The week is complete - post group meeting debrief downtown. And welcome to 3rd year project students, Ann and Cat!

We went for a night out tonight to celebrate Ben & Vito's paper (doi.org/10.1002/cssc.2…), bid farewell to our visiting student Kiki (from HKBU Science), and welcome our new MSc student Catur and 3rd year research students George and Jasmine. A strong team of young scientists 💪

That’s a wrap for 25th International Mass Spectrometry Conference What a great week of mass spec science, networking and friendship. Thank you so much to everyone who was involved, especially the local organising committee who have all been absolutely phenomenal to work with over the past four years. #IMSC2024

And thus ends my first year of being an AE for PCCP . I must say it's been a lot of fun, I met great colleagues on the editorial board and an amazing publishing editor team over at Royal Society of Chemistry, and I learned a lot.

Next up for the CX stream at the Australasian Crystallography School is Carol Hua on Software and Workflow. She may speak softly, but she carries a big stick! SCANZ #crystallography #ozchem

*** Inorganic Chemistry Seminar *** Dr Leila Hill University of Sydney Sydney Chemistry “Shining light (and other radiation) on lanthanides” Tuesday 10th September | 12-1 PM | Cuming Theatre ALL WELCOME!

The boxes have arrived from Bruker hopefully someone can come from Germany soon to put it together. Very exciting!

It was my privilege to represent School of Chemistry | University of Melbourne and Leung Research Group at the University of Melbourne 3MT grand finals. It was amazing to see the variety of research at University of Melbourne, and I am grateful for the support of colleagues, family, and friends for helping me get this far.
