Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow.

Damn, T S Eliot had the grant writing/submission/review process all worked out.

If you're attending the Materials and Molecular Modelling Hub #MMMHub conference this week, go listen to Jordan Dorrell: "Sensible Asymmetric Units for Crystal Exploration". These are new methods in crystal structure prediction aimed at better efficiency for complex structures. #compchemSky #ChemSky

Coming home in the rain, under a grey sky, to sit beside a comforting fire, to moan about weather, work, the government, the youth of today, picking up the paper to moan about that too, while knowing that I wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else. That’s what makes me feel English. Not waving a flag

Great thesis and presentation! Well done Johannes

Bit under the weather today, so stayed at home to write a paper…..instead I’ve made an image of a Lego bacterial outer membrane.
