It's not everyday you see @jacs.acspublications.org referenced on @richardosman1.bsky.social House of Games!

2 trips in 3 weeks! Will be in China next week to talk about clean power R&D at the Mission Innovation Green Power Innovation Conference (GPIC-3). Will have a roundtable discussion with Nature journals too! 🤓 #energysky #renewableenergy

Not according to the Birmingham city centre which started the construction of the German Christmas Market on October 1st, and it'll finished within days 🙃 Bah humbug 😠 (until December)

Dressing *smart* to represent the UK at the 30th Executive Committee meeting of ISGAN - the International #SmartGrid Action Network - in Dublin last week 🇮🇪 19 of 27 member countries came together to discuss global collaboration on the fundamental R&D needed for our future electricity systems ⚡💡

Does everyone *actually* hate the new Taylor Swift album? Or are people just being haters for the sake of the algorithm, to drive traffic towards their pick-me "content"?

In honour of October, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand: Final product NMR dropped

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity - per IEA Renewables 2025 report You absolutely love to see it ⚡ #EnergySky #climate #Renewables www.bbc.com/news/article...

You ever go out to a pub/club and get the impression the DJ is actively trying to make the patrons leave? That's happened to me & my friends the last 2 Fridays in a row in the same place. Probably never going back 🙃

Went to see Lewis Capaldi in Birmingham the other night and the best video is this one of him messing up the lyrics 🤣

I have a PhD chemsitry DAMMIT

This just popped up in my FB memories from 9 years ago 🤣 #CraigNotCreg

It sometimes bugs me that "Greenhouse Gas" is given the acronym "GHG". It's not Green House Gas... But then I remember that POSYTYF exists 🥴

There will also be a roundtable discussion with some folks over at Nature, including @natenergy.nature.com and @natrevcleantech.nature.com Should be super interesting! 🤓

I'll be heading to China next month to attend the joint Green Power Innovation Conference and Applied Energy Symposium. Many academics and policy folks will be there to discuss advancements in clean energy R&D. Read more here: applied-energy.org/rem2025/index #energysky #greensky #energytransition

Going to Dublin (4 days) and China (5 days + travel time) for work next month, with 1 week in between, and I'm tired just thinking about this 😭 I can never sleep on planes 😢

I hear this all the time when people try to "sell" cricket. If your selling point of the sport is the drinking and a load of other stuff that *isn't* watching, then that is quite literally the opposite of a spectator sport. I'll stick to *watching* football and rugby, thanks very much.

THIS THISSSSSSSS The main street in Birmingham is an auditory (and visual) hellhole! 😣

Me: *forwards my own meeting invitation to additional attendees* Outlook: YOUR MEETING INVITATION WAS JUST FORWARDED Me:

Our recent preprint, “Exploiting a Cryptic Pocket in DsbA Through Structure-Guided Parallel Synthesis and Direct-to-Biology Screening,” is now available on ChemRxiv. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

😭😭

I go to pub quizzes with friends regularly, and every single time a 'science and nature' round comes up, without fail, they turn and look at me. I'm tired of explaining that I don't have a PhD in THE ENTIRETY OF SCIENCE. It's not even all of chemistry 😭

It's 2025 and for years now I've been able to track my Uber's exact journey to know when it's arriving. Yet I still have to stand for 15 minutes watching the mile-long road for a bus that the tracker claims left 2 mins ago 🙄

😵👏🏻

People who go to the gym in the AM... HOW?! And I don't just mean the 6am crowd. I struggle if I go at the start of the day, as if my body simply hasn't woken up yet.

Update: apparently this person sees the red squiggly error lines under the words and thinks "must be correct!" 🤣

SERIOUSLY?! HOW HARD COULD IT POSSIBLY BE TO SPELL CRAIG?!

Brings back memories of #ChemifyAMovieTitle on Twitter many moons ago! #chemsky

BREAKING: Novel Phosphine Ligand "SkyPhos" Discovered in Greek Red Wine #chemsky

Chem-JAWS-er spotted in the Birmingham Aquarium gift shop 😆 @chemjobber.bsky.social

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Hello, I'm a chemist in a film. My only contribution will be to say something hand-wavy about the lanthanides and actinides before making a scientifically-bonkers suggestion that somehow saves the day.

It just dawned on me that I have spent 22/33 years of my life in education 😵 7 years of primary school 6 years of high school 5 years of UG/Masters 4 years of PhD (+ bonus 4 years of postdoc-ing which is still in the education *system*)

Underappreciated reply tbh 😏

Over-ear headphones are superior to in-ear earbuds.

As a millennial, my SMS history from the last 10 years is literally just 6 digit security codes

The lack of proofreading or editing for online articles nowadays is shocking. They're full of easily spotted mistakes or omissions. Just shows how little people care about doing a job properly. Write it quick and hit publish seems to be the mantra.

Going back again tomorrow, this time to actually see the chemistry department! I'll be giving a talk on "careers after chemistry" alongside a few others including @jesspanch.bsky.social !

I am once again asking for "influencers" who love giving people stuff for free for the sake of likes and views to start handing out ear/headphones to people like this and publicly shaming them. Anyone, kids or not, blaring their phone in public is quite literally a public nuisance. Stop it! 🤬

I miss getting to use this little console. The satisfying click of the buttons, and spinning the wheel to adjust the lock signal - ugh so good! #nmr #nerd 🥸🤣

This is like when Gary Neville invented taking a long weekend and calling it a mini-retirement or a sabbatical 🤣

This attitude absolutely stinks. If Freddie Mercury was still alive and (the original) Queen went back out on tour, I'd eat my hat for a ticket. Freddie died and Queen disbanded before I was born. I can still love their music. Same goes for The Beatles, The Who...etc
