My time in academia will come to an end in two weeks. After 8+ years at @QUT, in September I will start a new journey as a Field Service Engineer with @thermofisher based in Brisbane. I'm incredibly excited!

@chrashwood @Popher I tend to bypass those "what should I buy" threads, usually they don't have a budget or a region (maybe it is assumed US), so it's not helpful. Where I can offer vendor agnostic advice, I do.

[Berwyck Poad @bljpoad]

@chrashwood @Popher I lurk on that subreddit occasionally, so some of the strangers do know how to operate things😃

@gurugav69 @ChemistryUoM How do I 'unlike' a post on this thing? Where are my glasses....

[Berwyck Poad @bljpoad]

@gurugav69 I think after a successful #IMSC2024 conference, you have well earned it and much more!

[Berwyck Poad @bljpoad]

@byu_sam @WileyGlobal Fantastic news! That is a really wild ride, I'm glad it had a positive conclusion.

[Berwyck Poad @bljpoad]

@ErrantScience I'm going to be printed a few of these off to stick up around the lab.

[Berwyck Poad @bljpoad]

@gurugav69 @QUT @thermofisher Cheers Gavin!

@ghett_smart @QUT @thermofisher The Free Radicals Conference, over at the UOW Innovation Campus? I'd not long started my DECRA and was pretty fired up 😃 I'm really happy that energy was infectious!

[Berwyck Poad @bljpoad]

@sarah_e_hancock A few years ago we had ours spring a leak around the base the morning I was heading overseas. Very bad timing!

[Berwyck Poad @bljpoad]

@anzsms @sarah_e_hancock @VictorChangInst Awesome! Congratulations Sarah!

[Programming Polymers @HendrikFrisch]

Has anyone ever wished they could degrade specific sections of a polymer on demand? Probably not, but we did it anyway - Check out Phuong's work on remote-controlled polymer degradation in @ChemSci. Enabled by @QUTmaterials and @ANSTO ! https://t.co/G1i8z1nFzx

[Prof. Gavin Reid @gurugav69]

Who says OzID and UVPD can’t peacefully coexist together on the same mass spec? https://t.co/aCHx2LUhcN Despite how many holes we drill in it, our @ChemistryUoM @Bio21Institute QE instrument keeps going. Another successful collab. with @BlanksbyStephen @bljpoad and Sam Brydon

[Australasian Proteomics Society @LorneProteomics]

Save the date! We are thrilled to announce sponsorship & exhibition opportunities are now available for the Inaugural AUS-oMicS meeting, to be held on May 18th - 21st 2025 in sunny Cairns. We're excited to host the members of @LorneProteomics , @ozglyco @anzsms @ANZMetabolomics

@Popher Aren't they silver passivated bolts to stop galling?

[Berwyck Poad @bljpoad]

@Popher That's about the per litre cost in here in Brisbane.

@the_ion_doctor First author, Journal (abbreviated, for shame), Full title.

[Berwyck Poad @bljpoad]

@the_ion_doctor In my grant applications (ARC in Australia) we have a strict page limit on the project description. I still include the publication title despite the extra space because it quickly shows if the paper is actually relevant!
