Had a lot of fun presenting my work on alkali-metal nickelates at #ICOMC2022 😎 It's been a great week with lots of amazing chemistry, and it's been incredible to catch up with old friends and make so many new friends too!
New lab photos 😎
Kicking off conference season in St Andrews at the Canada-UK Joint Symposium on Coordination Chemistry 🇬🇧🇨🇦
When your crystals look like ingots of bronze! 🤩
