After two further exciting days enjoying fantastic weather in Beijing, the beautiful Tsinghua campus and the exceptional hospitality of Prof Xi Zhang, Prof Huaping Xu and many students, it is time to head back. It was a real privilige to meet the team from the RSC journal “Polymer Chemistry” at Tsinghua at their first International Symposium, as well as many German colleagues at a symposium at the National Centre for Nanoscience and Technology close by.

The next visitors from Bristol to Tsinghua will be Feli and Alex in October.
