Bayreuth was fantastic! These little Wagner's were everywhere. Had a great time at the 53rd meeting of the German Colloid Society. It was an honour to give the opening plenary talk. All talks and posters were outstanding. Loved every minute.

AI is more like ay, ay, ay when I look at the results from an open book (no computer, paper only) exam on chemical reaction engineering and data analysis. AI is a black hole for the cognitive skills development of our students. Ay, ay, ay, AI. #chemsky ,🍎🧪🥽
