I captured this so it could bother other #science people as much as it bothered me. #chemsky

I know #chemsky was dabbling in the #mincup @mineralcup.bsky.social . Now we have our own bracket. Vote for your favorite chempics!

Personal opinion that I am proud to have managed to get through as the lede of this story: differentiating between diastereomers is better left to chemists than Congress. cen.acs.org/biological-c...

#AI: I literally cannot sarcasm hard enough to keep up. This is a 100% real screenshot from my workday

Green hydrogen: Topsoe cut the ribbon on a major factory making solid oxide electrolysis cells. It's a step up in scale for a tech type that may challenge the dominance of PEM and alkaline H₂ generators. Read more in @cenmag.bsky.social cen.acs.org/business/inv... #hydrogen #H2 #chemsky #news

This stress ball is hilarious as a piece of conference swag, but only if you're read up on #nuclear fuel types.

Shutdown impacts on food aid are hurting people in real time. I spoke with directly affected #science and #engineering students at JHU. Remember, SNAP dollars are currently NOT flowing to those in need, despite progress on a deal in DC. @cenmag.bsky.social #chemsky cen.acs.org/policy/SNAP-...

Go to a Penguins game with a bunch of PPG people and you'll learn some hockey #science trivia. Or, at least, I will. @cenmag.bsky.social #video

Thermite is rad. There's also a start-up called Found Energy that's exploiting the reductive power of elemental aluminum. Been looking for an excuse to mention them cen.acs.org/education/un...

Learned tonight that a #chempics participant who used their publication in @cenmag.bsky.social's photo feature in their skilled visa application got accepted. Humbled and thrilled that this thing we production editors at the magazine made is having such a positive impact in the lives of chemists!

The interesting question now being posed by the US Army is, can the strange and singular economics of the US military push new #nuclear power (and maybe also #DAC and e-fuels) from chemical possibility to economic feasibility? cen.acs.org/energy/nucle...

ChemFORWARD's latest report on safer chemistry in cosmetics and personal care is out and interesting patterns are emerging, like that lipstick is a problem area. read more in C&EN cen.acs.org/business/spe... @cenmag.bsky.social #chemistry #consumerProducts #safety

Stressful day at the office, so I'm treating myself to an oat milk tumeric and black pepper latte made with scientifically enhanced #coffee beans (which i wrote about here: cen.acs.org/business/con...). Because some days I own my #millennial identity #science

#Cleantech firms are reeling from the recent round of funding cancelations at the US Dept of Energy. Sec. Chris Wright says more are coming. read more in C&EN cen.acs.org/business/inv... #energy #chemsky #funding #startups

This is off topic, but it seems like mopping with a single bucket should, at best, flatten the distribution of grime on the floor. What am I missing?

Climate Week NYC was full and energetic; read the highlights of what I saw and learned in C&EN : cen.acs.org/environment/... #ClimateWeekNYC #climateChange #business @cenmag.bsky.social

The photographer at House of Scientista got me on-brand, taking notes for potential coverage in @cenmag.bsky.social during #ClimateWeekNYC

Thanks for a fun week, #NYC!

The menu at the House of Scientista event at #ClimateWeekNYC. I think I'm in the right room here :) @scientistas.bsky.social @cenmag.bsky.social

Quick #chemsky poll: If I say marine fuel "bunkering", do you actually know what that means? And would you want a short explainer? #energy #ClimateWeekNYC #boats #decarbonization

"This levy on luxury avation is not a silver bullet, but it is a bullet,"--Benoit Faraco, French Climate Ambassador, on the climate impact of a proposed multinational tax on private jet flights #ClimateWeekNYC

"80% of the world is still moving incredibly fast on the energy transition,"--Jon Creyts, RMI at #ClimateWeekNYC

"The atmosphere doesn't care how many solar panels we build. it cares how many fossil-fuel burning plants we don't," Tzeporah Berman, Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative at #ClimateWeekNYC

Trouble with 2nd-day news coverage is there are SO MANY threads one could pull on. Here's my tug on the situation with Air Liquide and #Russia. #Ukraine #industrialGas #chemicals #industry #history #war cen.acs.org/business/inv...

I got to see a cool #science thing and now I get to tell you about it*: Not obvious from the article is that I got to HOLD one of Franklin's original prints of the X-ray diffraction pattern of DNA. My job rocks at times. #chemistry @cenmag.bsky.social #chemsky cen.acs.org/biological-c...

I unexpectedly got to see and hold an original X-ray print by Rosalind Franklin today of the chemical structure of DNA. So that was wild. #chemistry #science

Hey, #chemsky people who'll be at #ClimateWeekNYC, wanna meet up for a drink and tell me about what you're working on? web.cvent.com/event/ddd39e...

Northern Lights has begun injecting CO₂ into geological storage off the coast of Norway. So far, cement and waste-to-energy are the customers signed on to reduce their carbon footprint by this route. #CCUS #CO2 Read more in C&EN @cenmag.bsky.social cen.acs.org/environment/...

Was it quietly grinding on your soul that the #MinCup25 bracket was off-center and oh-so-slightly asymmetrical? We fixed it! No changes to the matchups, it’s just a lil bit more polished.

Dang, it happened again. I wrote the word "climate" so many times prepping for NYC Climate Week that it stopped looking like a real word. kli-mah-tay. NYC Clamato Week, idk. Apparently, this is called semantic satiation. #climate #writing

In this episode of C&EN Uncovered, host @craigofwaffles.bsky.social speaks with Chemical & Engineering News business reporter Alex Tullo about the most recent release of C&EN’s Global Top 50, our annual list of the top 50 chemical firms. cen.acs.org/business/Pod... #chemsky 🧪

While reading Alex Tullo's fascinating article in @cenmag.bsky.social about the chem of liquid cooling for #AI and data centers, I got distracted wondering: When Neo wakes up from the Matrix for the first time, is the liquid he burst out of a heat exchange fluid? cen.acs.org/business/Dat...

Some days I feel a lot of impostor syndrome. Other days I explain in a single sentence how apartheid affected the rise of a Fischer–Tropsch synthesis company, a sentence that I'm pretty sure shoots straight, isn't inflammatory, and will stand up to scrutiny by actual informed people #scicomm

Hey ##chemsky, brainstorm with me. I'm doing street interviews at the fall ACS meeting. What are some forearm-length lab things I could clip a microphone onto to be on-brand?

No matter what you think of #CO2 capture and conversion, the question of how best to scale new technologies is an interesting one. #business #chemistry #CCUS.

It's me, hi, I'm the reporter, it's me.

Okay yeah we might be in a heat wave. #melted #JustDoIt #adhesives

I set out to write about CO₂ utilization, the U in #CCUS. It became a story about #cleantech in #China. Check out the article in C&EN to find out why (it's at least three things, that's not a teaser for teasers' sake) cen.acs.org/environment/...

Eurofins has the biggest highlighters I've ever seen. #swag

TIL that the idiom "pans out" is derived from gold panning. Oh and a lot of interesting things about antibiotics drug discovery cen.acs.org/pharmaceutic... @cenmag.bsky.social Look for a C&EN Uncovered episode on this article soon, btw

In this episode of C&EN Uncovered, @craigofwaffles.bsky.social speaks with @fmorningstar.bsky.social about her recent C&EN cover story concerning ocean alkalinity enhancement as a method to combat climate change by increasing ocean alkalinity to absorb more CO₂. cen.acs.org/environment/... #chemsky
