This one might even interest #ChemSky 🙂
@cenmag.bsky.socialKarl Deisseroth, one of the 2026 medicine laureates, pioneered the field of optogenetics, which has enabled scientists to use light to manipulate the activity of nerve cells in the brains of lab animals and understand how that stimulation affects the animals’ behavior.
@leah.myatproto.socialYou cannot learn a language by using a calculator. Whether that is learning how to code software, the language of chemical compounds, or ANY skill. The human brain can only learn by DOING. And failing. And DOING. Until you die. That's it. That process should never be stopped. #ScienceSky #ChemSky 🧪
@waynestatechem.bsky.socialPlease join us in congratulating Peyton, recipient of an Excellence in Teaching Services award at #wsuchemistry. Congratulations! #chemsky
@cenmag.bsky.socialPolicymakers and educators are grappling with how to best incorporate artificial intelligence tools into classrooms. Anecdotal evidence and early research suggest that college students are already being negatively affected by their use of this technology: cen.acs.org/education/un...

@geoffhutchison.netDear #chemsky - I remember lots of chat about digital accessibility of course materials.
I don't remember conclusions about chemical structures / reaction schemes.
Are there good "best practices" guides out there for the chemistry aspects?
@cenmag.bsky.socialKarl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel have won the 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.” Read more: cen.acs.org/people/nobel...

@cenmag.bsky.socialOptogenetics has ignited a revolution in neuroscience. Although this decree may sound like hype, researchers in the field disagree, saying the technique is allowing them to understand brain function and disorder with unprecedented precision.
@chemistryworld.comThe Campaign for Science and Engineering (CaSE) produced four recommendations setting out a vision of what the R&D system should look like in 2045.
