Crystals & Chemistry, Minerals & Materials

Anisha’s been hard at work over the last six weeks putting together some fantastic models and hands-on activities that demonstrate some of the inspiration behind our research. And after a couple of trial runs, we’re really excited to be exhibiting them at the Museum of Natural History in Oxford today, 2-4pm!

We’ll be right in the middle of the museum, next to the Iguanadon – you can’t miss us!

Thanks to Oxford University Public Engagement with Research Fund, Cochranes of Oxford for the model parts, and Carly at the Museum for all the support!

Two summer projects available

We’ve secured a grant from Oxford Chemistry’s Public Engagement with Research funds for a paid 6-week* summer project on “Flexible, functional framework materials”. It will involve building interactive models to demonstrate how the crystal structures of materials influence their properties and producing information cards and a short online video about them. Suitable candidates should be undergraduate students with an interest in materials, crystallography and of course public engagement!

In other news, our other summer project, on metal-organic framework formation, is still available! If you’re an undergraduate student interested in functional materials, crystallisation and chemical kinetics this could be for you!

For both the projects above, please send a CV and short statement of interest to Hamish by Sun 22 April. Informal interviews will be held at the beginning of Trinity Term.

*Amended from original version: duration will be 6 weeks.
