The bars in south london were a bit too feral for us so we’re having a hydration break at home

Having a blast at this #GRC 😎 representing the work from my group even at the pool! Turns out the fabric poster isn’t UV-proof..

Enjoying some “executive time” on the wall

🫣 If one of my students showed me this plot and claim correlation, I would laugh them out of the room - UK journos/gen public, are we seriously this illiterate??? 🤯

Heading to White City @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social for the London #Polymer Group Meeting #LPG26! It’s well worth the trek for this SE dweller.

Made it to @oistedu.bsky.social! Check out my new office view! 🤩

An office door sign with my name on it, waiting for me

The view from my office: a constellation of buildings surrounded by greenery and the sea in the distance

One of the OIST buildings: the view from the 3rd(?) floor, showing a large open space that drops to the ground floor separating the 2 sides of the building. Several glass staircases connect the different levels across the 2 sides.

It feels real now it’s almost time to pack.. I’m excited to spend the fall visiting @luscombeoist.bsky.social @oistedu.bsky.social as a Theoretical Sciences Visiting Scholar! 🏝️🧬💻

Two books on a table, seen from above; the one to the bottom right (closed) is the Bradt guide to Okinawa. The one to the top left (open to reveal the Okinawa chapter) is the Lonely Planet Japan guide.

After 24h of travel back from Korea I managed to stay awake and not flunk my small part of this joint interview! Celebratory drinks 🥳

Speaking of seafood.. Today I ordered 🐙, & the kind restaurant lady asked “have you eaten this before?” Me: “sure yeah I love 🐙” Her: “this one.. moves.. a little bit” It was the freshest I’ve ever had 😂😅

Wrapping up an incredible week in #Jeju between #FPi16 shenanigans, hanging out with long-distance friends, and sharing our love of seafood 🦀 My first time in Korea was a blast 😊

After a couple of days in Hong Kong I arrived in Jeju for #fpi25 yesterday! Excited for a few days of science 🧪, food 😋 and catching up with friends

#SwiftPol can build polydisperse ensembles of polymer chains that mimic real -world polymers.

Flow chart depicting the polymer building process. Starting from target properties, SwiftPol generates an initial sequence and adds it to the system if it satisfies the blockiness and % of co-monomer targets. The accepted sequence is then built using reaction SMARTS and added to the system. This process is repeated until the total number of chains specified in the input has been reached.
