If you do research in atmospheric chemistry, I hope you consider joining us for Pacifichem in Hawaii! We are looking forward to a great set of sessions. The due date for abstracts is April 2, but there is some flexibility. Let me know if you are interested!

Until Feb. 17: International Elk-Kootenai/y Watershed Study Board inviting public comment on draft Plan of Study to explore impacts of water pollution in the Kootenai/y watershed 📣 Add your voice! https://ijc.org/en/ekwsb/public-consultation-draft-plan-study

The magnitude of the current size of the #Arctic sea ice extent anomaly is unheard of in the satellite-era record for the deep winter season months. Data from nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

110% behind this idea!!

Can Overleaf have emoji options in the replies please?

Several colleagues at CU Boulder and I worked on these recommendations after the Marshall Fire. Thanks to @cwiedinm.bsky.social for updating them over the past few days. cires.colorado.edu/news/how-mit...

The Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii has recorded the biggest annual jump in atmospheric CO2 levels since measurements started there in 1958. www.newscientist.com/article/2464...

It was great chatting with you @zoeschlanger.bsky.social about fire smoke chemical composition!

I have to say that I’m thoroughly enjoying the timing of #AMS2025, right after a lovely vacation. Rather than coming back to work with a ton of admin, I come back to work learning a ton from smart people and brainstorming new ideas! So I should always take a vacation before conferences?

The #NBDGroup is at #AMS2025 this week at the Atmospheric Ice Processes session. Looking forward to an ice-solutely great session and it’ll be really ice to see you there! (Snow joke in serious!)

Hind was such an energetic researcher and leader, it's hard to imagine she is gone. This is a nice summary of some of her contributions to EDI, in her own words pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

My group has noticed that our paper acceptance emails tend to come through when the lead student author is on vacation. So the obvious conclusion is to take more vacation right? 😄

Hey #chemsky. Getting into the Christmas spirit and both ChemScrapes e-books will be free in your local kindle store from 00:00 (PST) on 22 December - 23:59 (PST) 26 Dec 2024. I just found some typos, but it's OK - it wouldn't be ChemScrapes if it were perfect :). Please help spread the word.

If you would like to join us at BU, we have an ongoing search for multiple faculty members in environmental health. Please apply and help make a difference within a community of fantastic and fun people! #AcademicSky #PublicHealth #EnvironmentalHealth academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/29115

There are about 27,000 scientists at #AGU24, and about half of them work on climate one way or another. Whenever I walk into a room like this, I always take a moment to take it all in—all these people dedicated their lives to working on some of our toughest problems. That gives me strength.

So many #AGU highlights this week. The conference was better than I had expected and feeling excited about the research our community is advancing. 🤩

The #NBDGroup is at #AGU this week. Keighan will be presenting a poster on our singlet oxygen work from BBOA and I’ll be presenting a talk on human emissions and on chemical synthetic efforts towards the fate of organo selenium compounds! Looking forward!

The #NBDGroup is hiring a postdoctoral fellow! Join the Smart Textile Innovation and Knowledge (STINK) Team in beautiful British Columbia. 🏔️🚵⛷️⛵️ Work with our Vocus mass specs on human sweat emissions with Lululemon as our industry partner. #chemjobs ubc.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/ubcfac...

Group meeting is by far my favourite time of the week! Love the brainstorming and the questions. Coming together to ask WHY. Just love it.

Looks like @eurogeosciences.bsky.social journals are getting an APC revamp. www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/about/articl...

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Federal environmental lab chemist: Is the cup Class A glassware? Has it been properly calibrated and certified? For that matter, have the contents of the cup been properly recorded and tracked?

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. Medicinal Chemist: The cup is half full +/- 50% Process chemist: Screen the cup until it is 98.8% full

We had the fabulous @teachforaliving.bsky.social at UBC this week for our Lectures in Modern Chemistry seminar. It was a HUGE pleasure to finally meet Maria in person! Impactful work in chemical education. Role model. 🫶

Here's the atmospheric chemistry starter pack! Let me know if you'd like to join! Looking forward to hearing about everyone's fun science on bluesky! go.bsky.app/GgmWgSo

A periodic table puzzle!! 😍 The box says “relax and learn” 😁 #chemsky

There are already some brilliant chemistry and #scicomm starter packs out there (which I’ll link below) but I haven’t seen one for chemistry content creators, authors and communicators yet, so I’ve made a start on one: go.bsky.app/4Fcuzus Happy for suggestions of other accounts to add! #ChemSky
