A few highlights from RSPB Nagshead: Hawfinch, vole and dung beetle.

Interested in joining us at the early career colloid conference? Abstract submission is open!

Abstract submission is now extended to the 30th of April so you still have the opportunity to present your research at ECCo 2024. For more details visit: eccolloid.co.uk/ecco-2024/

I really enjoyed attending the disordered materials user group meeting - a great opportunity to give some updates on our work, get the inside scoop on new insights from other users, and to foster new friendships and collaborations.

Abstract submission closes on Tuesday the 30th of April - join us at UCL!

Abstract submission closes today! If you are interested in highlighting your research, submit your abstract by midnight tonight.

Abstract submission is now closed, but you still have time to register! Join us at UCL on the 20th-21st of June. Registration closes on the 7th of May.

Thanks to all our attendees for fascinating talks and illuminating discussions. Thanks also to our sponsors for supporting this event. See you all next year!

Very pleased to see this recent work get some wider publicity. New adhesives to improve plastic recycling systems - sustainability excellence from UniRdg Chemistry Uni of Reading phys.org/news/2025-02-p…

Just accepted: exciting work with colleagues at University of Oxford ISIS Neutron and Muon Source We used total scattering and simulations to uncover solvation mechanisms in model cytosol - pointing toward strategies used in nature to survive in extreme environments pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

I am delighted to be nominated for the Uni of Reading teaching excellence award. As usual our students are the real stars and it is a pleasure to help them on their journey.

There is still time to submit an abstract for ECCo 2025 - just us at Aston!
