Happy Friday! @LyssiotisLab and I had a fun time hyping up our favorite metabolite Uridine as the Metabolite of the Month in @CellCellPress! We hope you enjoy this quick read! https://t.co/16jPUsvHiA

[Tom Ugras @tomugras]

Better late than never, happy to help with this one !

From the cover of ACS Nano: @RRobinson_ITH and team at @CornellMSE discover three #isomerization intermediates during the amides-facilitated α-to β-phase isomerization of CdS magic size clusters. #StarkEffect @Cornell

Last week, @tomugras (@RRobinson_ITH group) from @Cornell analysed Nanocluster films at @b23_diamond, @DiamondLightSou using our MMP facility.

Wrapped up another successful run at @b23_diamond ! Quick pass through London too for the football and the food - thanks for the tour of UCL Chemistry @_AishaMumtaz_ 🧬🧪⚛️

[Tom Ugras @tomugras]

@Origami_Alice jack of all trades !

[Tom Ugras @tomugras]

@WeiYouResearch @ChoiseEfrc Nice combo of CD + X-ray studies to reveal LDLB origins !

[Tom Ugras @tomugras]

(Dr.) Frank’s last day in the office ! Congrats my friend, you’ve done so great and taught the team so much. Check out our first paper together - he says it was his favorite work throughout his PhD :) https://t.co/TcedaqaioD

We’ll miss you dearly !

[Tom Ugras @tomugras]

everything is really just a mass on a spring, isn’t it ?

[Tom Ugras @tomugras]

@_AishaMumtaz_ @Cornell @scanlond81 Great to meet you - safe travels back and hope to see you soon ! 🌀🐚😵‍💫🐌

[Tom Ugras @tomugras]

Feels good to have the talks over with-been great to meet so many scientists whom I look up to, too !

[Tom Ugras @tomugras]

@mvkovalenko Lovely group photo ! 😉 Good to meet you Prof Kovalenko!

[Tom Ugras @tomugras]

Thanks to @JDislistening and the REACT team. And of course @jesswade for the inspiration - took a lot of elements from the chiral team over at Imperial ! And @gimmecoffee for the chiral pastries !

[Tom Ugras @tomugras]

Summer outreach day with Cornell’s REACT(https://t.co/oNWYLfum19)! Fun with chirality and cross-polarization: R/S-carvone, helical sugar molecules, and strain-induced birefringence (“pastarimeter” not pictured!).

[Tom Ugras @tomugras]

@Origami_Alice Yes Alice you are cool ! 😁

[Rich Robinson @RRobinson_ITH]

Can we still measure CD with CD spectrometers? Highly anisotropic nanostructures can cause problems, as artifacts appear in the circular dichroism spectrum that can’t be removed. More info in our new paper: https://t.co/GxYb6d6ORm

.@tomugras (@RRobinson_ITH group) from @Cornell visited @DiamondLightSou last week to study Nanocluster Films.

A fitting friend to find as I wrapped up my beamtime at @b23_diamond late last night ! Was a lot of fun, and the data is just amazing 🐚😵‍💫🧬

This week marks the 20 year anniversary of the unjustified, US-led invasion of Iraq. Millions of lives lost and harmed, one of the greatest crimes humanity has ever seen. Weighs heavy on the mind as Russia does the same.
