A fantastic start to the inaugural Telluride meeting on Structure and Reactivity in the Ordered Solid State! The blend of talks and inspiring discussions on structure, reactivity, and dynamics was remarkable. This gathering serves as a long-awaited forum for leaders in the solid-state chemistry community, fostering collaboration, inspiring innovative ideas, and reinforcing the strength and progress of our research community.

Our comprehensive review of melanin's interactions w radiation from x-rays to NIR, led by @WanjieX, is now out. If you are into uv/γ protection, color, thermoregulation, or other functions of melanin in nature/synthetic materials, check it out!

The BBC has spent the last couple of weeks looking foolish over its inconsistent approach to terror groups by refusing to describe Hamas as terrorists; now it looks slapdash in its approach to news reporting. To lap up Hamas’s lies without basic due diligence is letting the licence payer down. There must be a thorough and frank inquiry into this massive failure

Last night, too many jumped to conclusions around the tragic loss of life at Al Ahli hospital.
Getting this wrong would put even more lives at risk.
Wait for the facts, report them clearly and accurately.
Cool heads must prevail.

Israel are trying to get civilians out of danger.
Hamas are trying to put civilians into danger.

Hamas has declared today to be a global ‘Day of Action’. In response to their October 7th massacre, please consider indeed taking action by posting this image as a message of your support. We are strong in fighting terrorism when taking a stand together; silence only helps Hamas.

Thank you @Keir_Starmer for your important words!
Israel has the right and the obligation to defend its citizens and to take all necessary measures to protect its population.
🇮🇱and🇬🇧 stand together!
“I think that Israel does have that right.”
Sir Keir Starmer tells @NickFerrariLBC that it is acceptable for Israel to withhold power and water from citizens in Gaza.

If you watch just one video, please watch this (to the sound of Biden's speech - turn up the volume).

Whatever your historically based political sympathies, if you have even a shred of human decency you surely cannot morally justify Saturday's barbaric attacks on innocent civilians. “A plague o’ both your houses” is, for once, inappropriate.

My cousin, Nachman Dekel, has likely been held captive in Gaza since Oct 7. We can't expect much from groups like Hamas, but I urge everyone to advocate for the rights of all captives. Praying for their safe return. 🙏 - Barak Akabayov. Please share. #FreeNachman #PrayForReturn

Scallops produce sophisticated guanine crystal mirrors along the inside of their shells. In the Chemistry Community, Avital Wagner and @BenpalmerLab explain how this multilayer reflector is created and why scallops could help optical device development. go.nature.com/40tdVSh

In this recent work @ScienceMagazine📢, we revisit the mechanisms of #Morphogenesis in #biomineralization. It's cool to see that no crazy tricks are needed, cellular confinement can suffice in making amazing structures!😲 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
