Please record your review experiences with journals at SciRev. In today's mindless garbage-in garbage-out approach to scientific publication, this is important. I just posted about idiotic recent experiences, one with an Editor who possesses a BSc degree. scirev.org

Chickpea chundal or sundal (per cup 14.5 g protein, 12.5 g fiber, and manganese, selenium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, folate, phosphorus, thiamine, vit B6).

And voila…makhani dal was conjured up.

Ran into a famous chemist at a coffee shop, who said they not ready to retire yet, they are doing a lot of great things!

Congratulations 🇮🇳 women on winning the ICC ODI World Cup.

Dinner last night (dal rice + onion raita + carrots with black salt, lime juice, cilantro). Dinner tonight big bowl of salad, sperlonga, and cambazola cheese. Tomorrow dal makhani!

Saffron pancakes with blueberries and peaches.

A monarch and a mantis. Autumn olives and bayberries.

Time for a triple B alliteration. Big bowl of bhel.

A treat…

Gnocchi al sugo di pomodoro e melanzane.

Tomatoes, avocado, and absolutely perfect mozzarella bufa.

Ever wonder what would happen if a substrate has two reactive moieties that can undergo reaction with the same reactant under similar conditions? Here is an example of catalyst controlled selectivity.

Bread upuma anyone? #ChemistWhoCook

Thank you, @NSF CHE, for the continued support of our research. #NSF nsf.gov/awardsearch/...

@drsanjaygupta.bsky.social A small clarification, "phthalates" is not a single compound but a family of compounds, based on phthalic acid, with different alcohols to prepare the various phthalates (actually esters).

Bhindi do pyaza and dal!😋

Interested in learning about catalyst control for C–N versus Heck-like C–C reactivity? chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Water in the Chesapeake Bay shimmering in the fading light.

Someone was resting on the road and was gently goaded back into the marsh.

A single catalytic combination results in N-arylation of 8-vinyl adenine nucleosides. Change of ligand, metal source, or even base, results in arylation at the vinyl carbon atom. Sequential C-, N-diarylation, other conversions, fluorescence & computations. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Instead of the macabre waltz between authors and editors, why don’t journals: a) prescreen abstracts first (2-pages, double spaced in 12 pt font) OR b) evaluate an Rxiv submission where the author simply submits a doi. If the journal is interested then ask for full submission!

Time for multi-vegetable upuma (cream of wheat) with a side of fiery mango pickle!😋

Two pleading emails in short succession? The desperation is showing.

Careful folks, you may get such creepy fraudulent texts.

I fully support funding as much good science as possible and significantly increasing the low funding rates. But here some interesting reads. 1st link: 29% of college presidents believe that some game the overhead system, and 2nd and 3rd links on administrative bloat. www.yahoo.com/news/college...

NIH has capped overhead rates at 15%. www.science.org/content/arti... grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Likewise…I too found one!

Does anyone know if NSF panels are convening now?

I wonder what cattle practice...soccer, cricket, rugby?

Felix Mendelssohn is known as a great composer. Whether from the sparkling Italian Symphony, or the On the Wings of Song, or the violin concerto in e-minor, and many more. But did you know he was a painter? I stumbled upon some at a concert. Here is a link to some. www.wfmt.com/2013/07/25/a...
