Starting the year with #ccp4sw is now a long tradition for me, although participating online these last few years. Great to hear about the latest developments and exciting new solutions for #protein #crystallography

Today's petty rebellion to bloated bureaucracy.

Finally got around to filling in the expense claim for travel to/from the #CCP4SW, paid on the corporate credit card.
This needs a reason for not using the corporate travel provider for the tickets. For the train, it was "too short notice", given the rail strikes. For the tram from/to the station in Nottingham, it was "It's a tram"! There is no category for 'local' rail transport, but there is for bus/coach/taxi etc.

@xtaldave Yep, trains on time and got back fine although activated the backup plan of changing at Kettering onto a slightly slower, but much quieter service.
A shame I had to miss the last #CCP4SW session (plus bonus delayed talk).

Utterly beautiful #glycotime on the cover of this years’s #CCP4SW programme 😍

Train back from #CCP4SW much busier than on Wednesday going the other way.
Lots of fun from the seat behind me with someone getting chinged for travelling on their mate's railcard! πŸ™€

#CCP4SW number of ants in the world shocker, nice demonstration of how big numbers are

2 x 10^16 BTW

How many ants are on Earth? 20 quadrillion, study says

There are at least 20 quadrillion ants on Earth, according to a new study that says even that staggering figure likely underestimates the total population of the insects, which are an essential part of ecosystems around the world.

Excellent music at the #CCP4SW dinner. So many 80s classics! 🀩

#ccp4sw WG1 remote participation was an unexpected opportunity to chat to colleagues across the country except those in Nottingham! ;)

Very cool to hear about the first structure from #Diamond_MX #VMXm, work from a collaboration by my PhD supervisor Jon Grimes and my 1st PhD student Adam Crawshaw! Congrats! #ccp4sw

Watching the #DiamondLightSource session of #ccp4sw and feeling nostalgic and sorry I can't be there in person this time. Hi everyone, enjoy and please say hello on Slack! ;)
