CHRISTMAS LIGHT SHOW: This Melbourne family have turned their home into a full-blown light show featuring a remix of Daniel Andrews saying, ‘Get on the Beers’. The display has gone viral, with many calling it “the greatest thing they’ve ever seen”. #9News

We asked Margaret & David – Australia’s most-loved reviewers – to review '2020'. As usual they disagreed. #WarOn2020

This work would not have been possible without @CSIRO (@AlmarPostma, @shaunchoward Ben Muir), who hosted and helped @AntonAASmith and I synthesize our first library of RAFT polymers with their knowledge and expertise of @Chemspeed's Swing XL auto synthesizer!
Really excited about the results from my superstar co-lead author @CMaikawa and the entire @AppelGroup. We designed and screened ⚡️⚡️"AC/DC" ⚡️⚡️ polymer excitements to stabilize ultrafast monomeric insulin and demonstrated improved pk in diabetic pigs!

#PolymerShutdownWebinar Here's the link if you missed it. I managed to watch 2 minutes before curling up into a little ball of embarrassment - do I really sound like that? youtu.be/oCoFQ0s4WM8 – at Cadaujac, France

New video: Simulating an epidemic. What happens when people avoid each other for the most part but still go to a common central location like a store? What if you can track and isolate cases, but 20% slip through the cracks? 50%? And much more. youtu.be/gxAaO2rsdIs

It's fascinating to watch evidence accumulate for the treatment of COVID-19 with the antimalarial chloroquine. This wouldn't be the first time chloroquine (and its derivatives) have exhibited useful "off-target" activity. docs.google.com/document/d/e…

In the spirit of Xmas, for all to enjoy: 'Compositional Drift', This is the tool I wish I had, as a budding RAFTing polymer chemist. It simulates heteropolymer compositions from reactivity ratios and reactant ratios. Available right here: drive.google.com/open?id=1q1…
🆕 report by Prof. Ting Xu and coworkers from @UCB_Chemistry in @ACSMacroLett: "Practical Prediction of Heteropolymer Composition and Drift" Happy to more tools to tailor multimonomeric statistical systems as designer heteropolymers! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
