If you love long baseball games, may I introduce you to the joys of five day test match cricket.

ARC says Discovery Projects outcomes will be tomorrow (Tuesday). Linkage Projects (2025, round 1) on Wed. Over past ~year, it's often been at about 11am (Canberra). My bot will pick up the change to RMS & post immediately. ARC should email outcomes to lead CIs, but might take an 1hr or so for DPs

Google Scholar has introduced a 'Sh-index' metric that scores papers higher if you are first or last author. Apart from the fact metrics are generally bad, this one explicitly punishes PIs who often collaborate, publishing with 2 or 3 equal PIs at the end of the list. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I finally wrote some basic documentation for OCC, including some nice (I think) interactive examples in the web browser using the virtual file system in WASM. Proof of concept for tutorials/teaching in the future I hope! getocc.xyz

Every now and then I might post important concepts on single crystal diffraction analysis from my recent review. Today, this wrapped-up version of figure 1 reminds us what we lose in the process, and what we actually gain at the end: a model 💎 #crystallography #MOFs pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Happy to share this little tutorial review: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... #crystals #flexible #chemistry

So glad they included Robson #chemnobel

BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal-organic frameworks” Stay tuned for more. #NobelPrize

Been hoping for this for years!! Congratulations Robson, Yaghi, and Kitagawa- all founders of a field I'm very proud to be part of!! #OzChem

Fantastic to see one of my chemical heroes, Richard Robson, winning the Nobel Prize for coordination frameworks (MOFs), together with Kitagawa and Yaghi. #ozchem

ARC has provided a bit of info about Discovery Projects EOI shortlisting process here ▶️ www.arc.gov.au/sites/defaul... 🔹27.7% success rate – 1127 shortlisted of 4063 EOIs 🔹43 EOIs with "disparate scores" were rescued 🔹All EOIs reviewed by 3 College of Experts assessors Breakdown across panels👇

Super exciting to have this finally out! It was great to have different fields coming together for this collaboration

Pretty proud to have this one out! rdcu.be/eaLMm

Hello frogington #bne

Now the #chillies have properly started :). #habenaro #ghost #scorpion #redhill #bne #18sqmgarden

OK #chemsky do your thing. I have an immediate PhD vacancy working on a MOF / crystallography / electron diffraction project with Syngenta. Home fees and stipend are covered. Spread the word!

Here is another great example of how broken the ARC system is. Our DP was ranked: detailed 1: ⅓. Detailed 2: 1/5. General 1: 3/51 General 2 (carriage) 34/48!

End of an era as we say goodbye to our #rigakuod #gemini #crystallography
