single molecule spectroscopy science & art: creativity

[Nicki F @NickiJFairbairn]

Our Masters student, @imactuallyorla, did a tremendous job at explaining some really tricky science yesterday to a vast audience in the Chemistry Department. This covered photon antibunching and FCS as part of her Masters' presentation. Very well done, Orla!

Congratulations to @NickiJFairbairn on passing her PhD viva today; our group’s first doctor! Many thanks to Carlos Penedo and @StevenWMagennis for examining and Joy Farnaby for convening. Well done Dr Fairbairn!

We have an open PhD position for October 2024 start. To look at single molecules we move them large distances apart from each other, kind of like in this video. In this PhD we will do this, at very low temperatures, see https://t.co/pRHh0ZNmT0 for more info.

Many congratulations to Olga Vodianova for winning the @RoySocChem @JMaterChem Materials Advances poster prize at Optical Probes in Como for her work on the single molecule spectroscopy of the light emitting polymer F8BT. Very well done Olga!

[Hedleylab @hedleylab]

The group had a wonderful time at Optical Probes last week, hosted in the very impressive Teatro Sociale in Como. Great poster presentations from @NickiJFairbairn and Olga Vodianova on their PhD research, well done to both!

Our Arcadia summer student, Alana, did a tremendous job at presenting experimental work that she had carried out in the @hedleylab over the last six weeks on Thursday to the rest of her cohort. It's been lovely having her in the group and we wish her all the best for the future!

[Nicki F @NickiJFairbairn]

Our postdoc, Saptarshi, had his last day today in the @hedleylab. Next week he will be starting a new position in Boston @MIT! We're all very excited for him to start the next chapter of his academic career and see what the great things the future brings him. All the best, Sappy!

Sad day as we say goodbye to Ozora who has been visiting us for the last 6 months from @uectokyo exploring SMS and quantum behaviour in molecules. We look forward to continuing to work with the Shimizu Group. As an added bonus, Ozora has a hidden talent making amazing origami!

Happy International Woman's Day! I'm taking this opportunity to celebrate these fantastic female scientists from the Hedley and Farnaby Group that I am incredibly grateful to work alongside on a daily basis. #InternationalWomensDay @UofGChem

I was very lucky to present my research last month @ the 27th International Workshop on SMS and Super-Res Microscopy, hosted by @PicoQuant in Berlin, Germany.
Discussing very cool science with very cool people from across the globe was an invaluable experience #scientificresearch

I wonder what @bobservant would have made of this? A good 20 pages of correspondence on the tank top design for the next book right there.
