I had the fun opportunity to write a #News&Views for @natchem.nature.com, published today: "Interfacial water controls oxygen evolution beyond the catalyst" highlighting recent work by Oener, Roldan Cuenya et al. from @fhi-mpg.bsky.social If you are interested, give it a read here: rdcu.be/feOjg

Fantastic day at the office after the Easter break. Not only did I get a Gækkebrev, Danish traditional Easter letter, but also the Easter bunny hid eggs around my office and beyond
Interested in a PhD in materials, electrocatalysis and structure characterization? You want to dive into research & be part of a young, motivated group environment? And you don't mind grey & windy weather in Copenhagen π©π° a couple of months/year? Apply right here: employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=16...

Und damit verabschiede ich mich auch schon wieder. Ich hoffe euch hat der kleine Einblick in den Forscheralltag in Kopenhagen gefallen und ihr habt Lust auf mehr Chemie bekommen. Folgt gerne mit auf @rpittkowski.bsky.social wenn ich mal wieder von Beamtime Experimenten live berichte.
Sharing one of my favorite beam time photos on @realscientists.de -after an exhausting experiment the "please take me back home" on the @diamondlightsource.bsky.social mugs really spoke to me π΄β π©βπ¬ @lightsources.bsky.social #scienceneversleeps
Busy cycling paths on the way to work this morning - enjoying a lot of spring sun these days.

Are you interested in new #materials for #energy #conversion reactions and always wanted to learn more about (high entropy) #alloys? You enjoy a cool summer breeze and the Danish countryside - join our CHEAC summer school 2025! @dg.dk
Be quick - Early π¦ registration until end of April
I will be active on @realscientists.de this week - brush up your German π©πͺ to follow along for a week on #electrocatalysis #greentransition and life as an assistant professor in Denmark π©π° π©βπ¬
Beautiful annual report form @maxivlaboratory.bsky.social highlighting the exciting science at MaxIV - check it out & have a look at p.63 where a fun collaboration from #CHEM @ucph.bsky.social with #Szeged University is featured. My 1st time working with #XAS of metal sites in protein structuresπ§ͺπ©βπ¬
Great day in Gothenburg today, visiting #chalmers university for the first time, for their conference on #electrochemistry. Lots of inspiring talks, discussion on operando X-ray techniques, endless coffee, and sun. What's not to love?
Women in Science.
Letβs celebrate the International #womenday and recognize the importance of diversity in science.
#womeninscience
I met them also at the synchrotron in Brookhaven π¦π¦π¦ - though no bike paths/ turkey paths there
Lecture preparation and course admin are a looooot of work, but so rewarding to teach #Chemistry in the #green #energy transition. @ucph.bsky.social
And nice to get to work off of campus with a good coffee β in #Vesterbro #Copenhagen this afternoon
This winter I am teaching a new course #GreenEnergy #Chemistry in the green energy transition @ucph.bsky.social
Yesterday the students brain stormed topics for project ideas on #lifecycles of chemicals β»οΈπ§ͺβοΈ. Very excited for their #project #work and #creativity
#WomeninSTEM #STEMeducation
πOur department at the Technical University of Denmark is looking for an assistant/associate professor in *any* chemical discipline! π§ͺπ©π°
Check it out and feel free to get in touch π¬

In the beautiful "festauditoriet" of Copenhagen University @ucph.bsky.social this afternoon π what a wonderful place for a meeting to get inspired on collaboration possibilities with Japanese #research πΎβ©οΈπΌ
We are happy to have him π
Beautiful sunny day at the @esrf.fr today ππ fueling the #weekend #Science with lots of #caffeine and #chocolate. π§ͺπ©βπ¬
#scienceneversleeps @lightsources.bsky.social
The view seems better than at the beamline @esrf.fr - but the #photons are better in the ring than above it π€ I tried to match the #Xray #scattering to the #sunset π
Welcome back!
Welcome to Bluesky @ge3c-rseqf.bsky.social! And welcome to 'Blueskattering' as well! go.bsky.app/MoRWz57 Here you can find many awesome crystallography related profiles to make your daily feed exciting π
Always happy to be back at the #ESRF @esrf.fr for some fresh #photons after the winter shutdown and lovely #mountain views in #Grenoble ποΈ
I really love how #creative I can get to work sometimes π» the last two days were full of discussion and engagement within our @dg.dk #CHEAC research center and I had so much fun to organize a session on #Science #dating to foster #collaboration between the groups in the center
One of the (many) perks of life in #Copenhagen is that #Sweden is just across the sound π©π°ππΈπͺ So today I got an der early train to Lund, got a coffee β and Swedish cinnamon bun π€© and am now heading to the MaxIV user meeting @maxivlaboratory.bsky.social for a day full of #synchrotron #Science
It is great to see that more than 60 German universities and research institutes left X #eXit today
"The platform is not compatible with the fundamental values of the participating institutions, such as openness to the world, transparency and democratic discourse" idw-online.de/de/news845520
New year, new platform π₯³ I am excited to start engaging with the #Science community here, and bring you (hopefully) fun insights into our experiments with #electrochemistry and #X-rays π«
