Registration for the 11th ECA crystallography school is now open!

It will be held in Stockholm on the 28th of June to the 4th of July and will give practical experience of solving and refining data from both powder, single crystal and electron diffraction.

With more single crystals synthesized, I plan to resolve the remaining structures together. I am hopeful this final set will yield significant findings to cap off a productive year.🧪 #chemsky #MOFs #Single-Crystals #CoordinationChemistry

I've been proposing my solution for a decade now: if you publish one paper as corresponding or first author, you bring cake. I'll leave you predictions on what would happen, but certainly the number of publications would drop like a step function. #ChemSky #AcademicSky
Yesterday, I thought I'd single-handedly solved most of the problems in academic publishing, using a simple idea. I posted it on LinkedIn, but it's since gained a disappointingly small amount of traction.

Among the many new territories I will explore in 2026, an exciting one is joining IUPAC and contribute to global science and education in this capacity as well 😌

I look forward to engaging with the community on my Division's subject: Chemical Nomenclature and Structure Representation! 🫸 #ChemSky

The GingerBread Instruments is back after last year hiatus (blame on flamingos).

#chemchat, can you determine the wallpaper group?

Back in office to find a lovely gift from the OlexSys team... their iconic photographic calendar! 🫶 Very relatable image to kickstart January 2026: "Ants on a mission" - Irrelevant to the naive eye, resolved, and slowly but surely building much bigger things than themselves. 🐜

More interesting stats by anisota.net/harvest

Cryptic combinations emerge, probably a message from a greater consciousness from a parallel (reciprocal?) dimension:

"Lattice scientists"
"Hope symmetry"
"Paper crystals"
"Disordered community"
and most importantly... "Soon Science" 😌

📢!! After nearly a decade looking for my place in academia, I am incredulous to announce that in 2026 I'll start as research Professor at Ewha University in Seoul, and visiting PI at ShanghaiTech! I'm so thrilled to get closer to my Asian friends 🍻 and finally realize my scientific vision! 🎆 #MOFs
