Biologists who focus on human cells can tend to think of bacterial metabolism as a bizarre riot, irrelevant to their own fields. But researchers report that an eight-membered sulfur ring, once thought to be a bacterial curiosity, is produced in mammalian cells too.

A new atom-swapping reaction gives chemists a versatile tool for replacing aromatic carbons with nitrogen in complex molecules. The atomic switcheroo will help drugmakers explore how pharmaceutical leads and natural products respond to tiny structural tweaks known as skeletal editing.

Saw the tile for this movie on Prime and knew immediately that I would read a review like this within a day or 2
It seems it’s as cringy wrong and offensive as the advertisement appears. 🧵 below

Life hack: Have your own back!
How often do you follow through with promises you make to yourself?
Not often? ...start small and build rapport with yourself. Trusting yourself and believing in yourself can lighten the load and guide decisions.

Proud to share that our WSU ACS Graduate Student Organziation (GSO) chapter received an Outstanding ACS Student Communities Award for 2025–2026!

This is a wonderful recognition of their inaugural year and the dedication of this chapter. #wsuchemistry #chemsky

A new understanding of ribosomes and transfer RNAs has unlocked the ability for scientists to create custom genetic codes incorporating noncanonical amino acids.

I think #chemsky has discussed before how NO-ONE should be feeding unpublished or proprietary data into public models. It really feels like that is worth reiterating.
