Now the dust has settled on #EleCup21, and we have gotten a bit of rest (and some work done), we will be spending the next few days doing a series of announcements and polls to help us run #EleCup22 in the best way possible.

Clear nuclear energy has prevailed over fossils in a small symbolic competiotion. And I am very pleased about that. But we have a long way to go to make it reality. We shall fight for our future.

Well, I started off OK. But though the longer it went, the more the awesome facts got replaced by sledging, gratuitous gifs, and awful puns! Expect more of the same next year.

Wow, so torn .... love the lightweight stiffness of carbon fiber bikes and C processing in photosynthesis in producing energy is just a freakin drug of wonderment in nature .... but the POWER unlocked by fissioning of Uranium ... phew tough choice

I made diamond-like carbons for my undergraduate thesis! So #TeamCarbon! They can be crystalline, amorphous, sheets (graphene), or look like soccer balls (buckminsterfullerene)! #scicomm

One of these elements produces energy at an unrivaled density and leaves behind a comparatively tiny, intensively-managed waste product. The other element is vented *directly into the atmosphere* after we've extracted energy from it, cooking our climate & acidifying our oceans.

Listen to Prince people! #teamUranium #EleCup21
โฐ15 hours to goโฐ and it has been close to 50:50 for most of today competition, with #TeamCarbon Eeking a lead out every time #TeamUranium gains ground. Either could win the cup today!

Vote #TeamUranium for providing a big chunk of the heat that makes the mantle convect and keeps the Earth turning over! Earth and life would be very different without plate tectonics...

This is the first sample of buckminster fullerene ever analysed. I got to hold it when my son visited Sussex Uni on an open day. I was teaching fullerenes to my Y11 class the next day. Iโ€™ve never been so excited.

Go #TeamUranium. For the mitigation of climate change, obviously!

Clash of the titans! But #TeamCarbon is the obvious choice, right? Try doing organic chemistry without it ๐Ÿ˜…#EleCup21
