Ever wonder what it was like to help create a new field of chemistry? Wonder no more... #ozchem #MOFs #BraggYourPattern The crystal engineering foundations of the MOF Nobel Prize - now published in CrystEngComm pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Perfect name for something you use for your science and not give any credit

Come and work with me! The Austron is hiring a chemistry focused beamline scientist on the MX beamlines! Get in touch if you are interested 💎🧪👩‍🔬 #ozchem careers.ansto.gov.au/job/Melbourn...

Congratulations to Helen Maynard-Casely and Team for the winning project Crystal-a-con in a Box 🙌 @crystallised-cricket.com

Great day yesterday talking to the kids of the LabRats Science Club (labratclub.com) about all things MOFs and Nobels. These weekend science clubs are so rare and wonderful - true diamonds in the rough. Still not convinced about the cardboard cutouts though... #OzChem

Here's the latest distribution map. 53 more schools have signed up since the post below! The most recent order is from a remote school in the Pilburra (NW part of WA), somewhere down the track in the photo. The Satellite view reinforces how remote it is. They also have an #elementsets on its way!

We just crossed the milestone of the 500th school to sign up for their crystal explorer kit!! #BraggYourPattern

Attention crystallographers and X-ray Analysts of Australia and New Zealand!! The SCANZ/AXXA conference this year will be in my beautiful home state of South Aus (I'm not biased at all 😉). Save the date! 💎 #BraggYourPattern #Ozchem

No, you’re easily distracted! #crystallography #curling #winterolympics

Are you a #Crystallographer and thinking about going to @iucr2026.bsky.social? Do you have a project/idea/discussion point about Crystallography outreach? Then submit an abstract by 15th Feb to MS15 'Engaging all with crystallography' event.fourwaves.com/iucr-2026/sc...

A colleague just incredulously emailed me this article and I, completely unsurprised, noted that while teaching I had at least two students try to eat copper sulfate crystals. Something about those blue crystals is clearly too alluring! www.tes.com/magazine/new... #ChatChemistry

⁉️The ARC has delayed outcomes of ALL grants 1–4 months & increased scheduled outcome windows from 2 weeks to 3 months! This reverses 4 years of progress in providing greater certainty & ability to plan for researchers, their families & unis. Their excuse? Security checks under new ARC legislation👇

A final #NobelPrize post - video of the post-banquet dancing. I hope you've all enjoyed all the photos and videos of the week - I wasn't planning to post so many, but everyone kept asking for more! Well that's it folks - I don't have any left. Back to the real world now. #ozchem

The #NobelPrize banquet ended with dancing in another room upstairs. #ozchem
