Delighted to finally see our review "Understanding solid-state battery electrolytes using atomistic modelling and machine learning" in @NatRevMater

This has been a long journey that begun when I was in @SaifulChemistry's group!

Great to attend the first “Teaching Python in Chemistry Meeting” at @UCLChemistry with @ColeGroupNCL , @osc_ballantyne and @MagdauIoan. Looks to be some interesting developments coming to a university near you. Thanks to @michaelriver and Andrew McCluskey.

A project led by Dr James Dawson @jad5888 has been successful in securing a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council to help develop next-generation batteries @ERC_Research #ERCCoG @SciencesNCL https://t.co/90AECxRqtB

[James A. Dawson @jad5888]

Absolutely delighted to have been awarded an @ERC_Research Consolidator Grant for my project AMPed! Particularly surprising given that I spent the first 5 min of the interview failing to open my presentation 😅 @ChemistryNCL @SciencesNCL @nuact_NCL
