Had a wonderful week at the CDT advanced characterisation of materials (CDT-ACM) summer school. Fantastic to see all the amazing work my colleagues are doing and I'm now bubbling with ideas for my own research. Huge thank you to the CDT staff for organising the trip!

Looking back on the amazing opportunity I had earlier this year, undertaking a three month placement at VerSoX Beamline at Diamond Light Source, working on XPS and NEXAFS of chiral-modified metal surfaces. I learned so much and can't thank everyone at B07 enough!

Thanks to all the amazing CDT-ACM students for creating a successful summer retreat! With fascinating talks, incredible posters & engaging flash presentations delivered by 4 cohorts of PhD students from @imperialcollege, @ucl & @tcddublin @ImpMaterials @EPSRC @scienceirel

My first big conference! I presented on my PhD work at the @europeanmrs spring meeting, which was a wonderful opportunity to meet the loveliest people, learn So much and explore Strasbourg

Our @CDT_ACM annual end of year symposium, fascinating presentation from @abcairns and now from @EleanorTeather who is sharing their knowledge on peak fitting in XPS @photoelectrons @ImpMaterials @ShellyStem

The PM started his speech yesterday by saying it was time to be 'honest' with the British people, and yet this tweet is all lies NONE of these are current Govt policies The PM is #gaslighting the nation

WELL DONE TO EVERYONE AT @KCL_UCU Our members have won: ✅A big increase to London weighting ✅Paid parental leave rights from DAY 1 ✅Childcare subsidies And more. Full story here: https://t.co/pF7a6Iyg92

Absolutely incredible turnout at today’s protest in London! Teachers, doctors, civil servants, university workers and more striking together. We demand fair pay for ALL 👊 #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/3Mo9CXN7Na

Ooh look at her, all this fancy equipment ooh I got to spend a week using ambient pressure XPS and XAS to study haemoglobin at @DiamondLightSou! I knew nothing going in so quite in the deep end, but it was a fantastic experience &🤞I get to go back for my own work some day soon!

Hey it's me! As seen here trying to remind everyone that violence against women isn't just some weirdo on the street, it might be someone you know, and that needs to be called out too #EnoughlsEnough

In the first of a series of @Nature features, I looked at ethnic diversity within UK science – and the results were stark. This is not just an injustice, it’s bad for science, because diversity breeds better research. A🧵1/n

Thank you both so much!

Woooh it me! Come watch me blather about how obsessed I am with some incredibly specific phase diagrams 😍

Carbon dioxide turned into methanol by exploiting daily temperature changes: this is honestly so cool and could do so much https://t.co/I5KkrgqkWJ

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

Watch this astronaut do wild things with water in space

After the Black Death, human males got about 9 centimeters taller and females got 5.5 centimeters shorter.

Third thought: they don't say in the article but I wonder whether women/poc's ideas come out as unique from other women/poc, or if they're unique because the majority of ideas are coming from white men who are all coming up with the same stuff. I'm intrigued.

This slide needed a trigger warning for mathematicians.

This has made me realise that scientists of colour are soc's which is super cute🧦
