Alfred Brendel’s last concert in Vienna in 2008. A look of happiness on his face that, finally, it was all over. And with the small group of pianists lucky enough to have studied with him. He still had so much to give, but I treasure this moment of relief and intimacy. RIP

Hello Bluesky 👋 We're excited to be here!

We'll be sharing lots of our news and research activities, and look forward to making plenty of new connections 🤝

Fantastic day out at Campus In The City!

Hundreds of international students wake up to an email asking them to self deport for campus activism - The Times of India US News: Hundreds of international students in the US are getting an email from the US Department of State (DOS) asking them to self-deport owing to campus act.

Seriously, where are all the columnists, commentators, pundits, authors, broadcasters & politicians who kept telling us they cared passionately about ‘

This is offensive to all our brave servicemen and women who fought and died alongside Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan

Every accusation is an intention.

Perfect, just perfect. 👏 @mortenmorland.bsky.social

Perfect take down.

Visiting the The University of Nottingham and the GSK Carbon Neutral Laboratories for Sustainable Chemistry, where I worked for my PhD.

For me, the CNL's function-informed aesthetic, and the congruity between form and purpose, provides inspiration and an often elusive sense of hopefulness.

Had the enormous privilege of seeing Joe Hisaishi conduct his music at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday. His suite from Princess Mononoke was deeply moving. @royalalberthall.bsky.social

Thoroughly enjoyed giving a talk today on my career in chemistry research at the Sustainable Hydrogen Centre for Doctoral Training stakeholder event at Loughborough University. So many enthusiastic PhD students! My thanks to the University of Nottingham for the invitation.

Hi Gordon! 😄

How wonderful! It's something got into what I did a masters degree at the University of Birmingham. I found myself competing on the varsity circuit.

Hi Everyone! I'm a scientist researching electrochemical energy/carbon dioxide conversion and storage devices with a love of music - piano, organ, harpsichord, orchestra, choral - who also enjoys ballroom & latin dance. If any of that sounds interesting, give me a follow!
