@chemistryworld.comSteve Fletcher, who leads a research initiative to tackle plastic pollution at the University of Portsmouth, says ‘the results are surprising at first, but then when you look at what’s included and what’s not included, they’re not surprising at all’.
@simonhiggins60.bsky.socialFrom Berichte, 1889, on attempts to isolate thioacetone: '...our attempts in this direction failed due to the fact that the substance possesses a dreadful odour, which spreads in an astonishingly short time and fouls entire districts of the city.' City was Freiburg. #chemsky

@drolijones.bsky.socialNew article in CHOICE Australia this week examining the evidence behind calims of #PFAS free pans and cookware.
I spoke with Kim Gilmour about how we test for PFAS, what the evidence is and what PFAS free even means.

@tenuretracker.bsky.socialInstitut National de Recherche pour l'Agriculture, l'Alimentation et l'Environnement is hiring:
12-month Postdoctoral Contract: Monitoring of Trace Metal Elements Carried by Microplastics in a Complex Matrix
@cenmag.bsky.socialScientists have developed a fragment-based method for discovering molecular glues. They say this workflow is a less expensive and more accessible way to find the sticky small molecules that bring two proteins together.

@qmagnetics.bsky.socialSame functional groups, different positions, different splitting! The QM-125 shows how substitution shapes ¹H NMR: para gives two doublets, meta shows four non-equivalent protons, and ortho creates complex overlapping multiplets from ortho and meta couplings. 🧪
@waynestatechem.bsky.socialSAVE THE DATE! The annual Chemistry Graduate Research Symposium (CGRS) is Friday, October 16th, 9 am - 6 pm. Jeremy Kodanko and Dr. Yilin Liu will be the keynote speakers. #wsuchemistry #chemsky
There is still time to submit an abstract - waynestate.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
@chemistryworld.comIn 1972, a chemistry professor named of Frank Sherwood Rowland dared to ask a vital question: what happens to chlorofluorocarbons released into the air?
In this week's episode of The Chemical Breakdown, host Mariana Kneppers puts it all in context.
@merschrod.bsky.socialAt a workshop on decolonization and right off the bat counted 6 chemists in attendance! #chemsky @chemjobber.bsky.social
@chemistryworld.comThe team identified an enzymatic process in lipid droplets near mitochondria that converts small polysulfides into longer sulfur chains through a series of reactions, before ultimately producing S8.
