Lee, Jenny and James made the trip to Dallas for the 2014 Spring ACS, and followed this up with a visit to our collaborators at UNLV, stopping along the way at The Grand Canyon so that James could look at a cactus.

Congrats to Jenny who passed her EPSRC-sponsored MPhil viva in December on ‘Highly Fluorescent Phosphines Based on the Bodipy Scaffold’. This research was funded by a Knowledge Transfer Award with High Force Research: http://www.highforceresearch.com/ Thanks to Dr Jason Lynam (York) for his role as External Examiner, and our own Dr Andrew Pike for his work as Internal Examiner.
Jenny continues her work with the group as an EngD student, co-sponsored once again by the generosity of High Force Research and the EPSRC.

Having only recently celebrated her doctorate, Laura had more good news when she landed a job at the multinational company Johnson Matthey.
Congratulations again!

On the 19th of September Laura successfully passed her PhD viva, after an exam with Steve Archibald (Hull). Laura’s mighty purple tome was entitled Air-Stable Fluorescent Primary Phosphines And Their Potential Applications As Precursors For Disease Imaging Agents. Laura won several prizes during her postgraduate studies notably the SET Silver Prize for Chemistry at the 2012 Research Showcase event at the Houses of Parliament. She also published a nice article in Angewandte Chemie on Air-Stable, Highly Fluorescent Primary Phosphines.
Congratulations Laura!
