“Science has no passport, no gender, no ethnicity, no political party.” EC President Ursula von der Leyen, announcing a €500M initiative to attract top global talent. In a fractured world, science remains a unifying force – rooted in diversity, driven by curiosity, and shared by all humanity.

Essential snacks for Easter beam line experiments @diamondlightsource.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social

The microscopes have been put to sleep for the Easter break, the ducks are in a row and we couldn’t be having prettier London weather ❤️ @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @imperialmaterials.bsky.social

Excited to start my new role as academic champion in thin film materials @royceimperial.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @imperialmaterials.bsky.social www.imperial.ac.uk/news/262093/...

Postgrad seminar day! The group gave great talks and posters on thin film growth and all things wonderful microscopy from cryo atom to electron diff ptychography 🔬😎 @imperialmaterials.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social #microscopy

Jenny Nelson is the best. Sharing her wisdom on organic photovoltaics: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ChemSky

The Nano 2 MEng and MSc @imperialmaterials.bsky.social students presented their group posters yesterday. What a great way to end the teaching term ! @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social

🔬🚨💥 Deadline extension!! You now have until 28th Feb to get your abstracts submitted!! 🔬🚨💥

Metamaterials, invisibility and perfect lenses: a new world for electromagnetism! Loved the dancing electric & magnetic field dancing dancing description! @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social Dean’s Annual Lecture 2025 given by Sir Prof John Pendry ! #metamaterials

Into the SEM gluuuuu ! #microscopy #electronmicroscopy #APT @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @imperialmaterials.bsky.social @royceimperial.bsky.social

Meet our expert in advanced electron microscopy, Dr Shelly Conroy! 🔍✨ Her research is pushing the boundaries of materials science and microscopy! 🚀 Learn more: www.imperial.ac.uk/royce-facilities/our-staff/ 📽️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY2TjJRxzNg #MaterialsScience #ImperialCollegeLondon

“ERC succeeds because it’s different. Its simple, tailored procedures allow Europe’s best researchers to thrive. Bureaucratic processes designed for other programmes should not be imposed on it.” @marialep.bsky.social spoke up for an independent ERC with a doubled budget today @europarl.europa.eu

London duck bringing good luck for grant interview tomorrow in Germany 😎🙌

M&M abstract writing….Lukas changed the entire lyrics for Chappell Roan songs to APT themed Cold to Go! I could be the one cooling down the P-FIB Getting out a cell, and prepare to freeze it I can't use the GIS, but it's not a problem Make the needle thin with the ion column @batgo.bsky.social 🤣🤭

Pretty STEM Lorentz DPC of magnetic thin films from the @ukri.org #CAMIE grant @braggroyceleeds.bsky.social @imperialmaterials.bsky.social @royalmicrosoc.bsky.social #electronmicroscopy #Magnetic

To mark the @UNESCO International Day of Women & Girls in Science, EMA asked women working in magnetism: "Have you encountered any challenges in your scientific career that you feel could be directly linked to your gender?" #EveryVoiceInScience The vast majority of respondents said yes 😔. Read more👇

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science ! I’m so lucky to work with such awesome women in my research group ! Dr Yaqi Li, Mariana Palos-Sanchez, Ramin Jannat, Sophia Linssen-Pitsaros, Belle Hoye @imperialmaterials.bsky.social #WomeninSTEM @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social #microscopy

Baron Li doing STEM of magnetic thin films from @braggroyceleeds.bsky.social for the @ukri.org CAMIE grant 😎🧲 @imperialmaterials.bsky.social He still has original notes from his MSc on STEM alignment 🔬

Our News and Views about memristors operating at cryogenic temperatures just got published in Nature Materials. Check it out: rdcu.be/d9rOB @naturematerials.bsky.social

Dr @tigransimonian.bsky.social joined the group today ! Welcome to @imperialmaterials.bsky.social and the NAME programme grant 🔬🎉

Electrons are green! @imperialmaterials.bsky.social

Disney walk to the lab this morning 🙌 @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @imperialmaterials.bsky.social

Hello, Bluesky! ☀️ We fund frontier research in Europe—bold ideas, unexpected discoveries and science that shapes the future. So it’s only fitting we’ve landed here. Sorry for being late. Follow us for updates on ERC funding, research policy, and our grantees' discoveries.

Meeting of Minds @royalsociety.org yesterday with the awesome Jess Wade and catching up with the Éire URFs ! Then back to @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social for Imperial lates and weird science 🙌🔬 @imperialmaterials.bsky.social

Welcome to the better place, noted duckchographer @shellystem.bsky.social
