Meals in Vienna included some tasty Austrian food, including a personal favourite schnitzel for dinner. For lunch , I got taken to a pretty tasty Sichuan restaurant an had twice fried pork belly. Dinner the first night was some solid but not outstanding pizza and vitello tonato and a tiramisu.

Lead author Patrick Lechner starts his PhD with a "Very Important Paper" in Angewandte Chemie! doi.org/10.1002/anie...
His simulations reveal how spin frustration is key to understanding iron-based MOFs with triangular iron centers, building on decades of experimental work.
Stay tuned for more!
