Here is a simulated spherical Nickel electron channelling pattern (EMSoft) made into a football shape so I can hold it and pretend I am an electron diving into atoms.
I like electrons and shapes and matlab and this has all 3 ๐๐๐๐

@ja_pascoe Thanks! Perhaps I should intentionally speak slowly - i.e. leave silence between each word, and test how long it takes to sound awkward. I noticed it in a recording of myself giving a talk. Almost every word is punctuated by 'um'.
@TEMguru Thanks - that sounds like a good idea, even reading out loud to myself to start with. I read really fast in my head by my reading out loud ability is worse than the average 12-year old
There is always time for #ScienceCake when preparing slides: meet this very hungry fatigue crack in a cake-jelly composite ๐๐ฐ
Do these cake crystals have an easy-crack plane? What about WC crystals in WC-Co hardmetals? Find out at #EUROMAT2023
Super exciting news about Smith, Meyers, @cs_kaplan, Goodman-Strauss's discovery of an "einstein"โa single shape that tiles the plane aperiodically! I decided to create a 3D-printable version of it. You can find it here: https://t.co/s9WFuojpNW

I'm not great at managing travel admin, and get *very* tired from new places & people - this can be chaotic/stressful! Virtual meeting options help a lot.
This time, attending in-person was definitely worthwhile as it's easier to actively participate.
Just wrote some notes from #MTEX 2023 workshop - ended up with >1700 words!
Super grateful to have 8 days to focus 100% on #EBSD#MATLAB#crystallography. I learnt so much, & so many exciting things I want to do / help with / contribute to now!
Ngl - my workload in the run-up to the workshop was rough! (If I tried to keep it up for much longer it would have broken me.)
But I am grateful for awesome colleagues at NPL who took on a lot of my 'normal' work so that I could join in #MTEX 2023.
I am running out of time to prepare slides for a talk and
therefore procrastinating with powerpoint stick figures...
meet the 5 main EBSD users in our lab๐
@DrStuartR Cool - that looks incredibly clean for an organic nonconductive sample! How do you get the sample surface flat? Do you need a cryostage to keep it from melting?
