BREAKING NEWS:
The 2021 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.”
The chemsoc team bravely battling the wind to get ready for the second day of #freshersfair2021… Welcome to all our new members!
Huge thanks to Nobel Prize winner Stanley Whittingham @libattery for his talk on lithium batteries at today’s Varsity Sci event! More physics and biology to come tomorrow… #VarsitySci2021
For everyone looking forward to #VarsitySci2021 here is some key information about the event!

The Cambridge BioSoc committee is excited to announce, together with several other Cambridge & Oxford science societies, that we are inviting you to Varsity Sci 2021, a two-day symposium (30/9-10/1) to bring together the best student research from Oxbridge! #VarsitySci2021
Hey everyone! Remember to sign up for Varsity Sci 2021 (forms.gle/hroMD3PmPLzy9vGE7) and get the chance to present your research alongside our keynote speaker Stanley Whittingham, Nobel Chemistry 2019!!
Amazing talk by Prof Matt Kanan from @StanfordUChem on ‘Chemical Solutions to Challenges in Energy and Sustainability’ yesterday - thanks to everyone who attended! We look forward to seeing you all again next Friday for this term’s last talk!
ChemSoc returns with more (online) talks for the Easter Term! We hope many of you will be able to join us for talks about synthesis, sustainable chemistry, materials and more!

With the sun shining, it's time for some ice cream chemistry @compoundchem #RealTimeChem

It's our pleasure to announce the TIGER in STEMM spring webinar series in #chemistry for 2021 funded by @RoySocChem! Fortnightly from May to July, we'll host and broadcast some brilliant speakers in 5 online sessions. 1/n
Thank you to @SaifulChemistry for his great talk! Plenty of laughter and groans for the puns and also a great appreciation for the fundamental chemistry.
We had an incredible turnout from the Cambridge chemistry community for our first talk - here are some of the faces!
Enjoyed giving an evening talk to the Cambridge Uni Chemical Soc @CChemsoc of @ChemCambridge on new materials for lithium batteries & perovskite solar cells.
Here's part of the great turn out for a Friday evening lecture - beer and pizza were optional! #RealTimeChem

Giving a talk on 'Atomic-Scale Insights into Energy Materials (Batteries Included)' to the Cambridge Uni Chem Soc @CChemsoc at @ChemCambridge (16 Oct, 6.15pm).
It's online - so sadly no 3D glasses #3DspecsChem

Welcome to the latest instalment of ChemSoc’s Covid-19 drug series! Today's drug is hydroxychloroquine, probably the most infamous and controversial drug that has been repurposed for the treatment of Covid-19. #Hydroxychloroquine #synthesis #chemistry
The latest data from the UK's recovery trial and WHO's solidarity trials showed that hydroxychloroquine does not result in the reduction of the mortality of hospitalised Covid-19 patients. Therefore, the WHO has stopped the trial of hydroxychloroquine as of 17 June.
The above synthesis was taken from Cronin Lab's GitHub repository of antivirals, which can be found here:
We have written chemical-code (XDL) to robotically make six antiviral drugs (Arbidol; Chloroquine; Favipiravir; Hydroxychloroquine; Remdesivir) & they are on github here: github.com/croningp/Chempute… These will be tested on our chemputers later & a wrapper for other robots is possible
