Scientific organizations (or any really): please be aware that if you host international conferences in the US, you will be excluding quite a few people from this point on, for whom the risk is just not worth it.

Dear friends and colleagues outside of Germany, I'd be very happy to work with more of you in the GDCh in the near future. Membership for new international members will be free in 2025 and 2026!

Fantastic news, Josh 🥳 Wishing you a good start in Manchester!

Their English seems not the yellow from the egg to be

I also realized in the past years as an editor that this appears to be a controversial statement in some parts of the chemistry community.

You can add "Molecular orbital theory is a model and oversimplification of multi-electron systems that also has no reality (but, to be fair, it is a damn good model)"
Chemistry is full of constructs with no physical reality that help us understand molecules really well. That‘s what I love about it.

Next week a new English-language book about the history of Hirschfeld‘s institute is coming out, written by @bschillace.brandyschillace.com. I am really looking forward to reading it.

Warum sind Rechtsextreme transfeindlich? Eine neue Broschüre erklärt, wie Transfeindlichkeit in der extremen Rechten funktioniert und wie gefährlich das für uns alle ist.

Rechtsextreme setzen gezielt auf Transfeindlichkeit – zur Mobilisierung, als Brückenideologie & zur Aushöhlung demokratischer Rechte. Unsere neue Broschüre mit dem BVT* zeigt: Transfeindlichkeit ist kein Randphänomen, sondern politische Strategie, die weit über rechtsextreme Kreise hinausreicht.

New issue of @gdch.de Nachrichten aus der Chemie with focus on EDI and mental health challenges. Being in chemistry is more than just *doing* chemistry, so it's very nice to see all of these aspects in the spotlight, particularly these days!

A big shout out to @cwpstr.bsky.social for this great article in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social. Mental health is something we talk way too little about in academia. I especially like how this article addresses the MH of academics themselves, as this is often overlooked. Must read!

This is really important. Do NOT use the AI summaries at the top of google searches. Ignore them. This is especially important if you don't have any prior knowledge about the topic, but also a good general rule.

Search sources, scrutinize them carefully and double-check with other sources.

„Moin“ ab jetzt nur noch mit rheinischem Dehnungs-i („Mohn“) aussprechen

My main concern with ascribing DMS to 'life' is that there are many ways it could be easily made abiotically in plausible exoplanet atmospheric conditions (ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024ApJ....).
However, interrogating the data from the paper, it appears even its basic presence is far from proven.

Thank you, Sonja 😊
