Chemistry. Science conferences. Faraday Discussions. Trees. Border collies. Archaeology. Scuba. Not necessarily in that order.
"Must-attend" conference for 2026 on all aspects of biosynthesis research just announced by @rsc.org. Held every 2 years, this edition has another fantastic speaker line-up. Hope to see you there #ChemSky! #NaturalProducts #ChemicalEcology
Oral abstract submission is now open for Directing Biosynthesis VIII, an event that has been connecting #Biosynthesis researchers for over a decade.

Network and discuss the latest research, get all the details and submit: rsc.li/dbviii

Nice little break from transcribing letters: found these doodles of Faraday @rigb.org and Herschel in a letter from novelist Maria Edgeworth (1802-1869) in 1844 @bodleian.ox.ac.uk, writing about Faraday’s Xmas lectures on electricity - pretty solid likenesses to be honest!

When at a Faraday Discussion at the @rsc.org venue, Burlington House, London, it's always good to meet up with the main man Faraday himself, albeit in statue form. Thanks to @faradaydiscussions.rsc.org Editor Michael Rowan for posing with me at #FD_Lignin last week.

This is Manchis. She's the dog of Alberto Mesías Zárate, a journalist in Peru. When her human was targeted this week by criminals who threw an explosive device at their home, she barked at the perpetrators and successfully extinguished the dynamite before it detonated. 14/10 good girl, Manchis
