Dr Richard Ansell

I've been collecting water for my MChem students to analyse: a nice change from the office!

Honoured and astonished to receive the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences Partnership Award for Contribution to the Student Experience. Thanks to those who nominated me and congratulations to all the other winners and nominees!

A pleasure to meet military historians @almurray.bsky.social and James Holland at the @waterstones.bsky.social Leeds book signing for their new collaboration. Looking forward to reading Victory 45!

Fairly sure that Swinsty reservoir in April should have more water in it than this....

Many thanks #RNLI #Falmouth for showing our two girls and their cousins around their lifeboats!

Really enjoying this meeting (and the excellent hospitality of the Royal Society of Chemistry!)

Thanks @leedsteaching.bsky.social for an enjoyable and stimulating two days of HE pedagogy at the Student EducationConference, sorry I could only attend remotely! #sec2025 #leedssec2025

I'm grateful to my managers & colleagues in the School of Chemistry for giving me some thinking time since stepping down as Director of Student Education in August. I've also taken the opportunity to have surgery on my ankle. As of Thursday I'm free of this massive boot and ready for new challenges!
