If you believe either that Franklin discovered the double helix, and / or Watson and Crick stole her data, ask yourself how you know this. Then take a read of this article.

Share a reboot or remake television series you love! 📺 The correct answer is Battlestar Galactica but as @popher.bsky.social already called it, I'll go with X-Men 97, which was actually pretty good.

The 1.3.0 update for Civ is so damn good. Turns out all we needed was a pirate mini-game.

Reminder that the deadline to apply to these PDRA positions is 11th November.

Mate I gotta get me a job as a CEO, getting $1 tr for shitposting on social media and taking ketamine rather than doing literally any work is a pretty cushy gig.

I would like to move chemistry-related conversations to chemchat, seeing as how chem/sky is basically a promotion place now. I would have liked that to have moderated, but it's bluntly clear that the publishing houses can't change their spots

If said women work for your competitors, I guess maybe

It's almost like the aggressive attack on trans people was just a pretext for rolling back any kind of gender equality whatsoever

Freshly published: "Primitive genotype-phenotype coupling in fuel-dependent synthetic cells" Amazing work and a critical step towards synthetic life by Hector Soria and Leonie Kauling. A thread will follow soon: t.co/9LfrnVYzoq

This labeler is such a clever way of making spam visible. Bluesky wins yet again: bsky.app/profile/stec...

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

As an organic chemist, how can you get extra value from data without having to transform your research into something else? Find out in this Beilstein webinar, "the value of data-sharing for reaction discovery & developmen" (Simon Coles, Sally Bloodworth) www.beilstein-institut.de/en/talks/org... ⚗️

I'm not crying you're crying. Lovely episode of Mythfits with a bunch of stories about the late great Grant Imahara audioboom.com/posts/879260...

Another casualty of the LLM revolution. In "arXiv’s CS category, review articles and position papers must now be accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review."

We are looking for a PhD student in #chembio / #medchem to help progress our drug discovery project targeting incurable brain cancers. lnkd.in/eaGsgWVr You would use multi-parameter optimisation to improve drug leads and develop chemical probes to identify their (off-)targets and binding sites.

Absolutely horrified by the stabbings on the east coast line. Surreal to have that happen so close to home.

Who knows if Mamdani will be effective in office. But goddamn he's an effective speaker and leader, something we really need in an age when so many people are alienated from politics and so many politicians are just uninspiring.

Thank god justice has been done and this guy will <checks notes> spend the rest of his days living in the lap of luxury supported by the crown www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Alright let me tell you a story about a prominent scientist in my field and my first conference. This was in the days when most had adopted PowerPoint, but some of the older folks still showed up with actual physical slides to show on one of those old fashioned overhead projectors.

UK immigration policy directly undermines its R&D policy. Joined up government? This incoherent policy soup is a shambles.

Honestly why don't more bands go for Halloween number 1 music.youtube.com/watch?v=vG9d...

Honestly being nice to kids who knock on my door and giving them sweets is way more fun than trick or treating ever actually was

If only anyone had ever asked these questions before <glances at mythbusters dvds>

Seriously why did nobody tell me how good Sleep Token are music.youtube.com/watch?v=ukG6...

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Interesting insights into publishing in Chem @cp-chem.bsky.social @cellpress.bsky.social by the editor in chief. Thank you Vjekoslav Dekaris for visiting the Chemistry Departement @lmumuenchen.bsky.social today!

Really good! 👏🏻🤣

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n... My podcast has launched!! Stay tuned for the first episode! I am also looking for people to share their stories about their nonlinear pathways on this podcast. Have you changed careers? Or do you have interests outside the STEM fields? If so, let’s chat! #ChemSky

Come and join us at Birmingham making cages for catalysis. We have a fully funded PhD studentship (UK home fees only) to start in 2026. Very happy to discuss this project, which can be tailored to suit a candidate's interests. Please get in touch if you are interested #chemsky

Burying the lede so deep you'd think they were trying to sink an artesian well.

We're hiring a Deputy Editor for our new journal, Matter & Light. Do you have proven materials research expertise? Are you an experienced Editor with a passion for Science? Check out the link in the post below for more details!

The first instalment of the FoldNetUK Themed Online Seminar series is taking place on 19 Nov at 2:00pm GMT. Invites have gone out to FoldNetUK network members, so do register for the network on our website if you're interested in foldamer-focused events!

It's been one year since my blog on the closure of Hull, which kind of blew up. A thread with some reflections on what's happened since then. 1/ www.michaeloneill.org/blog-1/2024/...

Tech bros just hate the idea of ever paying a salary, don't they?

Would be great to see many of you in Dortmund next spring! Registration is open, please contact me in case you have questions. Please also share in you network :)

“Who goes Nazi” from 1941 harpers.org/archive/1941...

Not the submission process, not reviewer #2, not the editor. Writing the abstract of the paper is often a far greater challenge. And there’s one simple reason for that: most people have a hard time figuring out what’s important for the reader. I ‘ll be sharing tips in next posts - stay tuned!

Time to reach for the wallet. And maybe time for the PSF to consider relocating to a country that is not sliding into the dark ages, or at least not so quickly.

Let me know if you are interested in joining this starter pack #chemsky ⚗️🧪 #molswitch #molmachine go.bsky.app/EwimNbK

Saddened to hear of the passing of Prof. Axel Becke. What he wrote in this article (pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/arti..., @aip-publishing.bsky.social) is one of the reasons why I decided to pursue a doctorate in #compchem. Our community lost one of its giants

Good thread on LLMs - what they’re good at, where they come from and why we should be careful
