This is why education and investment in higher tech industries is so urgently necessary for Thailand. But the government need to provide universities with the resources to update the learning facilities so we can provide better training.
Thailand is staring at a crisis caused by the rising number of factory closures in recent years, partly attributed to an influx of cheaper Chinese products. This trend is expected to continue this year, raising fears of an irreversible decline in local manufacturing and its…
We had a great #3DED/#MicroED session at the Asia Pacific Microscopy Congress today. I’m very glad to be a part of this vibrant community.
We have successfully concluded our MicroED/3DED workshop at APMC13 yesterday! A huge thank you to @XUEY85 , @weixi_gu , all the participants and the APMC13 conference organisers for their support and efforts. @CMMUQ1

We start the MicroED/3DED two day Workshop at #APMC13 in Brisbane! Many Thanks @XUEY85 . we’ll discuss from theory , sample prep to practical session, data collection on Glacious and processing data #MicroED #3DED @CMMUQ1

Thank you #crystals35 @Crystal_SCANZ organisers for inviting me to present our @CMMUQ1 work on high-throughput small molecule & protein crystallisation, crystal imaging with Rock Imagers #MicroED Pipeline using Glacious @XUEY85 @JackKClegg @weixi_gu @Kobe_Lab_ @movingwhat @


The deadline for applications has been extended by one week to July 30th. #ozchem #crystallography #xray @Crystal_SCANZ #SAXS uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/uqcareers/job/…

We @CMMUQ1 @movingwat with a great research team @XUEY85 @Kobe_Lab_ @brettcollins100 @ThomasVe7 @Dr_Ellisdon @renaemryan1 are thrilled 😊 to announce that we got the #MicroED #3DED #LIEF #LE23 grant, $1.129M. we will establish an Australia-first dedicated #MicroED facility @UQ
We @CMMUQ1 are getting better and better every day with #MicroED #3DED . Another protein crystal from @Kobe_Lab_ @weixi_gu . Great team @movingwhat effort from us. Thanks @XUEY85 .
We @CMMUQ1 @movingwhat successfully collected our first #MicroED #3DED data of protein crystals (TIR domain)grow in @Kobe_Lab_ by @weixi_gu using old TECNAI F30 G2 TEM. Thanks to @XUEY85 for advice/suggestions. More work to do but this is a great result 😊.

😊
Happy to share the next installment from @Rashid_G_S PhD work. Super work from @KasunAthu and @HydarAAlfayaad: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
I would like to share our recent article @NatureProtocols that introduces step-by-step the entire workflow for structural analysis of MOFs by #3DED. This will be useful for studying #MOF, #COF, and any other polycrystalline compounds. disq.us/t/49h0lud
Congratulations @GinaQuach on your well-deserved success👍
Very honoured to receive the 2022 Don Stranks award! Great way to finish an amazing week of chemistry #RACI2022 #ozchem
Having a great time at #RACI2022 talking to researchers how we @CMMUQ1 can help their crystallisation and crystallography projects, including new addition of #MicroED #3DED, @movingwhat , @XUEY85 , @JackKClegg


Doing #MicroED of my organic crystals @CMMUQ1 with our cryoTEM expert @movingwhat . Many thanks to @XUEY85 for the help.
