Fair enough, hope you do well with it!

Do you do it as an e-book? I'd love to get this for my kids but shipping to the UK looks expensive...

Very beautiful

Sounds like a tough day. Sending solidarity. Parenting is hard.

PhD studentship at Uni Warwick with CENTA! Join us to study the decomposition of potent greenhouse gas N2O using Earth abundant Ti-based molecular photocatalysts. Exciting joint project with @chaplinlab.bsky.social group. Please contact Seb for details. centa.ac.uk/studentship/... Please re-post.

Grant application submitted. A good feeling, but also a little like sending a much cossetted child out to face wolves.

Also, Hermione is clearly ripping off Mary Poppins

Things have got bad in UK HE when a department like Leicester Chemistry is facing these measures. Solidarity to all the staff picketing today.

Thank you!

I'd like to read this article, unfortunately I don't have access! Accessibility issue with article on accessibility (albeit of different sorts) feels sad

"We sat down and ate the pears from the tree before the rain came."
Preschool sounds amazing. Of course, this bucolic scene probably involved a lot more spit, thrown pears and chaos than suggested.

We need a hard number from the RSC to defend against attempts to erode chemistry depts access to lab and technician time in an environment where universities are looking to cut out anything expensive. I agree with the idea that we should put more problem solving into the labs, though.

This makes me feel ill

It's definitely discrimination against chemists, who else needs a subscript five times in every line? I hate it so much.

Today is International Non-Binary People's Day and the first day of Non-Binary Awareness Week

The day was first celebrated in 2012, started by Katje van Loon. The date was chosen for being precisely midway between International Women's Day and International Men's Day.

Good to see you today @sandykilla.bsky.social, can't stop laughing at this photo where it looks like I'm your smaller second head

I am reminded this week of the Ben Elton novel Blind Faith, which, over a decade ago, seemed like one of the more far fetched dystopian novels I'd read. I don't think I'd feel so complacent, if I read it again. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_F...

UCL – University College London UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

Being married to a physicist, I get told this most days. But there is no point using something that nobody else I work with uses.
