For any youngsters who don’t know this. A classic. His memory and enunciation are amazing. 🧪 #chemsky #chemchat

I don't have stats on this, but I feel like I'm finally starting to see more #UKchemjobs in the pharma/CxO sphere pop up in the past few weeks/months. Anyone agree? I can't tell for real because my bubble will be very statistically noisy #chemjobs #chemchat

I’ve been ruminating about my post-academic (?!?academic intermission?!?) work of late.

One of the things I’m honestly most disappointed by is that my sustainability-oriented work involves *really* basic chemistry that doesn’t rise to a level of notice my fellow chemists would recognize. #chemchat

Does anyone know more detail on this exposure? E.g., how it happened, how much was splashed onto the student? #chemsky #chemchat 🧪

Today in lab #ChemChat:

To my hoodmate after a long, rough but moderately productive day …

“We’re supposed to be good at this…why do make it look so hard”

J.J. Thomson announced the discovery of the electron this month 129 years ago, in "Cathode Rays," Phil. Mag., 44, 293-316 (1897). (G.J. Stoney had already coined the word "electron" in 1891.) #ChemSky #ChemChat 🧪 Read his paper here: web.lemoyne.edu/giunta/thoms...

Thanks @dalmeet.bsky.social for covering TRACES in @cenmag.bsky.social. Short version: we gave 30 AI models 42 truly awful papers, and asked them to extend the work.

How awful? Magnetized water awful. Cold fusion awful.

The LLMs cheerfully helped, more than 93% of the time.

Any #chemchat or #chemsky folk here who work in industry making or using zeolites and would be willing to have a short interview/meeting? Undergrad researchers and I are part of an NSF innovation corp program and are learning about industry needs. Thanks in advance!

#ChemSky #ChemChat anyone have recommendations for an open source or low cost ELN? or just thoughts on ELNs generally? FindMolecule looks frankly terrible

I love chemistry….

Le Bel simultaneously with Van ‘t Hoff had the idea that ”chimie dans l’espace” meant molecules had 3-D shapes. Here is his 1874 paper. #ChemSky #ChemChat 🧪 babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hv...

This year’s Chemis try Nobel Prize is about chirality, so here is the original paper by Van ‘t Hoff from 1874 showing chirality and 3-D atomic position in molecules are related. He and Le Bel worked in the same lab…. #ChemSky #ChemChat 🧪 www.chemteam.info/Chem-History...

Allowing the use of these AI generated images is seriously hurting the credibility. On a quick glance I can spot multiple chemical mistakes in the graphic. #ChemChat

I immediately realized that I already used and cited this paper long time ago. @esvenssongrape.bsky.social, I am quite sure that you saw this article too :)
