Absolutely loved teaching emulsion polymerization today. Changed teaching style to become way more interactive asking for active engagement of participants. Teach them how to think and discover, rather than simple data transfer of facts. Thanks to everyone involved today! It was a blast. 🥽🍎🧪

Had a fantastic day at Cambridge University to kick off our collaborative new large Reconstructable Nano-Opto-Mechanical Metamaterials (ReNOMMs)project. Ready for some fantastic and fun science the years ahead.

Welcome to all new students to the University of Warwick the coming week. In Chemistry around 200 UGs and 60 PGs will join our vibrant community. I am looking forward to meeting and interacting with many of you. Let's do great science, together! 🧪🍎🥽

A key objective of a university is to teach the next generation. To transfer knowledge in a way that students learn how to reason and innovate. It is not just data transfer. To reinforce this, I will be teaching a lot in the coming academic year, with pleasure. @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social

The use of the word ubiquitous in scientific papers of the last couple of years is indeed ubiquitous. Sigh. 🧪🍎🥽

Interesting discussion with @jamestapper.bsky.social today on the Global Plastics Treaty. The elephant in the room: consumerism and the global economy addicted to it. Without addressing the need to go for durable and repairable products and not opt for "fast" or "single use", humanity will be lost.

Five years ago, during the COVID lockdown I wrote the first version of my polymer colloids course as an online e-book. I am finally converting and updating it to a (digital) textbook, and try it out this fall/winter. After that, the plan is to release it. 🥽🍎🧪

What would be good to see in an EU-UK deal is that anyone with settled status should no longer need a Schengen visa to enter the EU as this currently is a tremendous hurdle thanks to Brexit. @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu #UK-EUdeal
