The BPEAs are out! Exciting work on energy transfer in organic-inorganic hybrids. Great to be involved in this!

So satisfying...

Fun fact: 93 % of scientific progress relies on sticky tape blu tak and random bits of junk at some point.

Bloody actually on my way to a conference for the first time in ages. And airport rules mean I can have breakfast and a pint. #icsmglasgow2022

Please RT. PhD students funded by @UKRI_News face a cash crisis. They are working full-time, yet earning less than living wage. With the rising cost of living and increasing pressure to deliver high quality research that benefits society, something needs to change. THREAD (1/10)

I am disgusted

@Arran_Solo Hi Arran, We actually have a really lovely stack of Drysyn blocks it just so happened all the 500's were in use!

I've never used a waterless condenser - do you think it has enough cooling power for vigorous reflux when the lab temp is already around 25 oC?
