Myself and @michaelpweir started writing our parts to this manuscript during some neutron time at the ILL in Grenoble in 2019. It's been quite the journey, but a really nice paper linking structure <> function for our quantum dot : organic semiconductor films!.

A lovely eulogy for a really nice man.
My father, Robert Cecil Jones, died yesterday. I've written something about his 90 year life, spanning a childhood and youth in Aberystwyth, service in the Royal Air Force, & a second career as a priest in the Church in Wales.

Good job team! Must say I did prefer our original title! “Is spending money on controlled environmental agriculture (CEA) for space (SpaCEA) decadent … or a route to sustainably feeding an Earth population?”.
Our paper on why growing food in space is important has been published in Nature Food ! Congrats @dunkie_c @pvcryan @LukeFountain8 @a_moschopoulos and the rest of our coauthors!. @ScienceShef @susfoodshef @granthamcsf.
