An Oxford solution to the promotion of two US Navy officers studying at one of the furthest inland UK universities.

Even on a Sunday teaching undergrads never stops... Here practising carrying the canopy for the Blessed Sacrament for the annual Oxford Corpus Christi Procession carried, as is customary, by four undergraduates of the University.

One of the highlights of teaching has to be celebrating student achievements. A great night at this year's first 'Schools Dinner' yesterday, celebrating the Balliol College chemists finishing their final exams. The sun even appeared so we could enjoy the Fellows' Garden in bloom.

The first paper from my PhD is out now in PCCP! Thanks to Langton Research Group Faulkner_Group and Thomas Just Sørensen for all your help and Villads for being the best collaborator ever :)

Encaenia Day in Oxford, which means honorary degrees and commemoration of the University's benefactors (and, of course, dressing up). Perhaps one of this year's honorary degrees is also a call for a Latin translation of Monty Python?

A lovely few days in Aberystwyth to relax after the end of term, visit my brother and enjoy the delightful scenery.

Even on holiday, the conical flasks follow...

University: before and after (2015-24) Much to the disbelief of 18-year-old me, two weeks ago I graduated with a DPhil in Inorganic Chemistry OxICFM. Hugely grateful to everyone who shaped the past 9 years and made it all possible. Thankfully this isn't goodbye to Oxford!

Three years ago today... God is good!
