Charl is currently in China, and gave a talk this morning at the Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University, Beijing (hosted Prof Xi Zhang, head of department).

Here he is trying his best to prepare for a difficult question! Very nice periodic table behind him!

He is spending the rest of the day in discussion with Prof Zhang and Assoc. Prof. Huaping Xu (who visited Bristol recently).

He will be visiting the Chinese Academy’s Institute of Chemistry tomorrow (visiting prof. Wenping Hu), and then off to Xiamen for the RSC conference “Challenges in Nanoscience, ISACS 9”, where he is speaking on Saturday morning.

More to follow soon!
