Perfect name for something you use for your science and not give any credit
Come and work with me! The Austron is hiring a chemistry focused beamline scientist on the MX beamlines! Get in touch if you are interested ๐๐งช๐ฉโ๐ฌ

Nobody here calls it a โfootyโ ball. Itโs a โfootballโ. I would go soccer ball vs rugby ball.
Great day yesterday talking to the kids of the LabRats Science Club (labratclub.com) about all things MOFs and Nobels. These weekend science clubs are so rare and wonderful - true diamonds in the rough. Still not convinced about the cardboard cutouts though...

Here's the latest distribution map. 53 more schools have signed up since the post below! The most recent order is from a remote school in the Pilburra (NW part of WA), somewhere down the track in the photo. The Satellite view reinforces how remote it is. They also have an #elementsets on its way!
We just crossed the milestone of the 500th school to sign up for their crystal explorer kit!! #BraggYourPattern
Good luck. We all have inflection points in our life (even if we don't recognise them all at the time), and this will be an important one in yours. Welcome to the time zones where all the cool kids play.

Attention crystallographers and X-ray Analysts of Australia and New Zealand!!
The SCANZ/AXXA conference this year will be in my beautiful home state of South Aus (I'm not biased at all ๐).
Save the date! ๐

Didn't catch it all as I was doing socials at the same time, but MX2 is down for six months for refurbishments, lasers and pressure stuff on MX1, and amazing serial xtlog on MX3 are my main recollections.
