It didn't collapse overnight! Some defects were introduced, which will probably result in peak broadening in the PXRD. Also a passivation surface layer has been added and surface absorbed atoms

Layer 3 done! Will it collapse overnight? Probably. Did i have fun? Most definitely! 😂

Layer 2 done- added some reinforcement and this must be a flexible MOF, because the guests are structurally integral

Making a MOF cake in honour of the Nobel Prize. Wish me luck! (Already some rotational disorder in some of the ligands)

Thanks! @elamanor.bsky.social designed it for a sticker competition last year, and I modified it a bit to make the decals

Getting crafty preparing for our crystallography workshop. Less than 2 weeks to go, and only 2 bags made. 63 to go!

I'm also working on some synchrotron merch that you might get if you attend the school...

I didn't expect the job of a beamline scientist would involve so much time with a screwdriver, but I'm not mad 👩🔧 Job of the day: turn a bunch of 8 shelf sample holders into 7 shelf sample holders

New skill unlocked that I didn't expect to learn when I became a beamline scientist 🔌⚡️👩🔧 My first relay board, which will become part of the detector safety system in MX3

Just recieved my Atlas of Fourier Transforms that I backed on kickstarter last year. It might be the most beautiful book I own 😍🥰💎

Much excitement today with the very first users *ever* on MX3. Pretty amazing that in a few short years the old dewar handling area has turned into a fully functioning beamline! So keen for all the science to come! 👩🔬🧪💎

After I wore my Bragg t-shirt (from IUCr2023) so much the print came off, I decided to hand embroider the design. I'm so happy with how it turned out! #crystallographerswhocraft (I don't think I've seen this tag before, but I think it should be one)

My uncle has been a prospector his whole life and found a bunch of gemstones in a creek near where he grew up, never knowing exactly what they were. He dropped off a battered old rivet tin to the 'tron with these little beauties, and today I got to run some of them 😍

If any crystallographer has wondered what it feels like to be inside a crystal, I would recommend the Yayoi Kusama exhibition 🤩💎
