Mission complete! As a CNRS chemistry ambassador, I did 7 lectures at 7 different places in France in 11 days! 3800 km by trains! It was hard but huge fun to find lots of seeds for future collaboration! Thanks everyone! I will come back!!

Tomoki’s work making non-emissive [6]CPP fluorescent by simple multiple methyl substitution is now out @ChemicalScience ! We hope this simple, yet pronounced ‘methyl effect’ facilitates the design and application of CPP-based materials in various fields! https://t.co/jDIpAR2e1W
