It’s been great to have six TMCS students in Bristol this week, and look forward to welcoming the next batch of six next week!

A lot happened in the group this week.

First it’s great to welcoming new postdoctoral research fellow Janus Eriksen to the group. Janus is self-funded through Independent Research Fund Denmark, and is joining the group after doing a Humboldt Fellowship with Jürgen Gauss in Mainz. Welcome to Bristol Janus!

Project entos goes from strength to strength, and as an outline and place holder for a fuller description of what we are doing, there is now a brief note on chemRxiv.

And finally, we had a great group hike in the Mendip Hills, south of Bristol. The weather was disturbingly good.

Callum (who organised it) had the honour of first reaching the “summit”. (I say “summit” because the altitude is about 300m or 1000 ft.)

Most of the group (Peter was taking the photo) in some ruin we found.
