1/3 In March last year, I was fortunate to start a Postdoc in x-ray characterisation 🔦of organic semiconductors 💡. I’ve since completed ~10 beamtimes - I’ve been learning a lot!

2/3 Chris, Xu and I recently completed spectroscopy at the Aus Synchrotron MEX2 beamline (@ANSTO @ausynchrotron )!
We are deeply thankful to the synchrotron staff (esp. Bruce) who make our research possible.

3/3 It’s been awesome to see this “Bright” beamline steadily improve and produce significant optical data - we got some good results so stay tuned. Our group has many related projects in the works that I hope to share soon! ☺️

Excellent graphics and data for understanding Australia's energy market, as well as understanding if nuclear has a role. abc.net.au/news/2025-04-26/r… #auspol

(1/5) This morning the “coalition” announced it would go further than “labour” in removing 40K additional international student enrolments. Both parties will hurt AU taxation & our 4th biggest industries. I’m appalled at the unfounded rhetoric victimising international students.

ANNOUNCED: We will cap international student numbers and reduce permanent migration by 25 percent - freeing up nearly 40,000 homes in the first year.

(4/5) The impact of student housing on regular housing is unclear in the context that student accommodation is localised geographically to University proximity. I do agree there are substantial numbers that come from University enrolment (tho 4% of the rental market), but…

(5/5) That doesn’t imply the localised accomodation impacts general city rental demand and locality to jobs. Here’s an article that has a go a debunking this relationship with financial data. link.springer.com/article/10…

Wishing a very happy #NewYear2025 from Bhattacharyya group. We are still looking for a #Postdoc to join our vibrant team to work in the area of #transport in #vdw heterostructures.

Excellent confirmation seminar by @McNeillResearch member Geoffrey (Qizhe) Tang this arvo! Cool to see the advantage electrochemical doping can add to soft matter. Lots of results an excellent intro to investigating OECT through transport and x-ray scattering techniques!

Fun with flags
27 Jun 2024
Why are so many flags red, white, and blue?
It all started 452 years ago in the Netherlands...

Honestly - a few of the replies to this little tribute to engineering excellence exhibit a level of stupidity that suggests to me that it won’t be long before our spacecraft are the only thing that remains of our increasingly dim-witted civilisation. Until recently my guess has been that the answer to the Fermi Paradox might be found in biology - complex biological systems are rare. I’m increasingly of the view that the reason for The Great Silence is that civilisations are inevitably crushed by the weight of nobheads shortly after inventing the internet.

It never ceases to amaze me that a spacecraft launched in 1977 can be fixed remotely from Earth.

Managed well, nuclear power can help a lot. We export uranium, and many other countries use it as a clean energy. We already manage a nuclear reactor (yes, AUS has one 4 medicine and research) very close to Sydney @ANSTO. This is achievable. #auspoł #NucFantasy #NuclearPowerAU

as i was saying from the get go - it was a wrong decision by @AlboMP @AustralianLabor to put Billions into a single company without a product. #quantum afr.com/technology/ex-csiro-…

Wow, that's a *lot* of government investment in one #quantum company! H/T @igordownunder The per capita equivalent in NZ would be a ~NZ$200m investment - more than double what is about to expire in the #nzscience system, spread over ALL our National Science Challenges.
