I've had a wonderful time in Prague for the European Conference on Solid State Chemistry, with the highlight being the opportunity to deliver a talk on my latest work in the beautiful Brevnov monastery 💎

Happy tiny crystals day

We’re organising a functional dense MOF meeting at Kent for the 16th and 17th of April to bring together experts in these exciting materials with experts in characterizing functional properties. Further details, including abstract and registration, is at research.kent.ac.uk/mee/fundemof/

📢💎The Parkin Lecture Prize is open for nominations! Nominate yourself or another early career researcher for the prize! More info here: escg.crystallography.org.uk/prizes/

‼️ REMINDER - The deadline for nominations for the Parkin Lecture Prize is tomorrow! Check out our webpage for more details 👇

Keynote talks for FunDeMOF confirmed from Na batteries, supercapacitors, caloric cooling and piezoelectrics research.kent.ac.uk/mee/fundemof/. Deadline for abstracts to present your work at this exciting meeting on dense MOFs and related hybrid materials is on the 8th of March.

Abstract deadline for FunDeMOF at Kent has now been extended until next Friday (15th March) with an initial extension of the registration deadline until the 22nd of March! Bringing expertise in dense MOFs and hybrid materials with functional properties together!

Keep up to date with new research like 'Negative linear compressibility exhibited by the hybrid perovskite [(NH2)3C]Er(HCO2)2(C2O4)' by Paul Saines #openaccess buff.ly/4c6NgAL

Glad to see this study of an interesting NLC hybrid perovskites lead by Thomas Hitchings and involving great collaborators at Imperial and Diamond in print!

Calling all Early Stage Crystallographers!! Our AGM is on Monday 25th at the Satellite Meeting of the BCA Spring Meeting 💎 There are a number of committee positions available this year. You can find out more information about the available roles here: escg.crystallography.org.uk/escg-agm-agend…

On the way to Leeds for the ESCG Satellite Meeting of the BCA Spring Meeting! #BCA2024 Don't forget about our AGM at 17.15 today! There's still time to register your interest in joining our committee 💎💎💎

Yesterday we held our first AGM as the newly named ESCG and welcomed a number of new committee members!💎 Congratulations all! 🎉 Say hello to your new ESCG committee 👋

This morning our Parkin Lecture prize winner Alex Brown gave an open and honest talk on what it means to be a successful scientist 💎 Our final session speakers gave brilliant talks on everything from hybrid improper ferroelectrics to the National Electron Diffraction Facility!

Wonderful to catch up with everyone at the BCA in Leeds - Mario kart, ceildihing and giving my first main meeting talk! 🎮💎🎤BCA ESCG
