #Chemistry end with you having the number "VIII" medal? We etch in these PhD medals with the belief that each of us is "A part of all that I have met". We are ready to meet YOU! Our PhD post is open to applications till 16 Feb: static1.squarespace.com/static/5818e...

Earlier this week, Kristin (2nd year PhD) and Tim (postdoc) went to the @roysocchem.bsky.social and SCI ‘Demystifying Reaction Kinetics’ symposium, sharing their stories about non-contact reaction monitoring with #Kineticolor. There’s just one week left for applications on our open PhD position!🧵

Another exciting and engaged outing for the Imposter Syndrome Masterclass! I travelled to Newcastle to deliver a workshop on turning self-doubt into self-confidence for UK- and Netherlands-based blood scientists. It's a delight to be able to share copies of #YouAreNotAFraud 📕 as part of the day.
