The news has been more than a bit grim of late, so hooray for @carbonbrief.org providing some genuine and really meaningful **good** news: the UK's carbon emissions in 2024 were the lowest since 1872, because demand for fossil fuels just keeps decreasing.

I finished off yesterday at the Queens Arms at the pub catching up with Soren Scott who has now been Assistant Professor at @ucph.bsky.social for 15 months! Although we miss him sorely at @interfacial-ec.bsky.social, I am so pleased to see he is going from strength to strength in Copenhagen!

The UK continues to quietly force trans adults to detransition. It was never about trans youth. Doctors in the UK are withdrawing hormones without warning and cutting tags people off even after decades of being on HRT.

What a fun joint🎄 party @titiricigroup.bsky.social and @interfacial-ec.bsky.social had! Thanks to @craigburdis.bsky.social and Morven for the hard work in ensuring it ran to perfection! Who knew Morven was such a karaoke queen?

Congratulations to @romaintort.bsky.social on passing his PhD viva with minor corrections! It’s so gratifying to supervise a student who is not only a brilliant scientist, but also kind, conscientious and a pleasure to work with for all of us at @interfacial-ec.bsky.social!

At @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social we were hugely privileged yesterday to host a talk from @jakobkibsgaard.bsky.social from DTU. We were enlightened about the wonders of mass selected nanoparticles as catalysts for energy conversion reactions.

Interested in using carbon electrodes for nitrogen reduction? Look no further! Well done Craig!!!
I can't think of a better way to open my account than to share my first research output recently out on ChemRxiv! See our efforts and success in employing a carbon cathode in lithium mediated nitrogen reduction where we circumvented lithium intercalation:
