Every Valentine’s day I’m reminded that this crystal gave me this specific structure 💖
I love my research and it loves me back 🥰

We’re back baby! 🥳
After a long year and a half, we’re back at the DESY synchrotron in Hamburg for some in situ mechanochemistry 💜

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline
A wood-plank path next to a shimmering green lake. Trees with mixed orange, red and green leaves overlook the path, and the photo is filled with dappled sunlight

I’ve followed @tkingfisher.bsky.social for a while on social media and found her very funny and charming. So when I came across “A house with good bones” in a Croatian bookstore, I figured I’d give it a shot!
Started this morning, couldn’t put it down, finished this evening 😅
Absolutely amazing!
An orange beach towel is on a pebble beach with clear blue sea and a blue and orange dusk sky behind it. On the towel lies a book by T Kingfisher titled a house with good bones. The cover is dark with white writing and there are red roses and some kind of masked figure on it
