Back at gate 52, this time to the other side of the world for the first trip of our Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland JSPS jointly funded project with Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki #HelsinkiChemistry University of Helsinki - Radiochemistry Unit Env.Radiochem.Helsinki colleagues!

So fantastic to have great colleagues with different specialisms come together to push the science forward in nuclear accident impact studies! Thanks to our Finnish and Japanese funders Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland and JSPS 独立行政法人日本学術振興会（学振） and NHK WORLD News for documenting this important work!

Join us at #HelsinkiChemistry Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki University of Helsinki as a professor of Polymer Chemistry! jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Professor-…

Lovely work from Jenna, Merja, and team on U biogeochemistry. Thanks to all at Radioactive elements in waste disposal (UHelsinki) Env.Radiochem.Helsinki, VTT, Department of Biogeochemistry at the HZDR, and CTU Prague. Open access paper is at sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations to Dr Valtteri Suorsa who successfully defended his PhD yesterday against Docent Dr Sari Tuomikoski of University of Oulu. Valtteri, we are all ever so proud and wish you every success as you embark on you career STUK - Säteilyturvakeskus! Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki

Well done to all Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki PIs working in civil nuclear — a truly excellent result in this year’s SAFER2028 call. Our existing projects continue, 1 gets promoted to excellence status (way to go Soroush!), and the cherry on top — 2 new projects have been funded. Delighted 🥰

Welcome guys!

New TRIMteam University of Helsinki - Radiochemistry Unit Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki #HelsinkiChemistry doctoral researcher Jan Brokemper joins the team today! Jan’s research will be focused on new substrates for enzymatic radiofluorination of biomolecules.

Congratulations to Joyce Ang and colleagues from University of Helsinki - Radiochemistry Unit, ai4r, GTK, NUS SNRSI, and Kyushu University on our latest "hot" particle detection paper. Available at doi.org/10.1038/s41598….

New Fukushima Daiichi CsMP paper just out in Journal of Hazardous Materials |Letters |Advances — sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. Here the team Kyushu University CISAC & on Bluesky @stanfordcisac.bsky.social Faculty of Science, University of Helsinki (and others) present the first direct images of radioactive Cs atoms inside CsMPs. Thanks to our funders Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland JSPS 独立行政法人日本学術振興会（学振）.

Historic picture: It was incredibly exciting to see the beautiful pattern of Cs atoms in the pollucite structure. It’s sad that this was only possible due to a nuclear accident. New paper by University of Helsinki - Radiochemistry Unit University of Helsinki helsinki.fi/en/news/mathem…

Finland is on the cusp of becoming the world’s first country to bury spent nuclear fuel in a geological tomb where it will be stored for 100,000 years. Can it be done? Gareth Law, professor of radiochemistry at University of Helsinki explains. cnbc.com/2024/08/29/onk…
