@HORIBA_UK @77Jade77 Thanks @HORIBA_UK for your support with the poster prize and for giving us the opportunity to celebrate the excellent research of Jade.

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

Congratulations @77Jade77! Thanks for joining us at the event and for letting us hear about your fascinating work.

[HORIBA UK Limited @HORIBA_UK]

Congratulations @77Jade77 on winning the @MaximisetherISC poster prize for your excellent work on “Thermally assisted fluorescent polymer films for organic electronics via surface-initiated polymerisation”. We wish you good luck with your glowing research! https://t.co/ZI4PxJY2d4

It's a wrap! 2 full days of science. 16 poster presentations. 21 invited speakers. About 135 participants at our maximum. But I am sure there are many, many more new ideas generated in the minds of our attendees. Thanks all, it's been a pleasure. #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

Our final talk of the workshop comes from the early morning of Washington state courtesy of @NadzeyaKukhta. We will have a deeper look into the vibronic coupling in TADF molecules. #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

We have @asromanov5 as our second-to-last talk where we will hear more about the materials design concepts for carbene metal-amides and whether they need to be planar, twisted, or tilted. #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

Our final session of Maximising the rISC is kicked off by Dan Congrave who will be taking us all out to the near-infrared and the unique challenges it poses for TADF. #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

We have @FNCastellano closing the first session this afternoon with an insight into the thermally activated (and unexpected) photophysics of earth-abundant charge transfer photosensitizers. #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

In the final talk before lunch, we had @jesswade present how circular polarisation can be used to enhance the performance of OLED systems and how this intersects with TADF. The video of the beetle chitin was particularly amazing! #MAXriSC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

The second speaker of this afternoon session is Paloma dos Santos who will speak about blue-light-emitting resonant TADF emitters and how we can improve their efficiency. #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

Starting us off after lunch was Iain Wright who showed how homoconjugation can enhance TADF and other photophysical parameters in triptycene-based systems. #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

Our final speaker before lunch was @jesswade who gave us some insight into how to improve OLEDs via circular polarisation and how this can combine with TADF in future. The beetle chitin video was particularly amazing! #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

To open up our second session we have @BHDrummond showing how other techniques such as transient electron spin resonance spectroscopy can be used to reveal the ISC processes involved in TADF. #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

Our final talk of the first session is by David Bossanyi who will be taking us through the behaviour of triplet-pair states in (hetero)acenes. #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

Our second talk is by @EmrysLab who will continue the doublet discussion with more details on the future of radical materials for optoelectronic devices. #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

To start the second day we have @Albrecht_Ken giving us some insight into the world of doublet emitters based on carbazole dendrimers. #MAXrISC #FluorescenceFriday

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

What better way to celebrate #FluorescenceFriday than with another dose of exciting science at Maximising the rISC VR. We reached a peak of about 135 attendees yesterday. Let's hope we can maximise that even further today! #MAXrISC

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

Thanks everyone for a great first day. Excellent talks and a great amount of discussion. More of the same tomorrow! #MAXrISC

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

Our final talk of the day comes from Zac Hudson (in the Vancouver early morning) who will be continuing our exploration of TADF and its emerging applications in bioimaging. #MAXrISC

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

Starting the final session of today we have @CarinaCrucho showing us how we can use TADF emitters for fluorescence imaging via a nanoencapsulation strategy. #MAXrISC

[Maximising the rISC @MaximisetherISC]

To close the third session we have @insilphotochem taking us through Non-Born-Oppenheimer Molecular Dynamics and giving thought to how some of the tools could be used to study TADF systems. #MAXrISC
