This year’s National Chemistry Week theme, “Chemistry Under Construction,” gives us an opportunity to explore the chemistry behind the materials that build our world—from concrete and steel to bricks and polymers. But the theme also offers another way to think about what chemists do.

The FDA on Monday issued a request for information for designing clinical trials for ibogaine, a psychoactive drug that proponents say holds promise for treating conditions like opioid addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Nonliving films that grow toward light. Inorganic deposits under weak, unstructured light grew toward it head-on or at a substantial tilt, but away at shallow angles, a flip mainly from optical scattering between neighbours. Their shapes even scale like trees and forests.

Proteomics technology is at an inflection point; researchers can detect many more molecules faster than ever before. Researchers are capitalizing on AI to enable multiomics, spatial and massive population studies, and some very large research initiatives are finding their feet.

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

And for all the long time #chemtwitter / #chemsky friends—i interviewed @sararah.bsky.social for the NMR chapter in her magnet lab in Ames, Iowa!

I’m so grateful for the generosity of experts like Sarah who took the time to talk to me and also give feedback on the book!
