Our very last #BraggYourPattern Crystal Explorer kit has been ordered! After 3 years of working on this project, we have finished with 775 sets going to 697 primary schools across Oz and NZ, including some of the most remote schools in the world! #ozchem @IUCr #IUCr2023

Had a great visit recently to my alma mater, Wangaratta High School, to talk about #MOFs, #Nobels, and assorted study and career tips. Always a privilege to talk to kids about the joys of chemistry, particularly country kids who have few scientific role models. #outreach #ozchem

And this is why my flight to #MOF2026 went via Tahiti. Not shown is the hour of him screaming abuse while being sat on by passengers until we landed.

Some people shouldn't drink on planes, or mix the booze with some other things?

Video by @MikeGStein of the guy who is likely thinking about his life choices in a cell in Tahiti wondering how he's gonna get back home!

@GroupHarding More entertaining than the in flight movies. But made for a loooong trip (which is still going).

That was us! Fun times…

Ever wonder what it was like to help create a new field of chemistry? Wonder no more... #ozchem #MOFs

@JessAlgar Literally heard your boss talking all about it today. Beautiful stuff - well done.

[Stuart Batten @SBattenResearch]

Great day yesterday talking to the kids of the LabRats Science Club (https://t.co/gcgExaCbYa) about all things MOFs and Nobels. These weekend science clubs are so rare and wonderful - true diamonds in the rough. Still not convinced about the cardboard cutouts though...

Crystal Explorer Kits have now been ordered by nearly 600 primary schools across Oz & NZ, including a very remote school down the Pilbura dirt track in outback WA shown below. Your school can also get one FREE at https://t.co/AQrSF3gVZ2.

@ClareCosy If his streak also ends in a Grand Final win, I'd probably be OK with it.
