Lived in Singapore for most of my life but it feels great to give my first (two) talks at NTU Singapore 🇸🇬 last week. Celebrating 🎉 #ACS150 @acs.org with the ACS Singapore Youth Challenge. So happy to see young chemists presenting their research 🔬 @mbsullivan.bsky.social @chemscrapes.bsky.social

I have not been active on Bluesky for quite some time, but I think it's time to come back. Hopefully the #chemsky community still is alive and kicking. :)

Its the molecule Horsfiline done up to look like a horse

恭喜發財! 馬年快樂! Happy Lunar New Year! May the year of the Horse bring good health and happiness to all!

The molecule below is Horsfiline. #chemsky #chemchat

A bridle oxide handing and Allene a box of chocolates. It is saying “roses are red. Violets are blue. We should get together. In a 4n+2

Two panels. The cycloadduct resulting from the 4n+2 is sitting in bed having a cigarette. The two halves are now chopped as an oxazoline. First panel One half of the Cycladduct is saying “that was great”, the other replies “I’ll say”. Second panel the first half says “what are we going to tell your wife”. The second half of the cycloadduct is still smiling saying “no idea”

Valentine’s Day with a twist of ChemScrapes

Happy Valentine’s Day!

#chemsky #chemchat

Not dirty enough 😇

Two puppeteers. One is shocked and looks distraught. The other one is smiling happily. It has been reshaped into a heart and is saying “happy valentine’s day baby”. There is a blue flames Bunsen burner in the background

Happy Valentines Day

About 10 years ago, I closed my website/blog, and I have always wanted to "reopen" it.
Today I can tick it down from my 2020 New Year's resolutions.
I think it's also nice to restart the blog with my first blog post of 2013

Here we go:

Seriously, if you’re on #ChemChat or #ChemSky and not following @inprep.bsky.social I don’t know what to say

Best chem satire this side of @chemscrapes.bsky.social

I’ll have egg on my face if the proposal gets trashed though. At least I’ll get cartoon material 🙃

this may seem trivial/obvious to some, but I guess we all have our own journey.

Connecting dots is more impactful when you can see more dots and understand their value. Taking steps outside your field of expertise seems easier when you know how to speak to other disciplines. At least that has been my experience coming back to science.

Tell you one thing #chemchat. I have been looking at writing research proposals after a loooong break. I thought was my chemistry had been eroded by time. Rather, it’s been sharpened by experience. I think that thinking outside requires stepping outside the box. 1/2

I effing love chemistry

Coolness! #chemchat

It’ll she is still screwing up her face at the mistake. She won’t try 🙃

A mug with a little bit of wine/coffee

In a moment of tiredness I just poured some Barossa Shiraz into my coffee while pouring my wife a glass of wine. I don’t drink so didn’t taste but it smelt GREAT!

Someone please do a taste test and let the community know as a service. Roughly 2:1 coffee to wine ratio. #chemchat #chemsky

The Indiana Jones Oxidation. #chemsky #chemchat

In lyric and legend

Bandaged middle finger. Ouch

Knives are still sharp. This has been a community service announcement.

I imagine this molecule is aspiring to be a pharmaceutical...as opposed to tar. Dream it! Do it!

to be clear, the stock image at the top is a real thing. so i just wondered what molecular stock images might look like

Gotta love stock images #chemsky #chemchat

Bondo loves to go for a drive.

a chromosome that is wearing leather s&m gear carrying a cat'o'nine tails. massive heels. Clearly it is a wildtype.

Ah yes - the old sketchbook days.

Wiltype chromosomes
