🎁 It’s Day 24 of ChemSci Advent! Celebrate our 15th anniversary year with us and unwrap “A Tetraazanaphthalene Radical-Bridged Dysprosium Single-Molecule Magnet with a Large Coercive Field” by Selvan Demir et al.! Read it for free here: pubs.rsc.org/doi/D5SC05358G

Ah! Yeah had we not gotten a dog we had considered getting an Argentine tegu. A few years back we got this little guy!

Hi Grace, had a savannah years ago. she was indeed very mean! so yes. But I can't really have a big lizard now cause of the big furry beast that roams the house!

I keep asking for a 35in monitor for christmas. maybe this is the year?

Breanne of Tarth prepared for rainy Berkeley weather...

is it taught in the Walter White Center?

My quote of the day Through this additional support, we must renew our commitment to provide talented young people with the opportunity to build scientific careers based on their curiosity, the same opportunity that was provided to me when I began my work. Kenneth G. Wilson

HEY! stop that

for some it is drinking beverages with little umbrellas Sven, so you are missed

Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues. just saying...

Meet MIT's newest Dean of Engineering: Paula Hammond. explorers.com/paula-hammon... Photographed for @nationalacademies.org.

Any EPR/DNP folks at Pacifichem. This X-band phased array kinda has us all beat. easy to spot in Honolulu now

prepping to submit a new Nature/Science manuscript...

very moving Arizona memorial visit before Pacifichem

lucky you!

Congrats to Carlito Lebrilla of UC Davis Chemistry for election to the National Academy of Inventors this year. The whole impressive list: academyofinventors.org/wp-content/u...

do you want an alligator snapping turtle for Christmas?

Officially inducted as Professor of the University of St Andrews today. @uniofstandrews.bsky.social @st-andrewschem.bsky.social This would not have been possible without the contributions co-workers and collaborators past and present. Many thanks to you all.

a good "Fermi question" for a physics graduate student exam would be "how many people on earth are watching Season 2 of Heroes today?"

I’m excited to share my postdoctoral work on the mechanism of ThiC! In this collaborative effort, we combined advanced EPR with organic synthesis and DFT to characterize three intermediates of the complex 20-step radical cascade. doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...

thinking about my grad school computing days....makes me wonder why so many folks at AntiVax

Prof. Laura Dassama (Stanford Chem) is developing a small-molecule therapy for sickle cell disease that removes BCL11A, restoring fetal hemoglobin without gene editing. Her goal is a simpler, more affordable sickle cell therapy. brnw.ch/21wXP8k

Senior Scientist to join the NMR Centre and the Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Vienna, Austria, extensive hands-on experience with NMR, EPR, DNP spectrometers, will oversee the operations of the advanced NMR core facility www.nature.com/naturecareer... #NMRjobs #NMRchat 🧲

It so tough these days to get undergrads to milk the rattlers...at least in the UC!

I really wanted to do research as a 16-year-old freshman and the only professor who would let me join his lab did NMR of peptides from rattlesnake venom.

yeah, it wasn't me, it was the "professionals" who destroyed it! quite a story for sometimes

the destroyed magnet rested in the UCB Chemistry machine shop for some time....

I unfortunately have seen this go very badly....

Postdoc position in protein NMR, Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center, iNANO, Aarhus University, the Viennet lab invites you to apply for a 3-year postdoc position funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation international.au.dk/about/profil... #NMRjobs #NMRchat 🧲

I am very excited to share our new preprint - "A Zundel Ion in the Catalytic Proton Transfer Pathway of [FeFe]-Hydrogenase" - for which we revisited an older theory of ours, and came to surprising conclusions... 🧵 doi.org/10.26434/che...

Vincent, Morra, and Rodríguez-Maciá demonstrate that truncating the electron transfer domain of [FeFe]-hydrogenase does *not* diminish their catalytic efficiency (via ACS Catalysis). doi.org/10.1021/acsc...

OMG, thanks for catching! (It's only good for one pulse experiments???)

note: TWT powered, not TNT powered (which would also be cool 💣 💥) TWT = traveling wave tube #NMRchat #EPR #ESR 🧲

I had to run over in the middle and flip it!

CD??? We had a 78 rpm vinyl fill track!

ok, first attempt at a Lotus in Point Richmond seems to be going fine

enjoy!!!

a company (I will not name here) decided to throw away money by setting up a solar array AND Tesla Powerwall at the house, charge us a flat rate for the next 25 years, and it starts for less that we were paying for PG&E power before. Yes solar is just a fantasy power source.
