I love while I'm on holiday I get to catch up on my reading list. Three great books, highly recommended. More to go! Rutger Bregman #sarahwinman #tinman #whenbreathbecomesair

Hypothetical second #Brexit referendum voting intentions (average of 4 polls) from BBC. Really drives home the fact Brexit is the antithesis of forward-thinking.

1. Royal baby 2. Royal baby 3. End of world Right then.

Very very good news from Public Health England: the vaccine works on the Delta/Indian variant Pfizer 96% effective against hospitalisation after 2 doses AstraZeneca 92% effective against hospitalisation after 2 doses This is a lot better than experts had previously feared

Jack’s paper on “characterising lithium-ion electrolytes via operando Raman microspectroscopy” is featured in the Editors’ Highlights of Nature Communications. Oxford Materials Faraday Institution nature.com/collections/dm…

Great to read that superconc electrolyte thermo/activity coeffs are getting more attention Got a little something cooked up with Anna B Gunnarsdóttir & Jack Fawdon on this soon 👀 Measuring thermo factors in consistent manner is important too: doi.org/10.1016/j.elec…

Check out Jack’s paper in ChemRxiv on operando Raman microspectroscopy to [1] visualize concentration gradients in an ionic liquid electrolyte (LiFSI Pyr1,3FSI) [2] isolate the “main four” transport and thermodynamic properties [3] detect large clustering chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Lovely reading this Joule preview on our work with Anna B Gunnarsdóttir Grey Group & Jack Fawdon pastagroup! Also lovely officially becoming another one of the gazillion Wang et als cell.com/joule/fulltext…

Check out Jack’s paper in The Journal of Physical Chemistry where we use operando Raman to [1] visualize concentration gradients in LiFSI Pyr1,3FSI [2] measure the “main four” transport and thermodynamic properties [3] detect gravimetric sedimentation of large clusters!pubs.acs.org/articlesonrequ…

A List of Things People Blamed on Jazz 🧵

Back in Oxford for the DPhil graduation 👨‍🎓📜

Loving 'Songs We Love' playlist. Thanks The Staves (also thanks for the beautiful gig in Leeds City Varieties on Thursday!)

18-24 year olds. I beg you on my gnarled and brittle knees; register to vote, and then vote. A solid 18-24 vote will make a big difference.
