Just random pieces of small happiness. A rose bush I planted a few months back in my front yard produced its first flower.
I love the color!

Wrapping up my trip with a brisk walk through Mayfair to the history-soaked halls of the RSC. London is always nice to visit!

LEGO presented their 400 dollar NCC 1701-D model and I cant lie, I am tempted.
Luckily I'd have nowhere to put it, so that saves me.

It's a study that had been in the making forever! We created polyHIPE particles in continuous flow with remarkable tunability and functionality. All plug and play, easy for everyone to build their own setup!

It is great honour to be this years recipient of the RACI HG Smith Memorial Award. Looking at the list of previous awardees, I am very humbled to be named among many heroes of Australian chemistry.
Thanks to my entire group for making all the wonderful research happening!

Given how scarce it is (and on sale immediately) makes me think im the only person who actually thinks this flavor combination works well.
Anyhow, happy find at the shops!

Wrap up after a truly inspiring conference here in Hefei, Anhui. I learned so much! The future of Chemistry is here.
Now its for keeping my fingers crossed that Typhoon Ragasa will allow me to get home...

A grand conference with mind-blowing talks here in Hefei just started.
While Im very inspired, it also shows how far behind we are in the #Ozchem community. Robotics, ML/AI in chemistry isn't just an idea of the future. It is the present and we need to make sure to stay up to date.

On my way home from the 2025 Faraday Discussions on Polymerization and Depolymerization. It was great fun with lots of good science and many discussions. I learned a lot!
Thanks Charlotte Williams and @antoinebuchard.bsky.social for the organization and the invitation!

Faraday Discussions on the 2nd century of polymerization and depolymerization is on with an introductory lecture by Marc
Hillmyer. Good science, with Oxfords Trinity college as backdrop. Looking forward to all interactions!

Trick your copolymerization to do things it wouldnt do by itself. Make statistical copolymers where normally they would give you gradients. Make gradients where there normally wouldnt be any.
All by the power of automation and data driven chemistry!

Lots of SEC samples ready to be shipped. It took some time to find the capacity to work on it, but now our @iupacpolymer.bsky.social project on SEC accuracy is taking final shape!

The PRunus Domestica (PRDgroup tree II) is making me happy today! It's only its second year, but the flowers make me hopeful.
Much better to spend time gardening than writing grant applications....

After it wasn't possible for me to go to KL in person to receive my recent IUPAC award, I met with @francesbiophys.bsky.social yesterday who kindly brought it with her to Melbourne. Thank you!
This award is testament to the awesome work of my team. Proud of you all!
