Partial #SolarEclipse2023 as seen from #Melbourne. First image taken with all lowest settings on a camera + tinfoil pinhole in front of the lens. The second image is filtered through sunglasses as well 😎

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

@EmmRankinWilson YES! I want them so badly now

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

Great start of the #aipcongress2022 with the amazing plenary talk by Nobel laureate Donna Strickland on high-intensity laser physics!

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

If you thought using a #diamond - with NV centres - as a laser medium was amazing, wait to see the laser output changing when a magnet gets close!
Time to measure very tiny magnetic signals with a diamond laser.

Got boosted! Unfortunately not yet heat resistant thou...

@EmmRankinWilson @BrookeNati No worries, I bought 50% higher doses of tiramisu ingredients!

It's official .... the Gibson & Greentree Lab website is now live .... click on https://t.co/cyiSELBmPF if you'd like to find out more about our #research, #people and #facilities at @ResearchRMIT @CNBPscience #GGLab

@EmmRankinWilson @sunilc_ 😍
Most of those are waaay above my head, but the existence of the project The Fuck just made my day! (Well, no, the opening up of Melbourne did, but this was icing on the cake)

[Brant Gibson @brantgibson]

Congratulations Ivan Maksymov and Andrey Pototsky, for being awarded the 2020 Ig Nobel Physics Prize! @improbresearch @Swinburne @CNBPscience

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

@bb_baconi @EmmRankinWilson And I can confirm on her qualifications :P

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

@EmmRankinWilson Absolutely yes! And now I want hot chocolate as well.

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

@bb_baconi @EmmRankinWilson @AmandaN_Abraham @CNBP_RMIT I will have to balance that out now...

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

@EmmRankinWilson @AmandaN_Abraham D: That seems awesome! I'll look at the 3D model for when the 3D printer will come back online!

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

Doing a PhD is not an easy experience, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. But the group you are part of makes a huge difference. No post or message will be able to express how lucky I feel to have been part @CNBPscience. This is a good start:

[CNBP @CNBPscience]

“My studies had been really focused on physics and nothing else…I wanted to work with diamonds at a centre that takes a transdisciplinary approach.” @MarcoIsTwitting on his journey from Italy to the CNBP and impact of international collaboration. Story at https://t.co/mMb29RsQQf

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

@AmandaN_Abraham @EmmRankinWilson @PatCapon @CNBP_RMIT @andy_greentree That seems a perfect case for Detective Diamond! Let me get my hat and the green laser!

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

I swear my expression has nothing to do with the content of my #PhD completion seminar! It's cool science, you should ask me about it next time.

[Brant Gibson @brantgibson]

@MarcoIsTwitting is now giving his #PhD completion seminar talking about the enhanced creation of ensemble #nitrogenvacancy colour centres in #Diamond for sensing applications @CNBPscience @ResearchRMIT

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

This seems like a nice thesis-writing spot! Now I will have to do most of the work before summer ends thou D:

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

@EmmRankinWilson That's great Emma! Nice job 😎

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

@EmmRankinWilson Thanks! I am looking forward to some summer weather ;)

[Marco Capelli @MarcoIsTwitting]

The snow falls on my last day in Germany. Goodbye to you too Freiburg!
