At the @HiggsCentre inaugural Halloween Lecture, masterfully delivered by @PhysAstroEd colleague Dave Fairhurst in the spectacular old Anatomy Lecture Theatre. Dave's lecture featured work by @SOFI_CDT students Veronica & Jay. Eugenia was on joke judging duty.

At the annual @SOFI_CDT showcase meeting hosted by @PhysAstroEd there have been plenty of pure Stoater talks and posters. Well done to all presenters

Max's first paper as a PhD student @PhysAstroEd

[Max Huisman @HuismanMax1]

Really excited to see our work published in Physical Review Letters this week! Read the paper here 👇🏻👇🏻

@PhysAstroEd PhD student @MaxHuisman_SMP first paper from the University of Edinburgh.

[Physical Review Letters @PhysRevLett]

Confirming theoretical predictions, the evaporation rate of a polymer solution (like paint) is experimentally shown to be insensitive to relative humidity up to 80%

So was ideally positioned to offer insights on a Case Study task of using a soft matter physics approach to understand the formulation of a topical hydrogel.#skinphysics#transportphenomena#physicsofbacteria#pilymerphysics. The students did a great job. 👍4/4

In common with the whole training programme this was co-created with an industrial partner (in this case @GSK). Today I was joined by my @PhysAstroEd colleague David Moore, who brings a wealth of expertise from a successful career leading research in industry. 3/n

Across 10 cohorts, 150+ students have either completed PhDs in soft matter or are still underway towards that goal. Today I am here to listen to the students of cohort 10 present at the end of Case Study 4. 2/n

By a quirk of calendars, I find myself in Durham 9 years & 361 days after the kick-off meeting of the @SOFI_CDT. 1/n

[Physics Astro @ Edin @PhysAstroEd]

Congratulations to year 3 PhD students Max Huisman and Giorgia Palombo who received prizes for their posters submitted at the International Soft Matter Conference in Japan. 🙌

Well done to @PhysAstroEd PhD student @MaxHuisman_SMP

[Max Huisman @HuismanMax1]

Excited to have been awarded a Best Poster award at #ISMC2023!

Less than half of my tube wearing masks. Please. It’s hot hard to understand.
