ACS: not able/willing to run a simple search for "retracted" before publishing?
@glowsticks.bsky.social#ChemSky An update on the ACS RSS feeds. It turns out that they have new URL addresses (yayyy! 🙌):

I don't know what happened with the TOC images in the new feeds, though ☹️
@alvascience.bsky.socialMolecular descriptors remain competitive in the Mol-JEPA preprint.
On public competition splits, TabICLv2 + alvaDesc achieved higher MAE and Wilcoxon win rates than Mol-JEPA, while Mol-JEPA led on R².
Congratulations to Rottach and co-authors!
