Fixing science: a new approach for trust?
“How can I find out what the good papers in a field are”, asked a student at my last Dark Side of Science talk. That […]
The final step: SPEC no more
You might remember us starting this “instrument control software migration” project a while back, where we were slowly experimenting with moving bits and bobs into […]
WIP: A user interface for McSAS3
A few years back, I refactored the McSAS analysis software to enable multicore processing and re-histogramming, amongst other improvements. As McSAS3 was command-line only (so […]
WIP: Exploring analytical scattering models interactively with the SasModels Explorer
[Update: I had apparently been updating my own git repo for this project, rather than the BAMResearch one… that has now been fixed and you […]
WIP: Refactored LiveFT educational tool
So the travel and time around the SAS2024 conference allowed me finally to work on some software that was in dire need of attention. One […]
Let’s meet at SAS2024?
Hey all, The SAS2024 conference will be upon us in a few weeks. It’ll be an excellent opportunity to meet many of you again. Please […]
Your input needed: calling all grazing incidence scatterers…
Hello everyone. My colleague Anja is working on an attempt to get a standard operating procedure in place for grazing incidence scattering experiments. This will […]
Capacity restrictions resulting in MOUSE operation limitations – what will we still accept?
Despite the high degree of workflow automation, a high-throughput lab like the MOUSE lab would always require at least two full-time permanent researchers. Two (or […]
The first five MOF synthesis libraries are online
Our RoWaN automated synthesis platform has been used to perform over 1200 ZIF-8 syntheses, each with slight variations in the experimental procedure. We went to […]
Should we even be subtracting interacting solvents? Part 1: the considerations
[A note because I cannot stand being imprecise in terminology: what is commonly called “Solvent” in scattering, is better expressed as: the dispersant medium, i.e. […]
