Is this the balk of the chemistry world?

Thats kind of disheartening.

Playing an audio book out loud with no headphones in the airport terminal is incredible behavior

114 people laid off from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory The cuts affected staffers in both the research and operations sides of the lab.

Not unexpected, but also not a good time for NREL. We can only hope a few senators/reps break party lines during the next budget and advocate for continuing US science. www.cpr.org/2025/05/05/n...

Huh, learned that Cell press (Joule, Matter etc.) is owned by Elsevier. Not apparent from the websites at all.

Happy earth day. As good a time as any for chemists to think about how they’re making the world a better place with their research, and that developing environmental solutions might be the best way to do that.

Hell yeah. Tatted up tardigrades

2. Thursday 4/10 445 pm room 430 Chiral Halide Perovskites for Optoelectronic Applications - Discussing ongoing work on chiral halide perovskites for manipulating charge, spin, and light.

Please come say hi!👋 I'll be at Seattle MRS giving two talks:

1. Wednesday 4/9 415 pm room 427 Exploring Zintl-Phase Quantum Dots for Optoelectronic - Discussing new work on quantum dot synthesis. V exciting stuff

“…akin to the magic-state-teleportation circut.” Come on guys, this cant be the name of a real thing

Im something of an investing guru. Bought 1 bulb of garlic, turned it into 9! Cant get these kind of returns on wall street

I have published my first corresponding author research paper & that is really exciting.

Annual reviews we wrote on chirality induced spin selectivity in halide perovskites. Lots of exciting experiments discussed, plenty of room to explore in the field. And beautiful figures to use in background slides!

Remember that AI lab paper claiming like 50 new AI discovered oxides. Then ppl were like no what are you talking about? those arent new, nor are they what the robot says. And the author was like, lol “theyre new to my AI” And then the paper never got retracted.

getting paper proofs is very exciting to see it all formatted, but then you realize you have to read it for the 10000th time

I have a sub for it! It's nice. I would like a few more routes/trip planners that backpacker used to feature, but the writing/pictures are great. AND the gorgeous pit toilets

all the overlander truck propaganda in the rag was too much for me. Sad, because backpacker magazine was a good publication i grew up with (bought by outside)

China is crushing it in solar installations. Sad that the U.S. can't be the leader in high tech energy production.

Good insight. I’m betting the under on the Nats. Baseball is a game of inches, not liters.

@redbull.com y/n do u like x-treme science?

Maybe red bull can sponsor me. We can make a cute little vid of me in a lab coat and gen chem goggles shot-gunning a can, spraying everywhere. Then i go shake a L sep funnel with dyed red ether in it and spray it all over a fume hood . X-treme

I still cant get a real prep on how to make Cs2. Best i got was vaporize Cs, shine 6 850 nm lasers to cool it down, doppler cool it further, shine another laser (unspecified nm) to get Cs2, shine more lasers (no nm) to put it in ground st. Its a lot better than when it used to give me a CS2 prep 🤣

Steal from cycling and shout ‘allez!’

I feel like the quote is about late stage scientists punching down via peer review, pushback against new ideas, resulting in having to wait for them to leave the field. Its really hard to bring a new concept against incumbents, especially when incumbents control most things

21st is the century of bio, with all the major advances in biochem., genetics etc. The majority of these discoveries by American institutions. It feels like if this was the 20th century physics, we're cutting research off at Millikan/Schrod. etc & not getting to the "useful" stuff like transistors

The year is 2034. You're trying to zoom in on panel q of figure 62 in this ai chemical review about MOF O2 uptake wearables for infants with blue baby syndrome. Your desk Al chaperone demands you make eye contact for a Sigma-BSNF-drich ad promoting the latest polyfluorinated metal-plastic composite antimicrobial materials for human protection from natural waters. After the ad, you get to look outside, really wishing to study green cloud phenomena , but the DJTJr-USA-grant.gov/official/auto-intelligence-entrepreneur-program brought to you by AmazonRealCloud™ has determined all weather related study is a known phenomenon with no economic incentives to studying.

The lack of focus on DOE (not by Derek) is fairly alarming and confusing.

green glowing crystals

Have not had time to play in a lab for quite a while, but it is what it is. Here's an old photo of glowing little crystallites #chemsky #fluorescentfriday

Meetings in DC getting canceled. so. much. whiplash.
