Had a great visit recently to my alma mater, Wangaratta High School, to talk about #MOFs, #Nobels, and assorted study and career tips. Always a privilege to talk to kids about the joys of chemistry, particularly country kids who have few scientific role models. #outreach #ozchem

And this is why my flight to #MOF2026 went via Tahiti. Not shown is the hour of him screaming abuse while being sat on by passengers until we landed.
Some people shouldn't drink on planes, or mix the booze with some other things? Video by @MikeGStein of the guy who is likely thinking about his life choices in a cell in Tahiti wondering how he's gonna get back home!

That was us! Fun times…
LIVE: Qantas #QF21 Melbourne to Dallas (Boeing 787-9 VH-ZNB) is continuing from Tahiti after diverting due to a disruptive passenger who bit a crew member (info from ACARS via tbg.airframes.io ). Track: flightradar24.com/QFA21/3fb4… DFW webcam: airportwebcams.net/dallas-fo… #avgeek

Great day yesterday talking to the kids of the LabRats Science Club (labratclub.com/) about all things MOFs and Nobels. These weekend science clubs are so rare and wonderful - true diamonds in the rough. Still not convinced about the cardboard cutouts though... #OzChem
