@AndreaLaybourn That’s brilliant news - congratulations!

Elated to share that I have been awarded a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship to develop enabling technologies for sustainable & reproducible production of porous materials. Massive thanks to my team, mentors & collaborators. #UKRIFLF #MOFs nottingham.ac.uk/news/new-futur…

@JamieAGould @ucl Congratulations on the new position! I look forward to continuing to phone you unannounced at random times to ask random questions about XRD matters.

@CarissaPonan I really enjoyed your talk at #bca23 seeing how you've been hunting co-crystals with hyphenated methods

Come have a chat at CCG41 about how we track down cocrystals using funky hyphenated X-ray diffraction techniques! #bca23

@ProfJuliaChan I've used very small amounts of epoxy on 'eyelashes' of a MiTeGen MicroGripper to hold crystals in gas cells at high temperature. The crystal is held at multiple points which gives a bit of stability/redundancy and allows use of very small amounts of glue.

Anyone ever collected single crystal X-ray data in the range of 450 - 475 K? Thinking about adhesives to mount samples

@GeorgiaRFO I hope Darth Vader doesn't find out you've stolen the plans to the death star

Back at our favourite science doughnut for some SCXRD with some exciting new structures from Birmingham and Nottingham chemistry depts 😍

@DAmabilino @ChemistryUoN @JoshHumphreys91 @a8165223a57c4f9 @ChemCommun A flat crystal from the flat molecule. It was always a pleasure to work with @JoshHumphreys91 and @a8165223a57c4f9 on their colourful and usually challengingly proportioned crystals!

The lovely crystal structure of a new pyridinium DPP. With the help of Dr. Stephen Argent @steppphhhen @ChemistryUoN on compounds by @JoshHumphreys91 and @a8165223a57c4f9 . Flat, but not pi-stacked molecules!! In @ChemCommun open access doi.org/10.1039/D2CC06…

@rosie_j_young @Crystal_a_day If you want to get printing, the STL files for the kites and darts came from thingiverse thingiverse.com/thing:12003

@steppphhhen @Crystal_a_day Penrose is truly ginormous😂I may need to copy you and print my own set of those tiles!

@MJCliffe @victoriajrich I think technetium is a smart place to stop, but mostly because of the paperwork your local RPS would have to fill in to get hold of it.

What language do chemists use when warning their children about playing with 'chemicals'? I don't want to teach that 'chemicals are dangerous', but how to distinguish?

@TimEasun @victoriajrich First round of the gameshow: how much play-doh will you eat for £50?

@steppphhhen @victoriajrich Now there's an idea for an ill-advised late-night gameshow on one of the high-number TV channels...

@TimEasun @JCorn360 Wow, that's beautiful. But did they diffract?

Well, that's pretty. #RealTimeChem Sample by @JCorn360

@AnnaGSlater Definitely go with Dolly Parton to remind you to protect your work-life time boundaries.

@OliverBarnard28 If Sonny wins the golden boot Spurs fans are definitely invading Carrow Road on Sunday.

Will say play off semi final pitch invasions are tinpot imo.

@TimEasun @easyJet @BristolAirport Sorry to hear about this nightmare experience topped off with a helping of negligence! We had our @easyjet flight from Bristol to Malaga cancelled with 12 hours notice last week. They're clearly struggling to deliver the flights they've sold.

@easyJet staffing @BristolAirport *don't be misled. None of the people in this photo actually work for @easyJet. It really isn't fair on them either, to have a lot of very tired and angry passengers dumped on them.

Hi @easyJet. You appear to have abandoned a plane load of people at Bristol airport after flying us to Madeira, failing to land there, landing at Porto Santo, landing at Faro, then bringing us back to Bristol. 11 hours on a plane, one free drink and one small snack and now this?

@GeorgiaRFO @UoNUCU Aw thanks! She is indeed a bit bear-ish - yet another mis-sold dodgy item from Amazon.

@steppphhhen @UoNUCU I hate to break it to you but someone seems to have swapped your dog for a teddy bear 🧐 (Also, omggg so cute)

@WillPatBass @AgnesFlues Very smart whiskers! Maybe Peggy could recommend a hairdresser for Coco.

@AgnesFlues @WillPatBass I'll see if I can find a parking space within carrying distance of West - walking in an agreed direction is a skill we are still working on.

@steppphhhen OMG 😍😍😍 I did spot her in a Jubilee picture.. any chance she might make an appearance at West tomorrow? @WillPatBass’s Peggy would love to meet her, I’m sure..

@ccdc_cambridge @britcryst @IUCr Everyone loves metrics! @ccdc_cambridge Could you check out Stephen P Argent #CSDWrapped2021 Thanks

Have you got your #CSDWrapped2021? @ us with your publishing name by Friday! @britcryst @IUCr #chemtwitter #crystallography (How it works; hubs.ly/Q010MqDk0 )
