Back in June I cornered a bunch of members of our awesome Advisory Board to ask them a few questions. Here they are telling me what @scixcommunity.bsky.social means to them, for their research disciplines and communities. What a lovely bunch, and what a gorgeous office we have 🥰

Congrats new #ChemNobel Laureates, and brilliant collaborators! Can you spot another famous #NobelPrize winner? Explore how metal–organic frameworks (#MOFs) are transforming research in #EnvironmentalScience, #SpaceExploration, and #SustainableMaterials at scixplorer.org

Me jumping on BlueSky for the first time in months to find Stu and scream “MOFSSSSS!” at him. Wish Fraser was here to see it ❤️
It's MOFs #ChemNobel #Chemsky
#NobelPrize week starts tomorrow & the #chemnobel is Wednesday… used to be so much Nobel chat on Tw*tter, but that is not replicated here, alas. Anyway, for the record, I think MOFs will win at some point (maybe this year maybe not). Balasubramanian & Klenerman a good bet for next-gen sequencing too

It’s all kicking off at @chashub.bsky.social #CharlestonInBetween here in Berlin - plates smashing in response to the opening session 😅 I’m joining the next panel on Libraries Under Attack. Should I wear PPE? Who has risk assessed this event?! 😂

Off to #ChemUK to host The Big Debate, midday on Stage 2. I’ll be wringing all the best insights and expertise from a stellar panel of chemistry-related folks from across academia, publishing, funding and industry to ask what we need to do NOW to secure a future where the UK’s chem scene can thrive.

Had a lot of fun at the London final of #FameLab yesterday. Unfortunately as the runner up I won't be at the national final, but I did win the audience vote!
