Engineer pretending to be a Computational Chemist working on how light and stuff interact at University College London - husband of @jelfschem.bsky.social - all views are my own 🇳🇱🇪🇺🇬🇧

After an early flight from London, a quick visit to Pisa, two trains and a taxi up the mountain I made it to the Renewable Energy Solar Fuels GRC in beautiful Tuscany for a week of solar fuels #chemsky

When Chemistry depts are being decimated at Universities across the UK, the govt needs to focus on resilience further up the chain and fix decades of disastrous mismanagement of higher education. No point safeguarding industry jobs if there’s no graduates coming through to fill them.

A reminder of our introductory QM/MM training course on 4th June. If you'd like to attend please register by Thursday 21st May.
