Thanks PHYCONET for funding my travel to #Vietnam w. ChuckGroup University of Bath for Vietnamese Algae Conversion Workshop. Should be a cracker!

So what was in that #mysterybox? Drumroll please... A liquid-phase pyrolysis reactor! Great suggestions though Mike Allen 👨‍🔬 Andrew Landels

Tickets for #Vietnam booked! 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 Can't wait to talk #algae at HUMG in Hanoi with Mike Allen 👨‍🔬 Joe Donnelly Chien Dinh Le @Sonia_Raikova

@RDUatBath Liquid-phase pyrolysis reactor - so much better than a Christmas tree! Festive points for the great guess though 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

@RDUatBath Make biofuels, save the world! 🌱🌍

@RDUatBath (temptation to say "liquid phase pyrolysis" was overwhelming though...)

SPOTTED: a Chuck returning to its natural habitat

@diezmannlab Coffee! No seriously... Coffee biodiesel

@diezmannlab Extracting pure coffee oil in hexane... ☕️ Has hipster coffee culture gone too far? (It also makes a great biofuel feedstock!)

Fantastic evening celebrating Uni of Bath 50 years & showcasing our #sustainability research with @UniofBathAlumni and friends Royal Institute of British Architects in London.

Thank you @Sonia_Raikova for today's tenuous research festive fact about our flight home #ChristmasCountdown #Sustainability #PhD #GreenFuel

Huge congratulations to the new Dr Jonathan Wagner !! Phenomenal thesis and no corrections. Amazing job, Jon! ChuckGroup @BathChemEng

Vietnamese Algae Conversion Workshop is going well! Cracking day of talks from all incl. @Sonia_Raikova ChuckGroup!

Q) What do you get if you put 4 damp scientists in a Vietnamese Positive Pressure corridor? A) Lots of Phun! (Vietnamese for drizzle 😂)

Exciting day ahead! (note: this post is extremely belated. The day is now over. It was a good day.) Mike Allen 👨‍🔬 @Sonia_Raikova

Finally mastered how to deal with having a photo with University of Bath & @BathChemEng's 6'7" @jdonnelly100. #ilovemycagoule

Final day of the Algal Conversion Workshop, sampling the lakes.... Lovely Vietnamese algae on the #microbescope w. ChuckGroup

If there's something strange in your algal pond, who yer goner call? Thanks Mike Allen 👨‍🔬 !

Entertaining and invigorating talk from Mike Allen 👨‍🔬 - nice to see you on Bath soil!
