The next in our series focusing on women in surface science involves a chat with long time friend of HarwellXPS - @Emily_F_Smith! Emily talks industry, parenting and how flexibility in the workplace is vital to supporting carers in the workplace. youtu.be/aMK9odEgH88

UPDATE 📢 Registration for the MSILDG Summer Research Meeting will open mid-May, so start thinking about your abstract submissions now 🧠💬 We can't wait to welcome you on 8-10 August at Churchill College, Cambridge! #ionicliquids #moltensalts

@Ionic_Fred Are you presenting?

On the way to Lyon for the Congress on ionic liquids (COIL). I look forward to meeting my friends and colleagues from all over the world 😊 it really feels like a big family reunion (the good kind).

The structure of protic ILs based on H2SO4, doped with excess of acid or with H2O by @AnneMcGrogan2 and Dr Emily Byrne - now in PCCP! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Excellent collaboration with Prof John Holbrey @QUILLResearch, @isisneutronmuon, and @ChrobokGroup!

Today I asked ChatGPT about the topic I wrote my PhD about. It produced reasonably sounding explanations and reasonably looking citations. So far so good – until I fact-checked the citations. And things got spooky when I asked about a physical phenomenon that doesn’t exist.

🚨 New PhD Positions Alert! 🚨 Applications are now open for a PhD position available in my group, and another position where I am secondary supervisor. Biocatalysis and nanoparticles in ionic liquids. See below for details 👇 @kclchemistry @KingsNMES @KingsCollegeLon @MSILDG

@apsbrogan @annakcroft @HallettGroup That hat would always get in the way during group meetings

@annakcroft @HallettGroup Anna beat me too it!

Am I a) a tourist in Mexico; or b) a tastefully dressed idiot at a Mexican restaurant in Chelsea? Discuss

We (@darren_walsh @DrGrahamNewton) are looking for an ambitious PDRA to join the Faraday Institution's Listar program. Candidates with diverse skill sets in chemistry are encouraged to apply! jobs.ac.uk/job/CTE378/res…

Check out the new OPRD (Organic Process Research & Development) cover spotlighting an article written by a team which includes colleagues from the School of Chemistry and a student from the CDT. Learn more and read the full article here: tinyurl.com/3abne9z9 #WeAreUoN

Anion fluorination leads to ionic liquids with good properties. Usually. Not always. Have a look at our recent article, just out in @ChemicalScience, which paints a fuller picture. dx.doi.org/10.1039/d2sc03… @impchemistry #chemtwitter #Chemistry

Today is the deadline for abstract submission and registration for the MSILDG summer meeting. Join us online or in person. More details: rsc.org/events/detail/… #moltensalts #ionicliquids

Very happy to see our latest paper selected as a HOT article in @green_rsc, a collaborative work between @ChemistryUoN and @ImperialChemEng: xlink.rsc.org/?doi=10.1039/D… @HallettGroup

Nothing is green if not scalable. Our last paper on furan based surfactants with higher performances compared current commercial ones. One study where sustainable feedstock is transformed with a sustainable process to deliver a high performing product. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Save the date: 17-18 August 2022! Date of the MSILDG's traditional 2022 Summer Research Meeting at Churchill College, Cambridge, UK. Please join us for an informal discussion and celebration of everything #ionicliquids and #moltensalts. We look forward to meeting you.

Nanoparticles (10s of millionths of a mm!) are pretty tough to see! But the nmRC is excited to be offering a paid 6-8 week summer studentship to current UoN undergraduates to come work with some of our expert team and facilities to help develop methods that let us do just that..

The support for @LixeaNews from the local Varmland community was terrific! De vill revolutionera användningen av skogsindustrins restprodukter svt.se/nyheter/lokalt… via @svtnyheter

Full House listening to @LixeaNews CEO Krisztina open our pilot plant - what a day!!!

Please RT: we’re looking for passionate physical chemist/material scientist for @arc_gov_au #PhD project on precursor films of ionic liquids at surfaces @BronBH @UniversitySA @dabeattie99 @AntonBlencowe @ProfRobAtkin @SISM_at_UniSA @ACTBGroup #ultrathin-ionic-liquid-films-on-surfaces" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">unisa.edu.au/research/degre… #PhDchat
