A total shock & unexpected treat that brought me to immediate tears at the end of #MASC2025 🥺🥹 It was so good to see you & hear your voice again, Fraser. Also to know that you were already so excellent & accutely aware of the power of science communication frm early on in your career. We miss you ❤️

Attended the MASC conference in Milton Keynes. It was a great conference with a lot of interactions. Thanks a lot for the organizers and looking forward to the future MASC conferences! #MASC2025 @rsc-masc.bsky.social

Wow, that’s a lot of brilliance in one photo! 😍 Are you sure you’re allowed to all be in the same place at the same time? Merry Christmas all! 🎄🎅#MASC2025 #RSC_MASC

Two amazing days at #MASC2025 in Milton Keynes with outstanding science and amazing people! Great to see both old and new friends from all over the world! Our team also got not one but two poster prizes - congrats @anjaramstrom.bsky.social and @nicolesdlt.bsky.social - you rock 🤩🍀🥳🎉!

This week I had the opportunity to present my results at the @rsc-masc.bsky.social meeting. It's hard to put into words the impression this meeting left on me, but imagine two intense days packed with inspiring science and even more amazing people. Thank you to the organizers!🙏🏻 #MASC2025 #RSC_MASC

That’s all folks!

Thanks to everyone involved in organising these fantastic 2 days @openuniversity.bsky.social.

Hope everybody had a great time with all the stimulating science. Happy Christmas 🎄and see you next year in……Sheffield!

“After all, research supervisors are just as good as their students” — Sir J. Fraser Stoddart.

A wise take-home message from one of the founding fathers of MASC—who sadly passed away almost a year ago—in a 1991 BBC broadcast.
