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

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!

Do you think the John Lewis staff would mind if I took the time close packing my chocolates for the "Fill your own quality street tin"? #chemsky #csp

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!

Congratulations @jennieemartin.bsky.social on this publication.

This work develops a similarity kernel for comparing molecular crystal structures, with evaluation on several ML tasks applied to CSP.

It's great to see this out now in Crystal Growth & Design @acs.org.

Really happy to see my PhD work now published in Crystal Growth & Design with @micheleceriotti.bsky.social and @graemeday.bsky.social

I worked on this through the whole PhD journey and its really nice to have it out and share it!

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.

Student perceptions of an open-source smart worksheet for automated student assessment and feedback built using python - Discover Education
Smart worksheets are an emerging educational technology that supports self-directed learning and provides targeted feedback on student assessment, while also reducing staff marking workload. However, their adoption may be limited by high cost, limited flexibility, and proprietary ownership. This study presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of an open-source smart worksheet developed using Python. This worksheet provides a flexible, interactive platform for performing calculations, analysing data, and receiving real-time feedback. It supports automated grading, dynamic content updates and graphical data analysis. Student feedback indicates high satisfaction with the worksheet’s ability to enhance conceptual understanding and streamline the analysis process, demonstrating that students perceive similar learning benefits to commercial alternatives. Importantly, its open-source nature ensures adaptability across academic disciplines, enabling its use in diverse educational contexts to support assessment, feedback, and self-directed learning.

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

Interesting computational(ish?) fact I learned today: Some specific PSP games can't save to larger memory cards. With e.g 4GB of space, they declare you have less than, say, 128 kB & won't save.

All I wanted was to play Lego Star Wars on PSP in 2025, can't believe they didn't plan ahead for me 😆

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!

I had a fantastic time at the #MMMHub conference this week. I had some really great conversations!

Thank you to all the attendees who voted me runner up for the best poster prize.

I hope to come back next time to talk about even more innovations in crystal structure prediction!

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
