I don’t want to take the money away from you. It’s just a much steeper admin/processing fee than most organisations and it feels like they are ripping you off.

I just donated - but I am concerned about the 20% add on, seems a bit high for admin costs. Maybe find a more competitive platform?

McKenzie Scott, Melinda French Gates, and Laurene Powell Jobs are all far better humans than their one-time husbands were. All putting their money to work in constructive ways that their husbands never did.

Asst. Prof. Yuzhong Liu studies how glycosylated molecules shape immune responses and drug behavior. Her lab produces QS-21, an FDA-approved vaccine adjuvant, and other complex natural products in baker’s yeast—reducing reliance on a decades-long, tree-based process.

A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Decoding the Nested, Multicycle Mechanism of Ni-Catalyzed Redox-Neutral Cross-Coupling through Temperature Scanning Reaction Calorimetry Catalytic reactions involving multiple cycles are common in many key organic transformations. We report a detailed mechanistic analysis of one such network of “nested” cycles, the Ni-catalyzed cross-c...

Out today on JACS ASAP - Baran/Blackmond collaboration demonstrating the power of temperature scanning reactions in mechanistic studies of multicycle catalytic systems. Fantastic work by @dacagan.bsky.social and Aron Peter and Phil who is still over on the other place.
