Extremely happy to have been awarded a CCDC Young Crystallographer Prize @crystallography.org.uk @ccdc.cam.ac.uk Again, a big thank you to all who made it possible, particularly those shown in the slide.

Struggling with #Chemical #Crystallography refinement including anisotropy and other challenges? Check the videos by winner of the early career prize at the #BCASpring meeting @crystallography.org.uk on his YouTube youtube.com/@wojtekstaws... Well done Wojtek !

Congratulations to Wojtek Stawski, winner of the 2025 CCDC CCG prize.

Daren Fearon (XChem, Diamond) is the winner of the BSG prize lecture 2025 for his work on fragment based drug discovery.

Thanks to our #BCA25 commercial exhibitors for giving us updates on their latest products and developments, whilst keeping within a strict five minute constraint! Go and visit their stands for more information and discussion.

Alex Longcake (Newcastle) tells #BCA25 about a high throughput in-situ X-ray diffraction workflow during the BSG/CCG in-situ session

Ross Angel (CNR) on Crystal Palace. His favourite football team, and a program for parametric crystal structure analysis. He asks why we don't include parameter covariance in CIF for future analysis.

Pedro Nunes ( @diamondlightsource.bsky.social ) on HeXI, the high energy electron crystallography instrument

Let’s go! #bca25

Thank you to those who joined Emma Hawking's talk at #BCA25 yesterday about polymorphism and how it’s a crucial aspect that affects drug stability during manufacturing. Learn more: ccdc-info.com/3EqBchV #MaterialsScience #Pharma #DrugDevelopment

Our own @amyjayyyne.bsky.social from @diamondlightsource.bsky.social presenting VMXi at @crystallography.org.uk . Great talk!

Lucia Maini gives the CCG plenary lecture at #BCA25 "Be a crystallographer to to investigate the past present and future"

@robertpalgrave.bsky.social delivers the PCG plenary lecture at #BCA25 "The role of AI in materials discovery"

For decades, calculating crystal structures seemed an intractable problem. That is changing, but is computational crystal structure prediction ready to empower mainstream materials research? #ChemSky

Olivia Breen (UCD) on the diverse polymorphism in metal ammonia oxolate hydrate coordination polymers at BCA Spring Meeting 2025 #BCA25
