It is being a great week of electron microscopy talks in Slovenia for @europeanmicroscopy.bsky.social #17MCM conference!

A clear-eyed and inspiring read. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Did June feel much hotter than usual 🥵? Chances are it was not just a feeling.. 🌡️ Large areas of Europe affected by two major heatwaves 🌊 Temperatures in the Western Mediterranean exceptionally high Latest @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social analysis out today: 🔗 shorturl.at/xpzEv #climatecrisis #dataviz

Launch of the collection of sci-fi novels based on research at @iitalk.bsky.social - including a customised ice cream flavour!

Genoa airport looking very civilised after the update - very happy that they updated the X-ray to tomography scanners, so no need to take stuff out!

European fencing championships in Genoa about to start! #fencing

Timely and with lots of good points. Especially agree with the importance of time and effort. Let Us FIGURE It Out: Why Do Scientists Still Make “Bad” Figures? | ACS Materials Au pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

New paper out, led by @mannaliberato.bsky.social - fascinating heterostructures with metallic Bi attached to a nano-bell. Our contribution was an extensive TEM study to look at morphology, composition and local strain - thanks to Andrea Griesi for all the EM work! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

On #GlobalRecyclingDay here's a previous edition of #PeriodicGraphics in @cenmag.bsky.social looking at the recycling rates of different types of plastics and how the recycling process works: cen.acs.org/environment/... #ChemSky 🧪

A brief trip to Barcelona for the BIST symposium on microscopy - great to see so many engaged, brilliant students in the interdisciplinary MRes! And special thanks to @jarbiol.bsky.social for the hospitality!
