Great to be back @UoBChemistry for the @SscgR Xmas meeting, catch up with familiar faces and to see some excellent science - well done @DominikJKubicki and team for the organisation!
And thank you too @amichalchuk for the tour of the new (and old) chemistry buildings! It brought back memories...

Great to hear so many wonderful talks showcasing data from #HRPD @isisneutronmuon at the joint @bcaccg / PCG meeting, including James Cumby (@CumbyLab), Alex Gibbs (@StAndrewsChem), Amber Thompson (@OxfordChemistry) and Steve Hull, amongst others.
Thank you all for a great day!

Announcing a very special workshop this summer:
The Future of Materials Discovery - UCL, London 25-26 June
AI is going to change science in a big way. We have an unbelievable line-up of speakers to discuss what the future looks like
Please RT!

Really enjoyed presenting @EllieDChem's work at the @RoySocChem fluorine group meeting. Now am early start to get to @UCLChemistry to talk about teaching python!
Great day spent discussing the best ways to teach python in Chemistry. Thanks to @an_drewmcc and @michaelriver for the hard work organising!

Great to get our work published in @JMaterChem. Some lovely results measuring CsCaCl3 using the PEARL high-pressure instrument 💎 part of a collaboration between us @isisneutronmuon and researchers @EdinburghUni. tinyurl.com/mway62f5. @r1dley @giarc1bull @CumbyLab @sumitkonar
Farewell HRPD @isisneutronmuon, we probably won't see you again before the big rebuild!
Finally got some neutrons on my samples! Lovely few days in the HRPD shed ☢️ now time to analyse the data before the BCA… @isisneutronmuon @CumbyLab

Keep up to date with new research like 'Mixed anion control of negative thermal expansion in a niobium oxyfluoride' by @CumbyLab and @EllieDChem.

Great to see our first experimental work on niobium oxyfluoride published! Anion doping really can have a dramatic effect on properties.
A material that gets smaller when you heat it up?! 😮 The power of a small amount of fluorine doping to induce negative thermal expansion now in @ChemCommun 🥳 doi.org/10.1039/D3CC06129A

Until the next time @DiamondLightSou ! A speedy few days of very cold PXRD at I11 with @CumbyLab ❄️
Congratulations to @EllieDChem for winning the Dent-Glasser prize for crystallography at #SSCG23 with her excellent talk. Proud supervisor moment!
