You've got to love (or in my case, "dread with every fibre of your being!") a bit of cheeky DFT on a Friday afternoon.

It's end of July and I'm sat in my office wearing two jumpers. Even more reason to be grateful for my imminent (and long overdue) annual leave, to be spent in MUCH warmer climes.

Congratulations to Professor Songi Han on the award of the Bruker Lecture Prize 2024! esr-group.org/conferences/20…

Teaching 2023 = done ✔️ Just the small matter of paper proofs/ 2 paper submissions/ expenses claims/ treasurer audits/ UG admissions queries/ urgent experiments to finish before I can sign off for the year.....😴

First work day of 2024 done (albeit WFH as a gentle route back into things). And now to sleep, because of course the body clock is still completely out of sync.

When you come into work especially for an in-person meeting, and it gets cancelled an hour beforehand - great start to the year😔

A commendation from student reps in a Cardiff University School of Chemistry Staff-Student panel, and a nomination for "Personal Tutor Award" at the Cardiff Students' Union #ESLAs, made for two very lovely birthday presents. 😍🙏🎁

Don't you just love a server maintenance day when you're frantically trying to get calcs finished for a conference talk?

Inorganic synthesis 👍; advanced spectroscopy (EPR/TAS/luminescence) 👌; DFT computation 🎯. If you're interested in any of the above, please get in touch to discuss project ideas.

Out Of Office (finally) on. I aim to be in an excess state of Cornish ice-cream/bakery-delights/cider goodness over the next few days......

Now THIS is what I call an ice-cream (local name "The Hedgehog") 🦔,🍦🤤

Cornwall, you did not disappoint. Sun, sea, cider. Fresh air, friends, fun times.
