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
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
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!
