What a week! 🌟 Two vivas in Swansea and Seville with brilliant students 🎓👏 Ending on a high note! 🥂🌈 #AcademicLife #VivaSuccess #PhDJourney #Celebration #Seville #Swansea

I woke up to this today, after being away for a week. In case something happens to me … you know who it was. #CatspiracyTheory #Pawertrip … sry

The mandatory #TGIF #G&T …. Life from Hanoi.

At #VinFuturePrize Symposium today a humbling and empowering experience... bonus me trying to blend with the background. #forgivemyselfpromotion #allaboutsolar #sustainability

Me trying out a wishing tree in Hanoi #goals2025 #pinkdragon #bekind… I let you know if it works 🤣🤣🤣🌈❤️🤡

It felt like a Friday morning #teamdrinks

We are hiring in a research area broadly defined as #Energy and #Sustainability at #OIST! Come and join us on our beautiful island with world-class resources. oist.jp/careers/facu... #FacultyJobs #AcademicJobs #Research #chemsky #mse

#chemsky I made a starter pack of women in organic electronics! Comment below if you’d like to be added 🤗 @stingelin.bsky.social @luscombeoist.bsky.social @jovanavmilic.bsky.social go.bsky.app/SR66ikV

Team members working hard on a #cure #lab

Today some berry action woth G&T in Newcastle #outreach #adultsonly discoverymuseum.org.uk/whats-on/dis...

I haven't found a pack for Women in Science yet so I'm making one. Write if you want to be added (or removed)! Rather small ATM. #WomeninChemistry #WomeninScience #WomeninSTEM go.bsky.app/LjumNEg

Light-triggered structural gating for directional electron transfer. ⚡ Work by Jerry Meyer, Elena Galoppini, @fncastellano.bsky.social and co-workers. "Structural Gating Enhances Long-Distance Light-Driven Interfacial Electron Transfer" Read it here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #ChemSky

Just said my goodbyes at the other place. Takes a while to delete 40k+ tweets though!

Check out our video to discover how @chemistryncl.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social is making a positive impact on the world around us 🔬👩‍🔬🔋💊 Hear from our brilliant staff & students about our world-class facilities, ground-breaking research, & innovative teaching! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrrC...

Newcastle Chemistry @chemistryncl.bsky.social is on BlueSky! Give them a follow for research and teaching news from colleagues at @newcastleuni.bsky.social

The rather important point here is that emission reduction is not a question of whether it can be done. Everything that is needed already exists. All that is needed is political will. So things could move forward very quickly, but the risk of stagnation or a roll back is also very real.

Submitting a revised paper with Kezia … remember #bekind. Holiday season is soon and Karma stuff🌈❤️🥰

Let me reintroduce what we do: making your indoor light work harder than your coffee machine ☕️ powering IoT with 40% efficient DSSCs. We still mostly do chemistry so...Check out our feature in @C&EN: cen.acs.org/energy/solar-power/Indoor-solar-cells-Coming-soon/102/i16 ⚡️🏠

Finally deleted the bird app and flew to Bluesky (for ahem obvious reasons). Nice to discover everyone is here already. Going back to posting about dye-sensitized solar cells, IoT and photoelectrochemistry, and the occasional perfect gin & tonic. 🌞⚡️🍸 #DSSC😍
