Had a wonderful week at the CDT advanced characterisation of materials (CDT-ACM) summer school. Fantastic to see all the amazing work my colleagues are doing and I'm now bubbling with ideas for my own research. Huge thank you to the CDT staff for organising the trip!
Looking back on the amazing opportunity I had earlier this year, undertaking a three month placement at VerSoX Beamline at Diamond Light Source, working on XPS and NEXAFS of chiral-modified metal surfaces. I learned so much and can't thank everyone at B07 enough!
Thanks to all the amazing CDT-ACM students for creating a successful summer retreat! With fascinating talks, incredible posters & engaging flash presentations delivered by 4 cohorts of PhD students from @imperialcollege, @ucl & @tcddublin@ImpMaterials@EPSRC

My first big conference! I presented on my PhD work at the @europeanmrs spring meeting, which was a wonderful opportunity to meet the loveliest people, learn So much and explore Strasbourg
The PM started his speech yesterday by saying it was time to be 'honest' with the British people, and yet this tweet is all lies
NONE of these are current Govt policies
The PM is #gaslighting the nation
WELL DONE TO EVERYONE AT @KCL_UCU

Absolutely incredible turnout at today’s protest in London!
Teachers, doctors, civil servants, university workers and more striking together.
We demand fair pay for ALL 👊

Ooh look at her, all this fancy equipment ooh
I got to spend a week using ambient pressure XPS and XAS to study haemoglobin at @DiamondLightSou! I knew nothing going in so quite in the deep end, but it was a fantastic experience &🤞I get to go back for my own work some day soon!
Hey it's me! As seen here trying to remind everyone that violence against women isn't just some weirdo on the street, it might be someone you know, and that needs to be called out too

“If your friends are doing that, maybe ask yourself why you’re friends with them.”
Violence against women and girls is never acceptable. We can all do something to challenge harassment when we see it. 💪

In the first of a series of @Nature features, I looked at ethnic diversity within UK science – and the results were stark. This is not just an injustice, it’s bad for science, because diversity breeds better research. A🧵1/n https://t.co/tMllSo8g0r
@jsecker You could check out @LANS_unibham, which is the interdisciplinary undergraduate course I'm currently doing! Birmingham also offer some cool joint honours like maths and music, or maths philosophy. Hope this helps 😊
@GirlguidingEdin@Girlguiding So excited that you wanted to feature me, thank you @GirlguidingEdin ! If anyone reads this and wants to do the badge, I'm afraid I've run out of physical badges but if you DM me I can send the challenge pack over
The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.
