I'd like a UK prime minister that could organise an umbrella on a rainy day

I just learned presenters at conferences in the humanities literally read an entire paper out loud.

Are y’all okay?

Upconverting Nanoparticles Coated with Light-Breakable Mesoporous Silica for NIR-Triggered Release of Hydrophobic Molecules | ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Crafted with a semi-transparent, flexible film that’s ductile and malleable, this artwork embodies the non-toxic, odorless, and self-sealing nature of Parafilm, stretching the boundaries of creativity

🧵🚨THREAD ALERT!🚨🧵

Last week, I shared a tweet poking fun at M&S's cheeseburger pasta salad. What I didn't expect was that it would result in write-ups on both local and national news websites.

However, as it's been almost a week, I have a confession...

Yesterday I successfully defended my PhD. Huge thank you to the examining committee for a very enjoyable and constructive viva! My PhD has been a blast from start to finish, I’ve been so lucky to have had so many opportunities. I’ve had the best supporters along the way! Cheers🎉

Many congratulations to Dr Lauren E for passing her PhD today! What a superstar!!! Thanks to Bridgeen Callan, Lewis MacKenzie and Lau research group 👏👏👏👏

This is a cool thread!

In order to claim expenses paid ina foreign currency my company's HR system requires me to justify why I didn't use GBP...
(It also requires me to state the start and end locations of a meal)

This has been a really good bit of kit to have. I can be confident my team can work safely 😁👍

Also we just released a preprint about using autoclaves for upconversion nanoparticle synthesis

Can you handle the pressure?

Lewis MacKenzie can.

Utilising the PressureSyn from Asynt Lab Supplies (developed by Steve Howdle UoN Chemistry) Lewis is able to perform reactions at high pressure safety & easily.

Update to the job situation: a prof I was meant to be doing a project for this summer was made redundant accidentally and turns out she is staying. As a result I might be unfired until August. People are wading through administrative gridlock to figure things out.
