When Chemistry depts are being decimated at Universities across the UK, the govt needs to focus on resilience further up the chain and fix decades of disastrous mismanagement of higher education. No point safeguarding industry jobs if there’s no graduates coming through to fill them.

I've been posting on conference deadline reminders today - it's that time of year when they fall due. I guess the message is - if you're thinking about submitting to, or registering for, a conference - check the event webpage for the deadline. It's imminent! #ChemSky #BorderCollie pic just because.

A long shot due to the general silence here, but does anyone do vibrational circular dichroism and would like to collaborate on something? #chemsky
