It's the time you have all been waiting for, the official opening ceremony of #SynchrotronMugMadness 2: Electron Boogaloo. This year we have 26 light sources from 14 countries, 3 competing for the first time, and some new mugs from preivous competitors!

Let's meet the mugs!

@GradSkoolStrugs While you're looking for jobs, make sure you spend time to take care of yourself after such a hard time. Escaping a toxic environment really takes it out on you!

[Dr Wendy Robinson @a_mere_chemist]

@ZJAyres I thought I had this problem too! Turns out my metal is stainless steel with a high proportion of carbon so I was fine to keep using NMR

[Dr Wendy Robinson @a_mere_chemist]

@OrganicBhoy @GraingerRichard @UoBChemistry Congratulations 👏 hope it was a great day!

[Dr Wendy Robinson @a_mere_chemist]

Special thanks to @YSBL_York @UnsworthChem @upfortomorrow and others who are not on twitter for their work and support throughout 😁

[Dr Wendy Robinson @a_mere_chemist]

The product of my PhD finally published! It's been fantastic to work with some great people and add to the biocat field

[Dr Will Unsworth @UnsworthChem]

Happy to announce the group's first collaborative UPO #biocatalysis paper with the Grogan group at @ChemistryatYork is just out in @ChemBioChem - congrats to all authors, especially to first author @a_mere_chemist.

@RhiannaRowland @YSBL_York @UniOfYork Well done! I love the likeness of you and barbie 🤣💙

[Dr Wendy Robinson @a_mere_chemist]

I finally did it, a year and a half later than expected. It took coming over physical and mental health problems, and surviving a pandemic but nothing can stop me!
Thank you @YSBL_York @UnsworthChem @DuhmeKlairYork

@Alex_Sn0w Oh no, what happened here 😱

[Dr Wendy Robinson @a_mere_chemist]

How the PhD started vs how it's going

[YSBL @YSBL_York]

And also very pleased to see YSBL's Prof Gideon Grogan, Dr Mahima Sharma and Dr Henry Man named as part of another fantastic Horizon Prize #RSCPrizes

[Adrian Allan @DrAllan12]

Used paperclips with a class today to show how a catalyst acts as a surface for reactants to come together and form a product. Based on an old magic trick, I got this idea from Paul Nugent from @SonS_Ireland. The ending is a nice surprise for students!

[YSBL @YSBL_York]

In the coming days and until the 11th of February, we will be posting profiles of some of YSBL's women in #STEM in an attempt to celebrate their invaluable contributions to the lab, to science and beyond. Please follow this 🧵– you won't be disappointed!

@CMorrisonLab I'm a third year PhD student in biocatalysis at the university of York (UK). I love proteins, knitting and underwater hockey

[Joana Viana @JoanaFFPViana]

I'm done with the glorification of workaholism in academia. No, it's not ok that you work double of your contract hours, nights, weekends and annual leave. Can we all just stop pretending this is normal? We are in the middle of a pandemic. There are more important things in life.

[Dr Wendy Robinson @a_mere_chemist]

This is pretty disgraceful. Understandably promises can't be made with funding at the moment so promises shouldn't be made by the uni!

[Dr Claire Moulton-Brown @Claire_MoultonB]

I can't believe @UniOfYork told all funded PhD students they could have 6 months funded extensions and then took it away! 😡

[Dr Wendy Robinson @a_mere_chemist]

Proud of our department once again for being at the front lines of top research #covid19 #structuralbiology

[Corinne Wheatley @CorinneWheatley]

Dorothy Hawkins of @YSBL_York @UniOfYork and Dr Rebecca Thompson @UniversityLeeds explain (in simple terms for the non structural biologists among us!) what their #covid19 research entails and how they hope it will help.

[Łukasz Sobala @glycolukasz]

Since the NCBI version is quite "bare", I annotated the SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein as much as I could. Hope someone will find this useful. This is a work in progress, please suggest changes. #COVID19 #demogorgon #spike #SARSCoV2

Here's me briefly talking about a woman @francesarnold who inspires me in STEM #IWD2020 #AWomanWhoInspiresMe #BSW20

We are shining a light on amazing women #IWD2020
