The Story of Samuel L Jackson In 2016 I was watching an episode of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. One of the guests on the show was Samuel L. Jackson, and as he made his entrance he struck a pose where he made a letter "L" with one of his hands before bringing it up to his chin. I thought "Well I guess his enantiomer would have to make a "D" with his hands.".

The story behind the most recognisable ChemScrapes meme. #chemsky

Carbon capture, at best, will temporary store some emitted carbon. The energy required to store it (ie to prepare all the materials required, and to maintain that over time) outweighs whatever will be stored.
Its like building a shed to store your garbage using more garbage than you want to store

Carbon capture is great for capturing research and other govt funding, but it is a scam

Congrats Steve!

Wildly inappropriate use of a pipette

Take a look at this marvellous image. What is going on in this photo? HigherEd surely has some issues… #ChemSky

Elimination of Dichloromethane from the Introductory Organic Chemistry Teaching Laboratory Recent regulatory action in the United States has made it impractical for many institutions of higher learning to continue the use of dichloromethane in their teaching laboratories. We offer condensed...

Congrats to Stephen Wright & Cathy Welder on their new paper in J Chem Ed showing how we phased out DCM from undergrad orgo labs @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social. Timely work as many grapple with new EPA regs on DCM use

Interesting thread about chemistry IFs #ChemSky

Open to Opportunities & Support for Ongoing Scientific Work
Dear colleagues/friends,
My name is Radoslav Pavlovic, and I’m a scientist specializing in the supramolecular chemistry of biomaterials, with a strong background in magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

So sorry to hear it. Good luck!

Love it! And happy birthday to Marcel too!

Fascinating- thanks for sharing!

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Research Fellow - School of Chemistry - 105878 - Grade 7 To create and contribute to the creation of knowledge by undertaking a specified range of activities within an established research programme and/or specific research project.

We have a 3-year postdoc position available, starting in October, to work on molecular capsules for catalysis. Click on the link below to apply! 👇 Happy to have informal chats about the post - send me an email. Application deadline 6 July. edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid... #chemsky

So, I'm on holiday, so it's the perfect time to post a thread that's been sitting around for a while.

How difficult is it to make your own spheroid production system comparable to the expensive MicroTissue or AggreWell systems?

Easy, actually.

3D printing for the win :)
Super nice project 👇

Yay! Helicates to the rescue!

I have the chance to get a Raman spectrometer for my group since the colleague who was responsible for Raman has left for industry.

Is there a good book or ressource to learn some details (also about TERS), since I only have very limited knowledge in that area so far?

Nice work, congrats Fredrik and team!

Same problems everywhere…

Teachers Are Not OK AI, ChatGPT, and LLMs "have absolutely blown up what I try to accomplish with my teaching."

I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives:

Approving fossil gas projects until 2070 could hardly be described as positive “action” on climate change.
