A MOMENT IN BLUE JAYS HISTORY.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the first Blue Jays player ever to hit a postseason grand slam! 🔥

Loving this game #CanadasTeam #BlueJays, and just now Springer with a dinger to make it 12-0. I think Old Man Steve would have enjoyed this 🍻⚾️🏟️🇨🇦

I would love this. In conversations I’ve had - it does seem to be getting consideration (and this is the first year that I’ve been aware of this). Part of the reason was the Stockholm Symposium earlier in the year that led to the Stockholm Declaration. If not this year, maybe next year 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Enhanced CO2/Epoxide Cycloaddition Catalyzed by Pyridine-Substituted Triazole-Quaternary Ammonium Bromide A series of ionic quaternary ammonium bromides featuring triazole moieties, QAS-trzBn4, QAS-trzPic4, and QAS-trzBn2Pic2, were synthesized via Cu-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) between pr...

Really pleased to see this work published. We helped out with the crystallography which helped to better understand how these cations function. #ChemSky

Do you know how Goede you have to be to miss half the year through injury, lose the Rugby World Cup Final, and STILL be named Women's Player of the Year?!?

Amazing, fully deserved achievement for Sophie de GOATe!

🇨🇦🐐

#RugbyCA | #OneSquad | #RWC2025

Yay! 😁

And another silver lining. Simply the best! Kicks, scores tries, defends and more

Wasn’t to be. ❤️❤️❤️ to the Canadian women, you have been amazing throughout the tournament, congrats to the red roses! 🌹 🏉 wonderful tournament and great to see the support for women’s sports growing. Let’s go Canada! 🥈🥈🥈🇨🇦

Having a lunch time break from the NMR conference, MOOT36, hosted by Celine and Lindsay at Memorial U. Chem Dept. #chemsky to watch the Rugby #RWC2025 in my office. Allez Canada, Let’s go Canada! 🇨🇦

Thanks!

Great webinar on carbon nanomaterials & use in producing clean water via solar heating. Thank you to everyone involved in organizing. A recording will become available at a later date on the @beyondbenign.bsky.social and @iupac.org event pages/websites iupac.org/event/afford... 💚💚 #chemsky

Promotional banner for a Chemistry World webinar titled 'Exploring the frontiers of the periodic table: bismuth catalysis and its applications.' Scheduled for 16 October 2025, from 16:00 to 17:00 BST. Features an abstract image of bismuth crystals.

In our latest Chemistry World webinar, we’ll talk to Dr Josep Cornellà as he explains how his world-leading catalysis research group are using Bismuth to develop state of the art synthetic methods for organic chemistry.

Even though it seems a long way out…. we are very excited that @aspuru.bsky.social will be a Plenary Speaker @iupac.org #IUPAC2027 World Chemistry Congress. Great change to see an inspiring speaker talking about their team’s amazing research. #SaveTheDate #Chemsky www.cheminst.ca/conference/i...

Wow!!! 🤩 Amazing line-up for #GCSDay this year, celebrating and recognising the role chemistry can play in achieving sustainability. There are 3 sessions taking place virtually in different time zones around the world....attend 1, 2 or 3 of them :). Links etc can be found in the IYCN announcement ⬇️

There's still time to register for our IUPAC CHEMRAWN x Beyond Webinar on Wednesday Sept 24th....1.5 days to go!! 💚💚💚🧪🧪🧪🌍🌎🌏 #chemsky, and learn how chemistry is important in affordable and equitable access to clean water 🚰

Manganese edges into the realm of noble-metal photochemistry Pairing manganese with an off-the-shelf ligand yields a low-cost complex that mimics precious-metal photocatalysts

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz report a manganese complex that stays energized for 190 ns after absorbing light—a record for low-cost abundant metals. cen.acs.org/materials/in... #chemsky 🧪

And in a beautiful location, especially in the morning sun! Thank you to the organizing committee and everyone involved #FD_Polym #chemsky

Day 2 of #FD_Polym starting soon. Amazing to be part of a tradition of discussion meetings since 1907. Wonderful to catch up with ‘old’ friends yesterday and make some new ones. Hoping for not too much of a grilling later this afternoon 😬💚

After a break over the summer (or winter….depending on your location), the next Beyond Benign X CHEMRAWN webinar is scheduled for later this month. Don’t forget to register 💚

Thanks for sharing this! 💚
