Adventures of Dr. Ram and Mister Li
Episode 1
Join Dr. Ram and Mister Li on their adventure uncovering the mysteries of strong metal support interaction and methane dry reforming!
Based on one of our papers, Verena (@raija.p.art) drew this comic about the temple of Jueitshwe, where the tablet of metal support interaction was uncovered.

Perovscats
Verena (@raija.p.art) imagined this version of perovskites, where cats play the role of atoms and the crystal lattice is replaced by a large cat tree.
You can clearly see what happens when you introduce a „dopant“/black cat into the system: It steals the fish of the cat below it — making it very unhappy — and causes the cat above it to leave alltogether.
