In my first year of my PhD, my boss said that he loved the recrystallisation of elemental sulfur because "it's easy and beautiful. It makes you feel like a brilliant chemist". He wasn't wrong. I do love recrystallising sulfur #thiophilic #chemistry #chemtwitter

What you don’t realise when you’re a postdoc is that you’re also partly a lab engineer. You’ll be fixing rotary evaporators, balances, combiflashes etc. A little “the balance is playing up, can you have a look at it?” from a student here and there. I love it.

I'm a scientist and in my first year at uni I was assigned to the "Curie college". I read up on her work... Apart from being a boss scientist she is a sensational person and a record breaking human. Since then she had been an idol of mine. 2 Nobel prizes in 2 sciences!?

I cooked my family dinner the other night - Satay chicken with pak choi, shiitake mushrooms and orange peppers. 10 min in my family say it’s nice, nothing special but nice. 15 min in my sister turns to my mam and says “Mam, can I have a jacket potato? Everyone has a critic

Cleared up and out for the rest of the year. Chemistry has been tough and difficult this year due to the pandemic. Some exciting results right at the end though. Let's hope 2021 has some good results #chemtwitter

And that’s the wrap for the year! First term of teaching @ChemistryatYork complete (with a little bit of research at the end)! Time for some rest and paper writing from my bed!

Yesterday, after 4 months, I ran a personal best half marathon (1:55:10) and I've lost a stone in weight. Feel miles better. God bless my Mam's home cooking! #weightloss #running
