The UK XFEL poject, led by @STFC_Matters, held a Townhall meeting @PlymUni to discuss the benefits that a next generation XFEL could bring to quantum computing, AI applications and fundamental physics. cockcroft.ac.uk/2024/02/02/uk-…
Incredible couple of days! Inspiring talks, vital connections, and brilliant ideas. Thank you @QUBelfast for hosting, and to all of our speakers for making the meeting what it was. #xfel @STFC_Matters
After 2 PostDoc (for a total of 5 years), better to still continue in academia (with maybe no perspectives for a permanent position) or to move in industry? Please RT. #academia #industry #job #postdocvoice @PostdocVoice @AcademicChatter #joblife
🌊TOUR STARTS THIS WEEKEND! 🌊 And not gonna lie, ticket sales are low across the board. I’m fairly sure it’s not because we’re crap, but if you do plan on coming along, buying in advance is a huge help so we avoid cancellations 🤪 beforebreakfast.co.uk/live
Come and join us at our 'Ion Beams at a UK XFEL' Workshop in Manchester on the 18th of May. Find out more at xfel.ac.uk #ionbeams #UKXFEL #XFEL
A big thank you to our friends @psich_en for spending this week talking to us about all things #XFEL and for showing us around their beautiful facility in the Swiss countryside 😍 (Spotted some @STFC_Matters kit in there too!) So, Danke schön from the @UKXFEL team 👍
As we consider options for @UKXFEL, this is a very useful record of our past FEL projects (and happily back to being open access!) @STFC_Matters #UKXFEL royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Excellent summary by @Mike_Banks @PhysicsWorld on the UK community’s drive to harness the power of next generation X-ray sources. There was a palpable energy and positivity that will hopefully underpin a bold move by @STFC_Matters and the UK Govt. It was an honor to be there!

An excellent report on Monday’s #UKXFEL launch
Here is my write-up about Monday's event at the @royalsociety examining plans for a UK-based next-generation X-ray facility #UKXFEL @STFC_Matters @UKRI_News physicsworld.com/a/uk-kicks-off…
Good to see sustainability is being considered for a possible future #ukxfel
