On the one hand, I'm sad to be missing M&M this year and I hope you're all having a blast 💜

On the other, this is the traffic I'm currently dealing with 🥰

In materials science, much of the interesting stuff happens at interfaces.
Similarly, you're not getting rainbows without sun and showers.

Office birding @york.ac.uk. The oystercatchers are bellowing outside my window again 😅🐣

Lots of things are terrible, overseas and nearer home. I have nothing clever or insightful or heartening to add.

But there's still a little light in the sky, and there's always a little hope for a better future ❤

A ptychographer's seaside: coherent and incoherent wave interference effects 🥰 (and an ice cream on the beach, ofc)

Spending the week visiting folk for some ridiculous ptychography experiments.
Now my brain hurts and I think the wallpaper is trolling me 😅😭

Exciting development- the sun now rises early enough not to need a torch for the commute to work 🥳

Whenever I travel on the East Coast mainline north of York, I try to get a window seat to enjoy the view.

Today I was excited to see the Angel of the North at right about sunrise.

Alas, LNER had other ideas 😅
