Gave my first ever full #outreach talk today
Headed to a local secondary school, with another school joining online, to talk to students about crystal structure prediction
Really enjoyed the experience - the students were engaged and asked great, intelligent questions!

At Burlington House today for the Materials Chemistry Poster Symposium to show our work on a new sampling method for molecular CSP and hear what other interesting research is going on. Looking forward to it!

The #luxmuralis light show in Salisbury Cathedral was excellent. Really entrancing to see the projections move around you and very cleverly/artfully put together

Ooh, interesting. This one was vault city's "white Velvet". Technically a sour, but quite mild. Apparently they also have "black velvet", but I'm yet to come across it in the wild 😆

Just had a beer that was opaque white(ish) and I'm still confused by what must be some kind of sorcery. It was also very good!

Spent the day at Burlington House for the Joliot Curie Funding Workshop. It was a really engaging and interesting workshop, learned a lot about the intricacies and the top tips of applying for independent funding. Thanks to the organisers for putting it all together!

I wanted a tiny squirrel for an autumn forest model. But I couldn't find what I wanted individually. What do I do with 50 miniature squirrels?!

We've reached the season for warming dishes, so I made my first attempt at a quorn version of moussaka. Didn't nail the presentation, but it tastes good.
I'm trying to ignore the absolute havoc and devastation of my tiny kitchen right now

Happy weekend, folks!
Time to set aside work for the evening, and I've decided October is late enough to crack open the winter beer.

Not to be all 'woe is me', but the robot ice cream machine in Brighton is closed and this is a frankly devastating blow

Today's fun discovery is a cafe/bar/recording studios inside Bastion 4 of the Hilsea Lines, surrounded by a mix of woodland and old fortifications. Great little Sunday jaunt and did good hot chocolate

All finished now at #EuChemS CompChem2025 and back home again. Had a great time hearing a wide range of interesting talks and lots of good chats at breaks & poster sessions 🧪🖥️
Very cool to see Italy & indulge in all the food too 🍝
It'll soon be time to try and decipher all my notes!

Detour to pretty metro station (Toledo, Naples) came with bonus unexpected science 🧪 with some cosmic rays. Maybe more astrophysics than chemistry, but I feel #chemsky folks would enjoy it

SSC Napoli are playing Manchester City right now. Napoli's home stadium is about 30 seconds from my hotel...But unfortunately they're playing in Manchester 😆

I'm certainly not going to complain about this view for a conference dinner night at #EuChemS CompChem2025. And of course lots of great talks so far too 😆 #CompChemSky #ChemSky

Really enjoyed the wide range of talks at the New Directions in Functional Materials conference in Liverpool today. Nice to learn about exciting research not all in my field, but presented engagingly and accessibly. The "Oooh, fun" voice in my head kept going off

Compulsory timbits pit stop to get me through the rest of the journey. Looking forward to some interesting talks tomorrow!

Now that it's September it's time to start constructing the autumn scene. Unfortunately all the leaves are individual tissue paper pieces - so both the model and my day will be ruined when I open the window
