I went to a pop-up city on an island off the coast of Honduras, which bills itself as a hub for fast-tracking longevity drugs. I wrote about what I found there for @newrepublic.com: newrepublic.com/article/2011...

The first of my PhD work has been published in @daltontrans.rsc.org, work done in the Barnard group at @limsltu.bsky.social @latrobeuni.bsky.social on using boronic acids as receptors for sugars (i.e. glucose) while using iridium(III) as a signalling unit. #chemsky #organometallic

The biggest column I've ever done (column volume of ~1L) to separate three, very close spots. Took half a day but was fully clean! #chemsky #purification #chromatography

My StoryGraph tells me I am devouring these books, one per week. The Sun Eater series by Christopher Ruocchio reminds me a lot of Dune and The Expanse #booksky #scifi

I just finished the Children of Time trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky (@aptshadow.bsky.social) and was absolutely engrossed. The writing was very easy to follow, the ideas were stunning in scope and the characters very fun. Definitely going to try some of his other books #booksky #scifi

Cat sitting 7 Persian cats this weekend 😼 #catsky

Managed 16,000 steps today walking across the chemistry department 5 times to get ice for this 5 gram Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction #chemsky #chemistry #organicchemistry

Finally finished the main Dune series by Frank Herbert. What a rollercoaster ride of a series. Looking forward to what the next screen adaption will achieve #booksky #Dune
