A brilliant character played by a brilliant actor. Gone way too soon.

Great to be back at the M2i conference again this year! This time in Arnhem. Looking forward to hosting the poster pitch event later today! And catching up with materials science friends during the day! ⚡️

Submitted my first scientific paper in two years a few days ago. As I'm not chasing grants, citations, a h-index, or other divisive academic metrics, it was just plain fun to write. And the topic is definitely fun too :). Hope to share soon. #AcademicChatter
