A bit late to the party but let's connect on BlueSky: @samvangele.bsky.social 😊 Looking forward to see you there. https://t.co/oiEX7YR7uu

📸 from Day 2 & 3 at the International #Catalysis Networking Conference: Inspiring keynote by @Vy_Dong_Group, Welcome #CRC1633 to Catalysis Network, Excellent talks by #CRC1333 PI's @GroupKaestner & Michael Buchmeiser, Congrats to @SamVanGele for winning the Poster Award!

Congrats to our PhD Student @SamVanGele for receiving the Poster Award at the #Catalysis Networking conference in Pforzheim last week!

Check out this piece about the Science Summer Camps for kids I organize at @mpifkf. It brings me so much joy to see curiosity at work in young minds...Sometimes I think I learn more from the kids than they do from me. #scicomm #chemistry

A month ago, we had the honor of having Francis Otieno visit us from @Maseno_Uni 🇰🇪, the PI of our Comp@ss student @Titusochodo. Thank you for the great talk and wonderful visit! 🎉 If you want to read more about the program, check out this article: https://t.co/0od70n7vJc

It was such an honor to participate as a mentor in the Comp@ss program at #mpifkf! It was a pleasure having @Chapa28702Mercy in the @SimonKrause39 group. Wishing all the Comp@ss students continued success! A big thank you to @SamVanGele and the great Comp@ss team for organizing!

The Comp@ss Internship Program @mpifkf is ending🧭 We built this initiative from the ground up to allow students from the Global South to immerse themselves in our great research institute through a fully funded 6-month internship. So proud of the students and team! 🎉

This week is our science summer camp! Enthusiastic campers are led through a week of experiments and discussions, designed to ignite curiosity and cultivate a passion for scientific inquiry! Thanks to @SamVanGele for organising!

Prepping for this year's Science Summer Camp @mpifkf is in full swing! Can't wait to host 20 curious young minds again and test out our new experiments with them! 🧪☀️ ...I really need a bigger office though 📚📦📦 #SciComm #Chemistry

If you're at #ECC9 today, run and grab lunch at noon and then come to Wicklow Room 3 for the @YoungChemists session on science communication and policy, with @juliana_lvidal, @robinson_julia and @SoutoManel 🎉 Please RT and share with friends and colleagues 🙏🏼

4. The real magic? Connecting with old friends and mentors, meeting fellow chemists and building new relationships is what makes these events so special and inspiring ! Don't just attend, engage! 🎉🍻 @_MariePerrin @PFritz_Chem @gomobel @lfim_epfl and many more

3. Don't snack too much 🍪 and stay hydrated 🌊. Amazing science can make you thirsty so don't forget to drink plenty of water. And watch out for those cookies and cake 🍰

2. Take breaks. 😌 Don't forget to step outside for a breather and walk. And don't feel bad about heading back to the hotel for a post-lunch power nap to get ready for the afternoon!

1. Picking sessions that excite you. 💡 I was so happy to always have a session that peaked my interest. From electrocatalysis, CO2 valorisation but also education, communication and ethics in chemistry, I always found something!

Today is the last day of @EuChemS_Congres and it has really been an amazing experience! 🧪 Despite the intense schedule, I managed to avoid conference fatigue 😴. The energy here is great ⚡ ⬇️ A few tips against snoozing off during talks. (#4 is my fav) #ECC9 #EuChemS2024

Another highlight from @EuChemS_Congres: yesterday, an outstanding #science #policy #panel was organised by @YoungChemists, with EuChemS Vice President @FlorisRutjes @francesarnold from @AmerChemSociety and @helenpain_RSC @RoySocChem

Had the absolute honor of meeting @francesarnold yesterday at @EuChemS_Congres. Total fanboy moment! Her beautiful keynote and insights into science policy and advising the US President were next-level inspiring ✨. Science over fiction, truth over lies. 🧪 #ECC9 @EuChemS

Our staff and scientists watch as Germany qualify for the Round of 16! 🇩🇪 #EURO2024

Thank you very much @crc1333 for recognizing our work with this prize! Building on this work for my PhD has been an adventure of diving deeper into how COFs actually work! ⚛️

Check out this fantastic (and super cute) project! Great ideas by awesome people!
