Day one of our 2025 Crystallography Workshop! Featuring a special pop-up talk from @sbattenresearch.bsky.social about this year's chemistry Nobel Prize, and outreach training where everyone could make their own lolly crystal structure 🍭💎 @crystallised-cricket.com #BraggYourPattern #OzChem

My first MOF (or coordination polymer - it had both alright!) paper 🥰 I learnt a healthy respect for silver and did some fun ligand synthesis for this work that I did in my Honours year

Making a MOF cake in honour of the Nobel Prize. Wish me luck! (Already some rotational disorder in some of the ligands)

Just a little humble brag. Here's me getting my PhD with my supervisors - Bernard Hoskins and newly minted #NobelPrize Laureate Richard Robson. So thrilled for Richard, and thinking also of Bernard tonight (who passed away many years ago but was a crucial collaborator of Richard's). #Chemsky #ozchem

I'm really happy to see that MOFs got the Nobel prize, & that they picked these 3 scientists, who really drove the field. Especially Richard Robson, whose visionary paper showed the first synthesis & predicted the design & functionality of these materials #ChemNobel #Chemsky @rsc-pormat.bsky.social

Fantastic to see one of my chemical heroes, Richard Robson, winning the Nobel Prize for coordination frameworks (MOFs), together with Kitagawa and Yaghi. #ozchem

This is a fantastic day for Australian chemistry. First Australian chemistry Nobel prize since John Cornforth in 1975, but Richard Robson's work is at least as impactful. #ozchem

Been hoping for this for years!! Congratulations Robson, Yaghi, and Kitagawa- all founders of a field I'm very proud to be part of!! #OzChem
BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal-organic frameworks”

Stay tuned for more.

Big party at the other end of town, but very deserved! Glad some aussie science is shining this year in the nobels!

Getting crafty preparing for our crystallography workshop. Less than 2 weeks to go, and only 2 bags made. 63 to go!

Science funding for workforce and infrastructure is a long term investment, in which Australia is getting further and further behind. This article articulates the problem beautifully: theconversation.com/new-report-r...

New report reveals glaring gaps between Australia’s future needs and science capabilities
We have gaps – in workforce, infrastructure and coordination – that will cripple our ability to secure a bright future for the next generation, unless we act now.

Does this count for #BraggYourPattern ?
A 12 petal, red-tipped flower design from a late 4th century AD mosaic set down in the dining room of #Littlecote Roman villa #Wiltshire

Found in 1729, then thought to be lost and destroyed

Found again in 1977 and still visible today

Huzzah!
