I remember a LONG discussion thread back on #ChemTwitter about the proper way to draw/represent the S-O bond in DMSO
Lots of strong opinions from the populace

#chemchat check out the post that this is a response to for full appreciation of the joke

Classic Reviewer Tale

Racemic bus floor #chemsky #chemchat

I accidentally made a Halloween decoration - a TA asked to print a cyclodextrin with a guest molecule for school activities. But the pumpkin style was accidental, I picked colours randomly.

Today, Scandium the Spider wanted to join in on some crystallography! Who can spot them first?

The spider was safely removed from the radiation enclosure to minimize exposure. Safety first!

amazing story - a must read #chemchat #chemsky

That. Is. Awesome. (Annoying for the team trying to figure it out, but really cool) #chemchat

Robert Millikan, 115 years ago this month, showed that electricity was quantized into electrons (and gave a value for Avogadro's number) with his famous oil-drop experiment in Phys Rev 32 (1911), 349-97. #ChemSky #Chemchat 🧪 Read the long paper here: www.columbia.edu/~mm21/exp_fi...

Some starting materials = 100% in the particular case.

I an experienced synchrotron user in the past, so obviously I took more sample that we would be able to measure, because "just in case". But at the end we were able to measure all* samples with 100% success rate**

#chemchat #CursedGlycine

Back to greedy food supplement chemists - who can afford them? Maybe be a corporation like Nestle, for example?

Well, seems yes, but only part-time, for some products - let me show.

The product #1 from Pure Encapsulations is Magnesium Bisglycinate.

What I learned in lab this week:

I work with a bunch of badass chemists and we did some amazing stuff that you can read about at some point in the future

That and the 5+ year old bottle of white solids that says KOtBu is probably not anymore

Today in Lab Chat:

Is water an alcohol?

Ouch... This is a brand from Nestle, btw.
