Over the past century, quantum mechanics has served as the foundation for modern physics theories, including quantum field theory. The theoretical groundwork is now being transformed into new disciplines. Learn more in a new special issue of Science: https://scim.ag/4oz1y2a

Samples of Bennu, a primitive asteroid orbiting near Earth, contain some surprising ingredients: natural sugars, gummy polymers, and specks of stardust that are even older than our solar system. There's a lot of complex chemistry brewing in space! 🧪🔭 www.nasa.gov/missions/osi...

After the Royal Society meeting on the future of quantum computing at the start of the year, I took a deep dive for @physicsworld.bsky.social into the state of the industry. The piece sat for a long time in the pipeline, but here now is the first part. physicsworld.com/a/quantum-co...

Here's the link to the RS meeting (video now online). It was nominally about quantum information generally, but the focus was very much on quantum computing. royalsociety.org/science-even...

In this piece for Aeon, I argue that, while nanotechnology is now a very real and mature field, a popular early vision of it was an example of what I am calling an "oneiric technology": a fantasy of the sort that Silicon Valley loves. aeon.co/essays/no-su...

New preprint + thread 🧵 #Psychedelics induce the formation of new synapses, but where do they connect? Our rabies tracing study reveals that #psilocybin shifts connectivity across specific cortical networks. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/12

🔥Hot of the press: Chiral induction and chiral memory via host-guest binding now published in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social! One of my favourite projects and a super rewarding collaboration with @sidlereric.bsky.social, Yohan and @feringalab.bsky.social! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

This week in Science, researchers report an artificial molecular motor that can twist a molecular thread to form a mechanically interlocked molecule. The approach creates opportunities to fabricate mechanically interlocked molecules with precise structural control. Learn more: scim.ag/40FboGP

Very grateful I had the opportunity to attend the first #GRCPsychedelics and connect with others in the field!

Had several great discussions at my poster #GRCPsychedelics Looking forward to building future collaborations :)

Excited to attend Neurobiology of Psychedelics GRC this week! Looking forward to deep dives into the mechanism of action of psychedelics and how they modulate neuroplasticity, cognitive flexibility, and adaptive decision-making—across behavior and neural dynamics. 🧠🍄 #GRCPsychedelics

So happy the first #GRCPsychedelics was such a success. It was great to see everyone and share all the amazing science and community. Thank you to all the speakers and congratulations to the travel awardees!!

Had a blast at the first ever #GRCPsychedelics - thanks so much to Chairs @alexkwan.bsky.social @vyazovskiy.bsky.social & Vice Chairs @melissaherman.bsky.social @viditavaidya.bsky.social for bringing our community together 🫶 Per usual, I took no pics - but luckily Missy had it covered for me 😂

EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT #PSYCHEDELICS AND THINGS YOU NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT! www.cell.com/neuron/abstr...

Attending the first psychedelic GRC organized by @alexkwan.bsky.social & @vyazovskiy.bsky.social was surreal. The internationally representative panels ensure we are collectively/efficiently advancing our understanding of psychedelics. Special thanks to @mayoonthebrain.bsky.social for bringing me ❤️

So happy I got to attend the first #GRCPsychedelics conference. Such an amazing opportunity to connect with other researchers & learn about the newest findings in the field.

The inaugural #GRCPsychedelics was a success! I am honored to have been one of a few chosen to receive a travel award and be able to share the stage with the leaders in the field. 🙏 to the organizers! @alexkwan.bsky.social @vyazovskiy.bsky.social @melissaherman.bsky.social @viditavaidya.bsky.social

Somehow we got almost all the students and postdocs in one photo!! Until next time #GRCPsychedelics 🫡

#GRCPsychedelics is squad goals !! I learned so much, laughed even more, and slept even less Grateful for the new connections, strengthening of old ones and for the opportunity to view my favorite topics from a different lens.

A Spectra-cular Milestone: More than 1,000 exoplanet spectra in the #NASAExoArchive Atmospheric Spectroscopy table, including transmission, eclipse, and direct imaging spectra. 75% were observed from space (mostly HST/JWST), and 25% from the ground! exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/atmo...

in the spirit of the recent #psychedelic GRC which is heretofore known as the 'WOODSTOCK OF PSYCHEDELIC SCIENCE' I propose a new definition in which every psychedelic is 'classical'!! open.substack.com/pub/zendudes...

Delighted to be part of the first Gordon Conference devoted to psychedelics #GRCPsychedlics. My message this morning: science is in this dark place now partly because we spend all of our time and effort in the lab. Get out and talk about your science with the public! Your science will benefit too!

Science together climb together - sneaked out with fellow #GRCPsychedelics attendees for a quick session 💪

I had a great time at #GCRpsychedelics, discussing our data on the non-hallucinogenic derivative of LSD, alongside a stellar panel of researchers! Very grateful to @alexkwan.bsky.social and @vladvysotsky.bsky.social for inviting me and putting together a very exciting program!

New product idea: Bars of soap with dendritic spine designs. Would be a hit at #grcpsychedelics. @cllantz.bsky.social you in? 🧼

Poll of #GRCPsychedelics attendees….. not good.

Thank you #NIMH #NIDA and #BrainInitiative for an informal panel at the #GRCPsychedelics to answer questions regarding grant funding. 🙏

#GRCPsychedelics 🔥🔥🔥🔥poster session and our first ever Honorary Best PI poster award to @zenbrainest.bsky.social 🤣🤣🤣

Having the best time at #GRCPsychedelics so far catching up with friends, seeing cool new science, presenting my poster, and even going to the beach today during the break!

Greetings from the GRC on Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors! It’s exciting to see how the field has grown and is moving toward everyday applications—think photoswitchable tattoos!

It will be a difficult task with all the nice people there :-) i will try to use the right hashtags :-) hope to see you next time!

Try not to have too much fun without me :) Do you mind using #photopharma and #molswitch hashtags so people in the switch/machine starter pack follow happenings?

On my way to the Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors Gordon Research Conference, looking forward to catch up with new and old friends and to present our latest works in #energystorage, #automation and #photopharmacology. @alexlippert.bsky.social @gracegdhan.bsky.social

Almost there! :D

@rebecca-salthouse.bsky.social l @lorettefernandez.bsky.social l @pmendoncaferreira.bsky.social @arri-priimagi.bsky.social @screspi.bsky.social see you soon!

Our manuscript on cationic double-stranded diborahelicates and borahelicenes is now published in JACS @jacs.acspublications.org (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...)! Heechan reports borahelices with multicolor emission and high absorption dissymmetry factors! @gilliardgroup.bsky.social #maingroup

"We are speaking on behalf of hundreds of NIH staff who are standing up together to say: WE DISSENT. I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up." Thank you to Dr. Jenna Norton and NIH scientists for your courage!
