My wife Meg made me this amazing terrarium and you gotta love the glowy flowers #fluorescentfridays

Not everyday you get to see this. Ra-226 is not too bad, its daughters make me wanna cry. #sblockrocks Photocred: Jacob Brannon group kicking ass cred: team Thomas Albrecht-Schönzart

Doesn’t look like much, but that’s enough Ra-226 to last us for years. Targeted syntheses begin shortly. Thank you Oak Ridge Lab the sample is perfect. #radium #nuclear Colorado School of Mines Oak Ridge LabIsotopes

Meg took this gorgeous picture of our building in Colorado. It’s coming together nicely. #nuclear #fblockrocks

Mountains and rad crystals are the only logo requirements? You’ve got it 😇🖤✨Thomas Albrecht-Schönzart

Just a short year ago we were purifying neptunium and it was so pretty

Super excited to share the first guanidinate yttrium complexes containing bipyridyl and bis(benzimidazolyl) radicals 😊😎! Studies include VT EPR and DFT.
Thanks Inorganic Chemistry for the invite to the special issue on Rare Earth and Actinide chemistry.

Whilst Christopher Nolan was busy making a film about Los Alamos, we were busy doing chemistry with them. Beyond delighted to share our work on the isolation of Pu=C plutonium carbene complexes, and their comparison to Ce, Pr, Sm, U, and Np analogues. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
