Christmas Party 2018

In December 2018, Philip hosted the annual Christmas BBQ for his colleagues and students, and their families. It was a festive occasion marking the end of another busy and productive year. Two guests at the party had recently submitted their PhD theses (hurray!), one was heading to Belgium to start a new post-doc position, job offers were in the pipeline, and everyone was looking forward to a holiday. There was lots to discuss and celebrate!

Thanks to everyone who contributed delicious food to the meal, gifts, and great company throughout the year.

Sagamore 2018, Halifax, Canada

Philip travelled to Halifax, Canada, in July this year to participate in Sagamore 2018, the conference of the International Union of Crystallography's Commission of Quantum Crystallography. Philip gave a talk that explored the nexus between quantum and electron crystallography. This year the conference included delegates from 27 different countries and was a fabulous opportunity to share ideas with international colleagues. Many thanks to the organisers for hosting such an enjoyable and interesting conference.
