They say that constraint can breed creativity.

Here’s how Kara MacGillivray, a research administrator at UNB, found an opportunity to innovate in federal financial reporting – and to help her colleagues across the country in the process:

Eek!

Maybe not in 1 week but the math does say one should review 3 papers for every submitted one…

This is the right kind of news. More of this please.

Acid/Base‐Responsive Circularly Polarized Luminescence Emitters with Configurationally Stable Nitrogen Stereogenic Centers Circularly Polarized Luminescence (CPL) emitters based on Tröger's base analogues bearing two peripheral fluorophores (anthracene, pyrene or 9,9-dimethylfluorene) are prepared following a straightfor...

Now in an issue. Tröger's base derivatives are suitable chiral scaffolds to make CPL emitters by their functionalization with simple achiral fluorophores. Acid/base-driven CPL switching was also achieved.

TOC means you hit. Well done. It’s like the last couple reps of a work out or a savage bike climb. You’ll be happy when it’s finished. Power through!

Great message!

Now you need a boulder club!

First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that.

This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.

UCL – University College London UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

I've got a postdoc position open @ucl.ac.uk - using phosphoestamers to block oncogenic protein-protein interactions. Large collaboration, translational outlook, cool chemistry underneath! www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

The. Best.

New @chemrxiv.bsky.social preprint!

RoboChem-Flex is a powerful, low-cost (<5k EUR), modular self-driving lab for chemical synthesis

We showcase 6 studies (photochemistry, biocatalysis, cross coupling, ee ...), all optimized with different configurations & ML

Would you pay $150 per article to post your preprint on @bioRxiv @aRxiv @medRxiv @chemRxiv etc.? Currently it’s free but a small cost could help offset running costs and also work as a barrier against paper mills and AIs just posting all the time and filling these sites up.

yes I would.

micro dose? hehe

That’s amazing Ross. Congratulations, mate!

🤣 10 m of endless fun. Love that. Aaaand no space btw the numeral and the unit. Love that less. Just sayin’.

🌭 in the summer are my vice.

what? no QC??

my brother just cycled Landsend to JohnO'Groats in 30 days...wild. safe travels!

Omg. Lol.
