Congratulations to our Royal Society of Chemistry @RSC_MidsEd Top of the Bench Regional Final winning teams. 1st - Twycross House 2nd - Bishop Vesey’s Grammar and 3rd - Concord College! Twycross School Bishop Vesey's Grammar School Concord College Chem Birmingham Outreach@UOB

Well deserved win by Twycross House School for our Royal Society of Chemistry @RSC_MidsEd Top of the Bench Regional Final. They’re now through to the National Final in March! We wish them all the best. Twycross School Chem Birmingham

It was a real pleasure to host Mark Read at Keele University 🐿️ IOP Midlands #Physics Centre last night. Mark delivered a superb talk inc. why #Nuclear should be in the UK energy mix, how to immobilise HLW & how small modular reactors could form part of the soln. 67 in attendance!

Less than 24 hours after Mark Read addresses the Keele University 🐿️ IOP Midlands #Physics Centre, discussing #SmallModularReactors, look what appears on the BBC news website! It is as if those of us at Keele got a sneak preview! ☢️🔌👌 #RollsRoyce #Nuclear bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

Fantastic to stimulate public discussion at Keele University 🐿️ IOP Midlands on the role of #Nuclear in the UK’s Low Carbon Energy Future. Solution included Peter Slater advanced batteries and hydrogen fuel cells too. Birmingham Energy Chem Birmingham @SscgR @RSC_MidsEd

Indeed Scott Richard Walker, I’ve always been a staunch advocate for the British Rolls-Royce #uksmr17 UKnuclearSMR reactors to deliver low cost, low carbon and reliable energy for the UK to meet Climate Targets! ☢️🇬🇧! Birmingham Energy Chem Birmingham

Happy New Year to all my Chinese friends, colleagues and collaborators! May the Year of the Rat bring you prosperity. “Rats are clever, quick thinkers; successful, but content with living a quiet and peaceful life” China Institute @Xinchang9 Chem Birmingham Visit Xiamen

Great to see Dr Mike Read again... teaching us more about the chemistry of the universe. We're having an amazing time at the National Space Centre. Michael Read National Space Centre | Elfordstown Earthstation

From the use of spectroscopy in space, to nuclear reactors, energy, propulsion and batteries! Great to be invited back by National Space Centre to engage 8 local schools with Royal Society of Chemistry Chem@work workshops. @RSC_MidsEd Birmingham Energy Outreach@UOB Chem Birmingham

Thank you to Mark Mark Read for hosting our West Midlands and Birmingham local section meeting today Royal Society of Chemistry Trevor Birt Uni of Birmingham

Almost that time of yr when I lecture the Keele MSc ESGT students about the role of #Nuclear in an increasingly decarbonised energy landscape. Last year my lecture finished at #HinkleyC, but thanks to Mark Read, I've added 2 final slides on Rolls-Royce #SmallModularReactors ☢️🔌

Thanks Dr Peter Hoare ⌬ (Ph or pH? 🤔) ! I would be celebrating if we were allowed to hold any events on campus!! I was aware of Sir Norman’s connection with Newcastle University so a joint tribute is well justified. We’ll all be needing extra vitamin C if we’re confined too long! Hope you’re all well.

great home science expt to get children thinking about the challenge of recycling Li ion batteries by Beatrice Browning and R Madge. Chem Birmingham #relib College of Engineering & Physical Sciences Energy Materials Group (Birmingham) Birmingham Energy

Our Good Friday virginatlantic flight is loaded up with masks, eye protection and coveralls all donated by the Bank of China. We will be working over the Easter weekend to send more life saving supplies back to the NHS.

As populations rise, the issue of managing the growing waste caused by the population increase urgently needs to be addressed. In this article Professor Freer explores the issues & possible solutions of energy from waste technologies in the Midlands. #EfW birmingham.ac.uk/research/energ…

Looking forward to my 1st "virtual conference" when at 10:00 the NEON #TakingOutreachOnline summit begins. A v.important topic that needs serious consideration & action during these challenging times. #OutreachOnline is the hashtag for the event for those following on #Twitter

Looking forward to delivering the following outreach webinar! @RSC_MidsEd Birmingham Energy Outreach@UOB Chem Birmingham

Fascinating lecture this evening on Nuclear Chemistry Mark Read
