The history of micropipettes that you didn't know you wanted to know

Today, I got my 50th free bag of crisps from #nhs blood and transplant! And now I get a gold badge as well apparently 🏅♥️. Give ♥️ if you can - it's an easy way to help others, and you can have biscuits if you don't like crisps!

A tribute to George Sheldrick and SHELX and the impact on macromolecular and small-molecule crystallography journals.iucr.org/a/issues/202...

Loved this article yesterday about the importance of cryoEM to drug discovery and understanding human health.

So thrilled to have joined Thermo Fisher just in time to be involved with this exciting development 🤩🎉
