Correction. 2.5%. Regular atmosphere was not far away anymore.

Even flushing the freezer with argon. O2 only spiked to 13000 ppm 🤪 (the screen shortly also switched to percentage...).

The final work to become operational. The repaired freezer of our glovebox arrived. Just had to put it in rapidly in the counterflow in the stupid hope that o2 would not spike too high...

Packing and dismantling our workhorse.

Packing and dismantling our workhorse.
It's getting real and is still unreal. First days @unileipzig.bsky.social, with lots of room to fill (still need to pack our lab stuff in Marburg). I'm a little scared to fully dismantle our large glovebox.

What don't you do for your kids. Trip to Baku with one of zhem to an international math Olympiad. A nice occasion to visit an interesting country I likely would have never visited. Also my first real trip outside of Europe as I hesitate to do such longrange trips. Now I had a good excuse.

On my way to a special birthday symposium/party for the combined 120th birthday of @christianlimberg.bsky.social and @akmeyergoettingen.bsky.social. Looking forward to celebrate with them and moreso to exchange fun stories and anecdotes. 😊

Short stint at my new future office @unileipzig.bsky.social. Nice coincidence that the student club a floor below had an outdoor event. Back to student life?

On the way to the coordination chemistry days #kct in @uni-muenster.de organized by @mueller-lab.bsky.social and friends. Looking forward to getting a new overview of what is happening in the German coordination chemistry community and to have a beer with old and new friends. #chemtwitter

Had a nice, long day at the chemistry department of @humboldtuni.bsky.social. Great insights into current research by @christianlimberg.bsky.social, @braungroup.bsky.social, @joshabbenseth.bsky.social, Ray group and others. The place still feels like home although I left it more than ten year ago.

On my way to a special talk at my alma mater @humboldtuni.bsky.social tomorrow. First presentation there after my phd defense that was a long time ago. Looking forward to great scientific discussions in a different role 😊.

Coming back from the KCT, the German meeting for coordination chemists. The best meeting to get know what is currently driving the coordination chemistry group, and a great opportunity to update on the newest scientific gossip. Wonderful talks by all the PhD students, such as our very own Andres.
