Boron PI Guy Lloyd-Jones is looking forward to his lectures at Indiana University next week. @lloydjonesgroup.bsky.social
During the Feb break, Boron PhD Mia Harris had the privilege of running activities as part of the Discover! Programme. The Discover! programme is a community project that engages with young learners & their families that are underrepresented in higher education. education.gov.scot/resources/ch...
Boron PhD students Masha, Mia and Joanna had a great time at the Craigmillar Community Science Festival last week engaging with young people and their adults over some molymod and glovebox activities inspired by their research.
Congratulations to Boron Co-I Michael Ingleson et al on their recent @rsc.org Journal of Materials Chemistry B paper 🎉

Great to see Acoziborole given a positive opinion by the EMA for the treatment of sleeping sickness. The drug was developed by @dndi.org. @ajbw.bsky.social et al are currently working on benzoxaboroles as part of EPSRC Boron: Beyond the Reagent. Read more about Allan’s work: www.boron.ac.uk
Boron researchers Anna and Mat presented their work at the @rsc.org Main Group Interest Group Annual Meeting & AGM last week.
Anna's talk 'Two heads are better than one – Proximal diborylation of arenes' and Mat's poster were both very well received, prompting some great scientific discussions.
Congratulations to Boron Co-I Andrew Smith, Boron PhD student Martha Prindl and co-authors on their most recent @rsc.org Chemical Science paper 🎉

The RSE has announced that 43 individuals deemed excellent in their field were elected as RSE Fellows in 2026.
In 2014, I visited eastern DRC, where @msf.org teams were treating sleeping sickness - the only available treatment was a drug so toxic it killed 1 in 20 patients. In 2026 I'm so proud that, thanks to @dndi.org, patients can be cured with a single dose of a groundbreaking new oral drug, acoziborole.
