@MSCActions postdoc at @polimi. Working on applying the multiscale methodology to the methanol-to-hydrocarbon process.

When I was working on this article, I imagined the small polarons being soft snooker balls that would increase the energy of the material when they came in close proximity to each other.

The work is now published in @SNApplSci

Dear @Bundeskanzler @vonderleyen @eucopresident @EmmanuelMacron @MinPres Now is the time to break free from Russian oil and gas. Europe must stop fuelling Putin’s war chest. Once and for all! #EUCO @NATO @POTUS #Ukraine #StopPutinsOil

@ioChem_BD jo, jeg følger dere :)

@MarieCurie_NCP @MarieCurie_NCP, I meant "the decision of not allowing resubmissions seems to be a mistake". I did not dispute the fact.
I see now that it can be interpreted in both ways.
I need to improve my communicational skills...

[Torstein Fjermestad @tfjermestad]

The last point seems to be a mistake.
I scored 69 % on the first submission and 98 % on the second. It is possible to improve

How to prepare for the next crisis

[EUA @euatweets]

#HorizonEU Pillar 1 flagships @ERC_Research & @MSCActions cannot be replicated at national level. The EU must give itself the opportunity to support the next scientific breakthrough. #RescueHorizonEurope #EUinvestInKnowledge

[Nathalie Conrad @nathalie_conrad]

Our proposal to preserve #EU #research
1. €4B agreed this week must go to 'Pillar 1' (basic research)
2. 'Next Generation EU' must contribute its share to R&D
3. A plan towards sustainable R&D funding, incl the 3% of GDP goal, must be set and delivered upon

@A_Weberling @GabrielMariya @EUErasmusPlus @europe_creative @EU2020DE @Europarl_EN @EUCouncil @vonderleyen @EU_Commission If you first decrease the budget by a lot, and then you increase it by a little, it looks like a success.
It is a very old trick... :(

[Torstein Fjermestad @tfjermestad]

Fundamental knowledge will make us more prepared to face the next crisis.

A crisis happens fast and unexpected, but research is slow.

The development of the tools to fight the next crisis may require knowledge we do not yet have.

Dear head of states, @EmmanuelMacron @MinPres @sebastiankurz @SwedishPM @statsmin, dear @EUCouncil, @EU_Commission, dear @vonderleyen

Please #RescueHorizonEurope

The rapid development of coronavirus vaccines has been possible because fundamental knowledge was already in place

[Antonia Weberling @A_Weberling]

Dear @vonderleyen

Stand up and fight for European Science.

Keep your promise and strive for more!

Over 700 scientists united across an entire continent ask for your help!

Listen to act boldly!

As president of the EU Commission have the power to do that!
#RescueHorizonEurope

[Torstein Fjermestad @tfjermestad]

We need insight before we can develop tools that can solve our problems

#RescueHorizonEurope

[Nathalie Conrad @nathalie_conrad]

Dear @vonderleyen, we all agree. European Science works.
That is exactly why we are asking you to #RescueHorizonEurope.

@EUCouncil in 2002 "To spark #EU competitiveness we will increase R&D intensity to 3% of GDP.” Today R&D spending is at ~2% (-33% vs target). Today at a time when we need science more than ever, #EU leaders decide to cut research spending by astonishing 33%. #RescueHorizonEurope
