Introducing...

“Introducing…” profiles focus on first-time corresponding authors. There are potentially hundreds of new faces to welcome every year. Unfortunately, we are not able to highlight everyone. Instead, we celebrate the diversity of the chemistry community by featuring individuals from a variety of backgrounds and subdisciplines. In these profiles, authors show their personal and professional sides and tell the stories behind the science.

“Team Profiles” celebrate joint efforts as the basis of an inclusive research culture that enables knowledge exchange through good mentorship, collaborative efforts, and interdisciplinary work. They give insight into academic and social team structures, interactions, and shared experiences; but also discuss challenges and failure as an important part of a team’s success.

“My motto is: “Not every retreat is a defeat.” A reminder that stepping back can be strategic, not a sign of failure… In retrospect I would never again trust that someone else “definitely dried the glassware”…”

“My first experiment was trying to melt rock salt with a blowtorch when I was about 6 years old… I lose track of time when I play the piano. I firmly believe that a hole in time and space opens up and spits me out after hours and it feels like mere minutes have passed…”

Graphical Abstract

Fredrik Schaufelberger Issue ,

“The most inspiring lecture I ever attended was part of a supramolecular chemistry course by the legendary François Diederich, where I first learnt about the mechanical bond… The most exciting thing about my research is that we not only get to make incredibly cool molecules like rotaxanes, catenanes and knots, but also think about how to use them to improve our lives…”
