So happy to finally share my illustrated Schlenk line tutorial which is now online in Organometallics! 🥳

Nice selection of colours for today's lithium nickelates!! 🌈
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!
