Spot the @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social Research Fellow hiding in the audience of the Royal Institution (hint: it is @camilladimino.bsky.social aka the one dressed as a banana).

I found Prof Andrea Sella hiding at the back of the @ri-science.bsky.social dressed like a banana. What a perfectly normal Sunday night we are having

5 beamtime experiments and many Ridgeway breakfasts later, the cycle is finally over. Kudos to the engineers who kept the @isisneutronmuon.bsky.social beam so stable the whole time!

Super proud that Mirka won the Best Poster prize at the UK Neutron & Muon Science User Meeting!

Now if only her lazy supervisor would sort himself out and return her draft paper, she might be able to publish her award winning work...

#chembiosky vs #nanosky
The fight for #chemsky is on

Next up at #F24MRS is the wonderful Anna Regoutz (aka @bluebananna.bsky.social) who is
(i) always great to hear from if you have any interest in using xrays to understand any interface you might care about
(ii) definitely not a traitor for leaving UCL so she could return to Oxford

Free coffee in hand, laptop at the ready, let's see if I learn about some uranium. Spoiler: I currently know nothing about uranium, so theres a low bar #f24mrs

Let's get this MRS Boston conference underway! First up, a tutorial on thin films. The program assures me that there will be some 2D materials involved #F24MRS

Is there any higher honour as a scientist than a tabloid calling you a "boffin"? Thanks Daily Star, it means a lot
