Better start eating, then. Maybe take the sumo approach to sports training? Wikipedia says that sumo wrestlers drink large amounts of beer, which seems quite promising.

Following #AIChE2025, I had one main aim today & that was to get to Chinatown in Boston & have some dim sum. Thankfully, that was successful (photographic proof attached). My only other aim is to catch my flight home & that seems to be going okay too.

I go to a range of conferences. Last week, at #EuroMOF2025 in Crete, it was metal-organic frameworks. This week it's the geochemistry of Jupiter's icy moons.

EuroMOF 2027 will be held in Lake Como, Italy. Looks like a great venue too.

Great to see an early mention of Hiden instruments @epomm.bsky.social 2025 conference in a talk by Aldo Lanza from Johnson Matthey on "Spatial resolution of catalytic automotive filters & the impact of particulate matter with SPACI-MS".
A Hiden Analytical mass spec was used to implement SPACI-MS.

First impressions of Les Diablerets, Switzerland, are good.
Add in six days of #hydrogen storage discussions & it seems it could be a good week.

The #FOA15 conference dinner last night had one of the grandest venues I've been to in a while.
I'm expecting big things from the conference dinner at the upcoming UKPorMat (@rsc-pormat.bsky.social) in Birmingham. The standard has been set.

It's always good to see @hidenisochema.bsky.social instruments in the wild. This particular specimen is a Canadian IGA...

My walk to work this week at #MEDPore2025 in Marrakech.
Amongst other things, it's been great to meet & chat more to @stecanossa.bsky.social, who also has a similar walk to work.

According to LinkedIn, my profile is "one of the most-viewed".
Wow. Like, what, in all of LinkedIn history!?! That's amazing.

I like this bit. I was going to list who used "unusual", "surprising", "abnormal" or "weird", as @davidfairen.bsky.social & @timeasun.bsky.social both went for "unusual". But I got stuck there.
There are quite a few more options. I think we need more papers on the "peculiar" behaviour of MOFs.

Great stuff from @hassan-azzan15.bsky.social at the British Zeolite Association (BZA) Annual Meeting at Cardiff University. An excellent talk on modelling gas & vapour mixture adsorption in flexible adsorbents.
