Most days I love my research group. But there are some days when I *really* love them. #OpenScience #outreach on our lab's windows in central London @School_Pharmacy. Open science is #inclusive, and drug hunters could be walking right here. @O_S_M @MycetOS @OSantibiotics

Cycling in to @School_Pharmacy again, first time since COVID. Things that have changed: 1) Lime bikes, flocking like pigeons. 2) 50% of cyclists have ear buds in. If you don't do it in lab, don't do it on the road, people.

Perhaps surprisingly, we had a talk today from @NASA in @School_Pharmacy providing, finally, a chance to wear my old @NASAVoyager T.

Are you a computational chemist who loves #orgchem mechanisms? We could use a hand in this #openscience project relevant to new #antiviral molecules. Which mechanism is expected to operate in solution? More details at @RahmanSZSaleem @thesgconline

Taking #openscience contributions to the next level. @WhitgiftSchool1 has provided their talented students, who have successfully made molecules for @MycetOS, with their own cool, branded labcoats. I have to get me one of those. @DNDi #mycetoma #NTDs

Seriously long shot, but is anyone running the #baytobreakers race in San Francisco this Sunday, and willing to pick up a bib packet at the race expo (Berkeley or Presidio) for a Brit who is arriving too late to do so. ?.

Deeply fun to welcome students from @WhitgiftSchool1 to @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences to analyse samples of a molecule they made for the #openscience drug discovery project @MycetOS We NMR'd, we mass specced, we figured it out. @ResearchInSch

Love #orgchem? Love palladium catalysis? Love the Miyaura borylation? We do, but there's one we can't get working. We need it to enable high value compounds for #malaria in @O_S_M. See for more. #openscience @yinuo_w @MedsforMalaria @thesgconline

Yesterday's board dinner of @thesgconline at @UofT Faculty Club with @aledmedwards @HalabelianLab @mattschap @ryanmerkley @LabScribbles @CherylArrowsmi1 (& others not on X. ). Such a fun group of talented researchers who advocate, and *do*, #openscience.

Fragments and #openscience ftw! We've 18 frags bound at the interface of SARS-CoV-2 Nsp10 and Nsp14, and now we need to grow/merge/link. Details at Live and online at Fragalysis We can buy/make/measure. @thesgconline #antiviral

An #openscience project needing community help from computational modellers. WDR91 for host-directed antivirals. We've binders + xstal structure. We need to understand the data, particularly the matched pairs. @thesgconline @target2035 @UCLLifeSciences

Several #openscience projects in the lab are nicely poised for community inputs. Here's a peach. One of the @thesgconline Open Chemistry Networks needs some simple ureas. You make, we test. Protocols available. @target2035 @UCLLifeSciences
