Teaching MO with lego today! Exciting initiative from colleague Dr Schnepp and PhD student Isabelle to develop tactile teaching for different learning styles and visually impaired students. Our @UoBChemistry year 1 students had lots of fun playing... their tutor too! N2 minus.

What happens when you make a DNA-junction binding compound longer? Larger pi surfaces change the DNA target! Just out in JBIC...congratulations to first authors @SJ_Dettmer and Hannah Stock (her first paper from her MSc studies!) @UoBChemistry
