"When I draw a molecule in China or in Argentina, it is the same molecule. People understand immediately without knowing Spanish or Chinese. That is beautiful. Our common goal is not about power or borders of the country, it is about bringing forward human knowledge."

Our Nika Melnyk presented her PhD journey at the Dublin Chemistry 3rd Year Talks 2025 and absolutely nailed it! 💥

“Catalysis of Organic Reactions Through XB-Based Organocatalysis.”

Super proud of her!

Make your own force field with the Orca Compound Module (First steps)
YouTube video by Prof Nicolas Make your own force field with the Orca Compound Module (First steps)

New video! How to use the orca compound script to calculate force field parameters for a simple molecule! These are the first steps of what I hope will become a series! #orca #compchem #academicsky #academicchatter #chemsky #science

How Deep Is The Ocean?
YouTube video by Chet Baker - Topic How Deep Is The Ocean?

El 13 de Mayo de 1988, a sus 58 años, Chesney Henry Baker, Jr., aka Chet Baker, cayó por la ventana de su hotel y murió. Uno de los grandes y uno de mis preferidos. Para recordarlo, dejo aquí una pieza que siempre me gustó especialmente.

A graphic explaining the chemistry of agents that form food gels. The graphic lists four common gelling agents–agar, pectin, gelatin, and sodium alginate–and describes their uses and chemistry.

A graphic explaining the chemistry of agents that form food gels. The graphic lists four common gelling agents–agar, pectin, gelatin, and sodium alginate–and describes their uses and chemistry.

How do gelling agents work? Jellies, some candies, and some desserts need a gelling agent to give them their structure. Learn about the science behind these molecules: cen.acs.org/food/Periodi...
