A great approach: "analysis of #CrystalStructures in science classes at #HighSchools offers a wide range of opportunities for illustrating and improving understanding of fundamental #StructuralChemistry concepts"😀 doi.org/10.1107/S160... @japplcryst.iucr.org #K12 #crystallography #Education

So many patterns! 😍🥰 collecting some crystallography teaching examples at the Melbourne quilt fair. #BraggYourPattern

Science funding for workforce and infrastructure is a long term investment, in which Australia is getting further and further behind. This article articulates the problem beautifully: theconversation.com/new-report-r... #ozchem

Found some crystallites in a kids ball pool with my son #BraggYourPattern

Does this count for #BraggYourPattern ?

Wanna learn #Crystallography? Base in Australia or NZ? Worth noting that you've got another week or so to apply for this year's crystallography school

Come work with me! The synchrotron is hiring a *permanent* MX beamline scientist with chemical crystallography experience. If you like crystals and fixing things, this is the job for you! 👩‍🔬🔧💎🤖 australian-nuclear.contactrh.com/jobs/12/4355...

I didn't expect the job of a beamline scientist would involve so much time with a screwdriver, but I'm not mad 👩‍🔧 Job of the day: turn a bunch of 8 shelf sample holders into 7 shelf sample holders

Some say that #MOF were discovered in 1900s, but this figure from 1760s clearly show a crystal structure of a MOF with inclusion in pores. Look - metal centers, linkers, guest molecules, all in! #MOF #chemsky #BraggYourPattern reporting from Portugal

Popped into the Australian Synchrotron today, love how many posters and pictures they have up all over the place - DYK that 10 minerals have been discovered on their MX beamlines?

Christmas came early 🤩 I am incredibly fortunate to step into the (giant) footsteps of St Edmund Hall’s inorganic chemists, including Mike Mingos, who has kindly gifted me his extensive collection of crystal structure models. A dream for any solid state chemist and an incredibly useful resource 💛🧡❤️

Great write up of Larissa's work searching for a co-crystal between pyridine and diacetylene, and what implication it could have for Saturn's moon Titan. www.ainse.edu.au/how-saturns-...

New skill unlocked that I didn't expect to learn when I became a beamline scientist 🔌⚡️👩‍🔧 My first relay board, which will become part of the detector safety system in MX3

We're currently reaching out to schools via email and facebook group - but any contacts very welcome! Drop us a DM if you are from a regional or remote primary school in Aus and NZ and would like this free resource! [Photo credit Jun Aisima]

Many in the #Crystallography community will remember this (and may have helped put part of it together). Our record breaking diamond structure built at the 2023 IUCr congress in Melbourne [Photo credit Jun Aishima]

Not to 'Bragg' but we have a VERY exciting project brewing and looking forward to getting the word out. Our crystal explorer kits are nearly ready for launch. Check back on Monday to find out more.... #BraggYourPattern

Just recieved my Atlas of Fourier Transforms that I backed on kickstarter last year. It might be the most beautiful book I own 😍🥰💎 #BraggYourPattern

Just out online in @natrevchem.nature.com - my article on the #elementsets project. Read all about the journey from crazy and naive late night thought bubble to 1.5 million better student lessons on the periodic table here: rdcu.be/el2F4. #ozchem #outreach

A great up of another project by one the BraggYourPattern team - sending element sets all over Australia! (Was the inspiration for our Crystal Explorer kits, due to hit the wild very soon!)

Peer-Pressure Crystallisation: A Comprehensive Study

Participants in the annual serial crystallography workshop for graduates student some funded by our @wellcometrust.bsky.social PhD program have got homework to do in the evening time …. @diamondlightsource.bsky.social @instruct-eric.bsky.social

... aaand its Fourier transform 💥 #Braggyourpattern #crystallography #totalscattering #Fouriertransform

Much excitement today with the very first users *ever* on MX3. Pretty amazing that in a few short years the old dewar handling area has turned into a fully functioning beamline! So keen for all the science to come! 👩‍🔬🧪💎 #ozchem

And here we have the reciprocal space sister image, 52nd entry on behance.net/specialdefects 🌟 #BraggYourPattern #Crystallography #sciart #totalscattering

I'll soon share a nice #singlecrystal #MOF #totalscattering work I've been hatching for a while with some great scientists... but since it's taking a while for seeing it online I thought I'd treat you all with an artistic collage of the data 😏 ...stay tuned! #BraggYourPattern #crystallography

George Sheldrick will be missed🕯️🕯️🕯️#SHELX #crystallography #education

A new platform, but the same crystal content 💎

Detour on the way back to Diamond just for @whitejm.bsky.social 🪲🎶 @tjfellowes.bsky.social @catthomson.bsky.social

Happy International Women & Girls in Science Day 2025 #WomenInScience #womeninSTEM #IDWGS

These jobs aren’t “added”, they’ve been brought on-book, which is cheaper and more reliable. Dutton just wants to give the APS wages budget to PwC et al #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

And now we've convinced them to join bluesky! The more crystallographers the better 💎 @whitejm.bsky.social @catthomson.bsky.social

Nothing suspicious here, just 4 Aussies infiltrating Diamond...🤔 @tjfellowes.bsky.social

Have not had time to play in a lab for quite a while, but it is what it is. Here's an old photo of glowing little crystallites #chemsky #fluorescentfriday

Hi Australian Researchers. I have a plan. Let's thank the amazing @arc-tracker.bsky.social for a decade of selfless work by nominating them for a Eureka Prize (Leadership in science). Are you with me? If so, repost this. Please also reply and state your support for this quest. We can do this people.

Our latest review is out on two of our favourite topics! Here we discuss 'chemistry beyond the framework', highlighting the role that Supramolecular Chemistry plays in Metal–Organic Framework Materials. doi.org/10.1002/adma... @nchampness.bsky.social

After I wore my Bragg t-shirt (from IUCr2023) so much the print came off, I decided to hand embroider the design. I'm so happy with how it turned out! #crystallographerswhocraft (I don't think I've seen this tag before, but I think it should be one)

My uncle has been a prospector his whole life and found a bunch of gemstones in a creek near where he grew up, never knowing exactly what they were. He dropped off a battered old rivet tin to the 'tron with these little beauties, and today I got to run some of them 😍

If any crystallographer has wondered what it feels like to be inside a crystal, I would recommend the Yayoi Kusama exhibition 🤩💎

(although as a parent I'd be the happiest I've been in a long while)
