Tomorrow, I will give a Keynote lecture on quantum biology at the Daesung Haiganag Microbes Forum in Seoul, Korea. The event will be streamed live on YouTube in both English and Korean. See more details in the advert. This will be targetted at quite a general audience and my title will be 'Revealing the potential of quantum mechanics hiding in biology'

Prof. Woodward talks about the group's recent work on the 'Finding Genius' podcast.

For the first time, chemistry can be observed in real-time. Turn a magnetic field off, watch cellular fluorescence dim; turn the magnetic field back on, and watch the cellular fluorescence get brighter. Tune in to learn more from the lead researcher, including: A likely explanation for how some anim...

KASC 2020
This year, the Woodward group were the hosts and organisers of the 6th Kanto Area Spin Chemistry meeting (KASC2020). We had a wonderful lecture from Clarice D’Aiello (https://samueli.ucla.edu/people/clarice-d-aiello/) and a full schedule of excellent presentations from students and staff from across Japan. Special thanks go to Motoko Asano for helping arrange the afterparty on Remo. Xu gave a great lecture on his recent work entitled, ‘Fluorescent, magnetosensitive polymers formed by photoexcitation of indole and derivatives.’

SEST 2020
This year saw SEST (http://sest2020.imr.tohoku.ac.jp/index.html) taking place online between the 13th and 15th November. Xu delivered a poster (although due to the online nature, it was far more like a lecture) entitled, ‘Investigation of magnetic field effects on photopolymerisation reactions of flavins and tryptophan by fluorescence microscopy.’ Jonny gave a lecture entitled, ‘Radical Pair Based Magnetic Field Sensitivity Of Native Cell Autofluorescence.’ The after party was held using a piece of software called Remo, which was quite fascinating and allowed partcipants to visit virtual tables and chat with one another – very enjoyable.

Welcoming new members (carefully)!
At the beginning of the current semester, two new member joined the group. Tito Akindele, who is an ALESS professor at UTokyo and will now start collaborating with the group regularly. Onkar Gulati is a PEAK environmental sciences student with a flair for theoretical and experimental science along with mathematics. Due to the covid-19 situation, it has been impossible to welcome them in any formal way, but due to a coincidence of all members needing to be on campus, we got together for a very careful curry! Welcome indeed Tito and Onkar – it is great to have you in the group!

S3IC 2020
The Single-molecule Sensors and nanoSystems International Conference (https://premc.org/conferences/s3ic-single-molecule-sensors-nanosystems/)took place online from November 9th to 11th. This was the first time Jonny had attended this conference and spoke in a session chaired by Martin Plenio. His lecture was entitled, ‘Single molecule spectroscopy of spin correlated radical pairs.’ It was an interesting and very varied meeting and he received some excellent questions about the group’s recent work.

S3IC 2020 will bring together researchers in the rapidly advancing field of Single Molecule Sensors and nanoSystems on November 9-11, 2020 in Barcelona.

Statistical analysis of the light intensity in videos data revealed that the cell’s fluorescence dimmed by about 3.5% each time the magnetic field swept over the cells. © Ikeya and Woodward, CC BY, originally published in PNAS DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2018043118
