It does look quite suitably sandwiched to me
A sandwich of posts detailing the argument on chemsky and chemtwitter that any object can be defined as a sandwich. In this case, there are two posts from one account sandwiching a post from another.

Keyword: "Chemistry (as done by a robot from Blake's 7)"

Looking over our selection choices, we definitely have some things that need moved around so will put together a request to our technology team.

Separately, it was fantastic how well the talk from the winner of the 2025 Lectureship was integrated into our Chemical Science Symposium. Can you spot the winner (Professor Chris Chang) in the symposium photo?

Apparently it is spotify wrapped time. I don't use Spotify - I do not like their focus on podcasts or where the money goes. I use Tidal. It is okay.

So in lieu of a wrapped thing, here are some Last.fm stats for the past year:
A screenshot of top artists over the past year from a last.fm page. The top artists are Deafheaven (6045 plays), thenian (1861 plays), Rolo Tomassi (1845 plays), Wounds of Recollection (1384 plays) and This Will Destroy You (1238 plays).

The albums are Lonely People with Power, Where Myth Becomes Memory, I Found the Love That I Was Looking For, Charcoal, And the Glass Handed Kites, Sunbather, New Bermuda and Time Will Die and Love Will Bury It.

Back to the one album on repeat listening habits
A screenshot of the "Top Tracks" list from a music streaming service showing the user's most played songs over the last 7 days. All seven tracks are by the artist Wounds of Recollection, ranked by number of scrobbles. The top track is "Sleep With the Lights On" (83 scrobbles), followed by "Everyone I Love Will Someday Die" and "Places From a Movie Scene" (both with 80), "Last Moments on Earth" (77), "Blue Bird on the Tarmac" (74), "Your Last Christmas" (70), and "I Found the Love That I Was Looking For" (68). Each entry includes a small album cover showing a landscape at dusk or dawn and a heart icon indicating the track is liked.
