Infographic showing how spice compounds like eugenol (cloves), sotolon (fenugreek), glycyrrhizin (licorice), and myristicin (nutmeg) affect the body—causing effects like numbing, maple-syrup-scented sweat, high blood pressure, and hallucinations.

Maple-syrup-scented urine? Hallucinations? To mark US #NationalChemistryWeek's "Hidden Life of Spices" theme, the latest edition of Periodic Graphics in @cenmag.bsky.social looks at some of the effects spices can have beyond flavouring our food: cen.acs.org/biological-c...

As of 1911, Saturn had 10 identified moons. Now there are over 274. Did Tylenol cause a moon epidemic on Saturn?

Or are we just better at diagnosing small variations in cosmic (& human) behavior?

Autism was first described in 1911 & researched since the 1920s.

Tylenol was first sold in 1955.

Tylenol does not cause autism.

Happy #pride month! We believe that chemistry is for everyone. In the face of opposition that threatens the progress we've made, it's never been more important for us to promote equality of opportunities and make chemistry as open, inclusive and diverse as it should be: buff.ly/1dShs0l #ChemSky

Yes, this is EXACTLY how it works
