Our lab is very pleased to have acheived Gold LEAF sustainable lab accreditation! 🏅🌿🥼 @ChCh_Oxford @OxfordChemistry @oxfordenvsust – at Oxford, England
Congratulations to our 'Rising Star' Clare! 🌟 – at North Hinksey Village, England
Congratulations Clare (Junior Research Fellow in our group) on this Knowledge Exchange award! 😁👏 – at South Hinksey, England
I'm delighted to have received a @IneosOxford Knowledge Exchange grant, for learning more about simulations to understand antimicrobial resistance with the lab of @chavaleriani! @ChCh_Oxford @OxfordChemistry 🦠🧫👩💻
Congratulations @jackdutch123 and Dirk on this publication with Tim Nott on the wetting behaviour of biomolecular condensates! 🧫💦 doi.org/10.1063/5.0253522 @OxfordChemistry @ChCh_Oxford – at North Hinksey Village, England

It’s not too late to submit an abstract for ECCo 2025 - the deadline is now extended to the 6th of May. Join us in Aston!
Congratulations to Clare and Dirk, and collaborators in the groups of Prof Chantal Valeriani @chavaleriani @unicomplutense and Prof Mark Miller @DurhamChemistry, on their paper comparing inverse methods for measuring inter-particle potentials! 📏🔬🧮 doi.org/10.1063/5.0246890 – at Oxford, England
A joint paper on molecular dynamics authored by Christ Church's Dr Clare Rees-Zimmerman and Professor Dirk Aarts together with teams from Madrid and Durham has been published in The Journal of Chemical Physics.

Well done Clare (a Junior Research Fellow in our group) on the poster prize!! 👏😁
Yesterday's Women in Chemistry @OxWiChem Day at @OxfordChemistry was a lovely event, showcasing work from across the department. I enjoyed sharing my work, for which I was delighted to receive the prize for the best Physical & Theoretical Chemistry poster! @ChCh_Oxford

A great opportunity for early career colloid researchers!
The early career colloid meeting 2024 will be held at UCL on the 20th-21st of June. Abstract submission and registration are now open! Further information can be found here: eccolloid.co.uk/ecco-2024/
Dr Jack Holland giving the Physical Chemistry @OxfordChemistry departmental Soft Matter Seminar today! The audience were educated on emergent phenomena of biological condensates 👨🏫🧫💧 @jackdutch123 @ChCh_Oxford – at Oxford, England

Congratulations to Clare for winning 'Guess the number of M&M's in the jar' at the PTCL @OxfordChemistry Christmas Party - all that practice counting colloidal particles paid off! 🍡🥳 – at Oxford, England

Proud to be involved in this. We showed (very) weak binding of multivalent cations to IDR -ve charges provides exquisite sensitivity of condensate properties to mM fluctuations in [cation]. Crucially, [Ca2+] stabilised condensates comprising -vely charged proteins
Well done Michael and team!
