When at a Faraday Discussion at the @rsc.org venue, Burlington House, London, it's always good to meet up with the main man Faraday himself, albeit in statue form. Thanks to @faradaydiscussions.rsc.org Editor Michael Rowan for posing with me at #FD_Lignin last week.

This is Manchis. She's the dog of Alberto Mesías Zárate, a journalist in Peru. When her human was targeted this week by criminals who threw an explosive device at their home, she barked at the perpetrators and successfully extinguished the dynamite before it detonated. 14/10 good girl, Manchis
