Having missed Andrey Kalinichev’s talks this summer at both Goldschmidt and International Clay Conference due to overlap of our parallel sessions, it is great to finally catch up at small but scientifically charged @cecamevents.bsky.social in Vienna @bokuvienna.bsky.social

Talk at @cecamevents.bsky.social at @bokuvienna.bsky.social by recently defended Dr Hannah Pollak on ClayCode - software she developed during her PhD at @edinburghchem.bsky.social

Extra special day in the group @edinburghchem.bsky.social y’day

Congratulations to Dr Audrey Ngambia🎓 for a brilliant PhD defence!

Thank you for joining my group & trusting me as very new PI that we can make these pesky biochar models - we did it thanks to your dedication and hard work🍾

Great end of day one of our workshop - many new connections were made. What a pleasure to bring together scientists in the field of #biochar - experimentalists, engineers and modellers.
