In a couple of weeks I’m off to The Young(-ish!) Giants of Chemistry<\/a>, a conference – and related fancy dinners – to celebrate the 65th birthday of Sir Fraser Stoddart<\/a>. There’s a pretty good line up of speakers<\/a> – it’s a combination of former students and postdocs, colleagues both past and present, as well as a selection of prominent researchers who are at least a generation younger than Fraser. There will also be a couple of poster sessions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s short notice, but Edinburgh in June is quite nice (so I am told), and there is some space left, so if you would like to come, check out the contact page<\/a> on the conference website. For those of you who won’t be able to make it, I’ll probably find some time to blog from the meeting – with perhaps a few guest entries, and our next chemistry podcast will also include some content from the event.<\/p>\n
