MX Beamline Scientist at Australian Synchrotron. Crystals, chemistry and cooking. She/her
Despite having my job for almost 4 years now, I have never got around to decorating my office. Decided to get started with this little drawing of a pin- maybe I should make a series of all the different types? ๐ค๐

Project Hail Mary is a beautiful brilliant film. But molecular biologists be warned there's a deeply disturbing scene midway through when Ryan Gosling's scientist places two eppendorfs directly next to each other in an otherwise empty unbalanced microcentrifuge & sets it spinning with wild abandon.

Sir James Dewar, Scottish chemist, would be nominated for the Nobel 8 times, but you probably know him for his most famous invention, which never made him a penny, developed to hold ultra-cold liquified gases. You probably own a "Dewar vessel," but you know it as a Thermosโข. Let's talk about it.

MX beamline workshop. Bottom lines - match your crystal size to your beamline! Dont shoot a moving target. Wait for the loop position to stabilise. Rasterize to find your xtals. You need training to use MX3! All pins in puck must be the same!!

A tale in three parts- I was doing the end of year beamline clean and found paper towel to throw away. It was strangely heavy. Unwrapped it to find the word "NO" written on it. Unwrapped it further to find some screws. Where they come from or why they are "no" remains a mystery ๐ค ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐ตโโ๏ธ
