Prof. Ferguson delivered a talk “Finding folding funnels frae following FRET fluorescence” at the 3rd Annual Scottish Chemistry Symposium at Northwestern University. This symposium brings together Scottish chemists from the UK and US, and is organized around the annual Burns Night celebration on Jan 25 celebrating the life and work of the Scottish national poet Robert Burns. This year’s wonderful event and Burns Supper were graciously organized and hosted by Professor Sir Fraser Stoddart the 2016 Nobel Chemistry laureate. It was remarkable to see the impact of Scottish chemists in so many diverse fields, and a first for many in delivering a scientific seminar in traditional Scottish dress!
