Great start to my trip to 🇨🇳 giving an invited talk at Jiangsu Normal University, Xuzhou. Dr Yang Yang was an incredibly welcoming host yangyanglab.net A great day of exciting science discussions, wonderful food, and fascinating history and culture!

Fantastic time at ISMSC2024 Five days of phenomenal science. Thank you to all our Chinese hosts for their amazing hospitality. Will come home inspired with lots of new ideas.

On final part of trip to China I had a great time giving an invited lecture at East China Normal University. Lots of fun intellectual discussions with host Dawei Zhang m.x-mol.com/groups/zhang_d… and former colleagues Roy Lavendomme and Lin Xu.

Catching up with former MRes student in the group Yucong Fan in Shanghai, now working at a chemical company in China. Thanks for showing me round!

Ben Pilgrim showing us how to use hydrogen bonds to control the formation of Pd2L4 lantern complexes with controlled arrangement of ligands. Comments welcome on their preprint! Cool stuff.

Alfie's first trip to #dogsatpollingstations

Fantastic visit to KAUST KAUST Lots of great science discussed. Many thanks to Niveen and group for inviting me to talk and for the wonderful hospitality Khashab Group-ShmsLab including a chance to go snorkelling! 🤿

We were happy to have you Ben Pilgrim! Glad you enjoyed our backyard 🌊🐠 You’re welcome anytime!
