Trying to blast myself awake at LHR

Even for an 8:30 pm evening talk, the audience for this GRC meeting seems a bit light

Looks tasty, doesn’t it?

Nor can I. The best I can do is the following cheese observed at a breakfast buffet in China a few years ago and according to IUPAC, it’s macroporous

Yes, that’s right

I f****n’ love this ❤️👌🏻

Yep. Thank you

To follow this: I got talking to a lovely local couple who bought me an espresso martini (not really needed) and reminded me just how welcoming and friendly heartland America can be (was needed)

I went to college in North Walsham and was unaware of this

My routing looked superficially attractive c.f., long drive from Boston, alas this proved largely fallacious

Admittedly I was north of this, and my understanding of this topic comes entirely from the Thomas Pynchon novel of same

Life is weird. I’m staying in New Hampshire and breakfast today was unconscionable, but for dinner tonight I had linguine al pomodoro crudo, at the same establishment, which was almost the best thing I’ve eaten in my life

I transited through Philadelphia. I am now in NH…

I’m heading to a Gordon Research Conference. These things are bloody hard to get to, yesterday I felt like Mason without the help of Dixon. I’m in the right state now at least and might conceivably arrive tomorrow.

Philadelphia airport is a zoo and my flight to Manchester NH is delayed by 3 h

Great song 👍 I confidently predict that Day 4 will be “It’s a Shame About Ray”

A graphical summary of the manuscript.

In our latest featured article, Wang, Snurr et al. review the wide range of approaches to the use of generative AI in designing porous materials, and offer a perspective on incorporating these tools with experimental work. doi.org/10.1039/D5DD...

Cool! I didn’t know you did a podcast 👍👍👍

I see neither horses nor guards

🦇🥲

That’s a talent 👏

Bottom-up computational design of shape-selective organic macrocycles for humid CO2 capture Nature Chemistry - Designing materials for CO2 capture under humid conditions is challenging due to the preferential binding of water in most porous adsorbents. Now it has been shown that...

Just published - well done Tao, Hang, Sam and Isaiah - www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Yep I think this came from the US. It listed most synthetic dyes other than fluorescein

I opened the box of lurid green powder and added the milk …

Pistachio Jello. 100% natural if you don’t run chromatography on it.

I just made a simple pasta with 100% homegrown ingredients and while the photo doesn’t do it justice, I genuinely believe that it was the best damned pasta sauce that I have ever made in my life 😍😍😍
