Arrived into Hamburg today to start the next part of the postdoc adventure @ DESY! Granted, it was an historically poor time to move country and I may not technically "speak German"...but I'm back in the EU, pubs are open and I'm gonna carry on firing lasers into plasmas 💪🏼😂🇩🇪

A news & views piece Prof Stuart Mangles and I wrote for Nature Photonics about a new class of laser plasma accelerators hoping to tackle the problem of dephasing by carefully manipulating the laser pulse shape in space and time. rdcu.be/b5R3I

Maybe Pope Leo XIV should put his money where his mouth is and bankroll it. Not exactly strapped for cash in the vatican are they... BBC News - Coronavirus: Pope's vaccine plea and universities facing 'crazy demand' bbc.co.uk/news/uk-538393…

This is super impressive stuff 👌🏼 A clear demonstration that LPAs can be well controlled and can act as stable electron sources for research and applications

Standing at a whiteboard rotating a marker in my hand and waving it about like a lunatic...either it's too late on a Friday or I'm trying to figure out S vs P polarisations in our system in my head...or both...

I feel this is one laser safety product which has not received nearly enough recognition... #doggles youtube.com/watch?v=amUg7w…

It's not a real beamline unless it comes from the Synchrotron region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling Bremsstrahlung

Me: Can I get one of those forms, I want to order some equipment. German: I'm sorry that's not possible, you need to request the forms. Me: Ok...How do I do that? German: Oh that's easy, you just need one of these forms! Me: 🤦
