Students do not appreciate irony when related to grades.... first complaint of the year. 💣

We have established a neurodivergent community on Discourse, autistic-academics.discourse.group, and we're still looking for people interesting in helping moderating/administration AS well as being members of the community. Please spread! #chemsky

Me and @stecanossa.bsky.social is trying to setup a community for autistics and NDs? Anyoneome wanna join? Discord or similar.

Mid-term evaluation week is coming up!

Is there any autisttic/ND community established on e.g. Discord? If not, interest in? #chemsky

I put up the code on github.com/sfmlab/mole2d for anyone wanting to test it. It's full f bugs, but works if you just need to draw a molecule here and there. :) And I'm working on making it much better (and part of a bigger suite)

Is anyone using GitHub/CoPilot to develop chem-based apps? I'm not decidedly pro or anti AI, but we lost license to ChemDraw and it took me less than a day using Github with GPT model to create a ChemDraw clone that serves 99% of my purpose. It writes, tests, and corrects the code autonomously....

Love this instruction on how to make soup from your smoothie. 1. Open bottle. 2. Pour in bowl.

Just wrote an email basically asking to be depromoted. Fighting all my life to get where I am. Not sure how to feel.

New UV/Vis from Ocean Optics arrived today. It really lives up to the compact product name. Oo Will ultimately be setup for in-line flow measurements for adsorption and continous flow synthesis. 💣

I think we should normalize a 10-year productivity drop after becoming a parent. I barely keep my head above water and it's all thanks to my fantastic partner who does most of the heavy lifting.

Whya are IDEX fittings etc so expensive? I know it's PEEK but still. Buying regular stuff, some connectors, a check valve and then BOOM 10K EUR.... :,(

I got a new office. Quite big. What should I get? Bean bag? Large banana plant? Pinball machine? Something else? And how do I justify it on my uni. card?

I have not been active on Bluesky for quite some time, but I think it's time to come back. Hopefully the #chemsky community still is alive and kicking. :)

This summer, the 46th ICCC will take place in Denmark. As part of the conf., @carolhua.bsky.social and I are org. a symposium on chemical sensing using inorg. and hybrid materials (inc. MOFs). We would be happy to see contrib. from researchers at all stages of their careers. Please share! #chemsky

ICCC is coming to Denmark. The lineup looks great already. And I've heard rumours there will be a symposia on chemical sensing using hybrid materials, anyone who comes (to the symposia) will get a free tour at the sausage museum at Den Smagløse! #iccc2026

My tutorial review on single crystal diffraction analysis is now online @crystengcomm.rsc.org! Students, supervisors, and reviewers: Please consider this thought-provoking read to discover many facets of the crystallographic practice that are often overlooked or misunderstood 💎 #crystallography

PD Alert! 📢 We're hiring a 2-yr fully funded postdoc in automated MOF synthesis at DTU in Copenhagen! 🇩🇰 You'll help build our new lab and join a fun, collaborative team of chemists, engineers & physicists. #chemsky Apply here 👉https://shorturl.at/qqCKt

Dear #MOF #COF community, please consider interacting with the posters you see under the hashtag #MOFSchool2025 🙏🏻 These scholars are looking forward to connecting and discussing with you and you can make an important difference for their experience as remote attendees! #PorMatSky

Due to some unforeseen consequences, we have an immediate opening for a 2-year PD position on the automation of MOF thin-film synthesis at Technical University of Denmark. There will be an official opening soon, but anyone who is interested an reach out to me directly already now. #chemsky

Sadly, Journal accounts have flooded #chemsky, likely causing the noticeable drop in human posts. Please try consciously to keep this place alive by muting all the paper bots and re-engage with the scientist's posts here. It would be a pity if chemsky was lost.

Our group currently collaborates over Teams, which is ok but not great. Are there any, prefferably open source, alternatives? We need chat, files sharing (>200 gb), notes (OneNote similar). Possibility to co-write/collaborate on docs would be great (which Teams suck for when someone is on Linux...)

Large-scale synthesis of explosive compounds? Reactions in acetone at 60 °C higher than the boiling temperature of acetone? Reflux at temperatures lower than the boiling point of the solvent? This paper has it all! Check out the new preprint by @arbitraryeffect.bsky.social and myself! #ChemSky

common knowledge among chemists: compressed gas cylinders basically last forever. some date back to WW2. those used in Nazi Germany (Linde) were marked with swastikas. after the war, the swastikas were defaced into "windowpanes" ⊞ — you can still find such cylinders in the wild today. #chemsky ⚗️🧪

We're looking for a mechanical engineer or similar to work on a project on MOF - device integration for chemical sensing. So, if you are or know someone with hardware knowledge and fascination of porous materials, please share or reach out. :) See: efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

My dream of going to MOF2026 in New Orleans is slowly shattering....

Completely condemn the highly disappointing decision by @acs.org to take down and then amend their pages on Diversity, equity, and inclusion - www.acs.org/about/divers... - this is not what #RealTimeChem stands for.

Anyone who ever had a student do something with AI knows that we are lightyears from being replaced.

What's the logic between login on to Outlook mobile requiring using Outlook mobile to generate a single use code which has to be verified by Outlook to approve the login. I think there is a fallacy somewhere hidden in there.

The past days we watched 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' on TV (great show, highly recommend). And my wife looked up the soundtrack afterwards to ID the Slim Dusty song played throughout. I want to believe this is the year that she will embrace country music after more than 10 years of firm opposition.

It's just a temporary space. But in six months or so it will be remodelled and our first reactions will be cooking. 😎 #chemsky

Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X https://go.nature.com/42tH8Ai

I really hope all scientists and people living in a fact-based reality who still voted Trump realize what they have done.

Stefania Grecea at Uni. Of Amsterdam is looking for a PhD in MOFs for H2 purification. Really nice PI and great scientist. More info at werkenbij.uva.nl/en/vacancies... #chemsky

Yep. We have been out of contract with Elsevier at MIT for 4.5 years now, at substantial savings to the Institute. Happy to share our experience with any library interested in following suit.

Sad to hear about Lynch. When it comes to visual enretainment, him and Haneke has had the biggest impact on me. Twin Peaks, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway. Every rewatch brings something new. 😥

Emotional day as Jaskaran, our groups first PhD, is defending today. It's been a great trip and we would not be where we are today without his contribution. Big thanks to Klaus Koren (Aarhus Uni.), Stefania Grecea (Uni. Amsterdam) & Ali Efthekari (DTU) for serving on the committee. #chemsky

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...

Mileage may wary, but in my experience, writing a 300 word summary of your new publication is probably the least time-intensive part of doing research. 💀

Good talking to @cenmag.bsky.social and @kvasquez.bsky.social about neurodivergence in STEM. Great article. My callout is to neurotypical folks to learn more so they can provide supports to students. #ActuallyAutistic cen.acs.org/careers/dive...

Our group has gone through a lot of changes this year, which has been both challenging and rewarding. Last week we got a 6.2 MDKK grant from EUDP to support our work on MOF sensors. Today Bruker delivered an early Xmas gift. Very thankful to all the PhDs, PDs and students who made all this possible.
