This one will be a great throwback to my PhD research a few years ago - if your research covers optoelctronic materials, don't miss out on what's sure to be a brilliant discussion! Follow @faradaydiscussions.rsc.org for more updates.

Join in the @faradaydiscussions.rsc.org on #Optoelectonic materials. We'll discuss how structural, electronic and optical properties affect device performance, combining expertise across materials design, modelling, characterization, and engineering. Submit an abstract by 13 October 2025 #ChemSky

All the firms I have advised have now understood that this is "guidance" and they don't have to follow it. The law does not require you to provide spaces that are inclusive only of "biological sex". Carry on as before.

If you’re still wearing a mask, thank you Thank you for standing in solidarity with disabled & high risk people Thank you for practicing community care Thank you for following the science & seeing the value in breaking chains of transmission Thank you protecting your health Thank you.

Despite the fact that vaccines have saved millions of lives and RFK Jr made promises that he was not anti-vaccine when he was confirmed as HHS and pledged to maintain vaccines and science integrity he is systematically going back on that promise #ImmunoSky 🧪🧵

These kids are amazing 🥰 chuffed.org/project/supp... If you're so inclined, you can support them here.

Can't have kids er... (checks notes)... reading quietly in public? That sounds dangerous, they might become informed about their human rights and how they're being repeatedly violated!

Happening now! Trans Kids Deserve Better Scotland are holding a read-in outside Glasgow City Chambers. They are protesting cuts to school libraries in Glasgow.

I grew up under Section 28 and this horrific policy is already doing untold damage. Pandering to the most bigoted minorities in order to gain a handful of votes is going to spectacularly backfire for Labour.

I was one of the many thousands of people with ME/CFS who took part in this study, and it's fantastic to see the results published as a preprint today. For the first time we have evidence that ME/CFS is partly caused by genes related to the immune & nervous systems. 1/5

For those working in lignin research, I can't emphasise enough how valuable and exciting Faraday Discussions are - the discussion format is so unique, and as an added bonus, this one is at Burlington House, which is a lovely venue full of cool chemistry history.

There’s still time to submit your computational chemistry, catalysis, and materials science papers to our collection honouring Prof. Jumras Limtrakul! 📢 #compchemsky 📅 Deadline extended until 30th October 2025 Read the first papers published in the collection: pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/...

Happy Disability Pride Month!! Special shoutout to the individuals and organizations working on the ground to build community and support (since governments won't take care of us) 💜

Some disabled joy to start off disability pride month! 💜 If you don't usually wear a mask in public, this is a great event to join if you're interested in trying out masking again, and we will have plenty of different styles of masks available to find one that works for you 😷🎨

Join us for chill crafts and social time next Tuesday, July 8th, from 6pm to 8pm at Lavender Menace Queer Books Archive and online! We'll bring a variety of masks and crafts to try, and you're welcome to bring your own or just come hang out.

What we need now is a queer army* I'm excited to announce my latest Pride pins: a whole crew of queer frogs 🐸 Please share them and check out the thread below to meet the gang 🧵 canopyrobin.etsy.com/uk/listing/4... *Army is the collective noun for a group of frogs

🧬💡 New insights into bio-nano interactions! In their recent paper, Catalina Nicolau, Sergi Burguera, María de las Nieves Piña, and Antonio Bauzá investigate how amino acids interact noncovalently with silver and gold nanoparticles. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

🤔 What if classic probability puzzles could be encoded in chemistry? We mapped the Monty Hall problem into a deterministic chemical reaction network using mass-action kinetics. Curious? ... then check out our latest paper with @wenzhulab.bsky.social in @pccp.rsc.org doi.org/10.1039/D5CP...

Hey #chemsky and #compchemsky - we're welcoming submissions to this @pccp.rsc.org Festschrift on topics including:   • Molecular reaction dynamics   • Computational chemical dynamics   • Potential energy surfaces & free energy landscapes   • Electronic structure theory & computation

Earlier this year Prof Martyn Poliakoff was plunged into darkness by the recent Iberian Peninsula Blackout - but that's just the start of the story! In his latest video he talks about the experience and how it led to his latest paper in Green Chemistry on Resilience by design for chemistry

Exciting news!! 🥳🧪

The @rsc.org had hoped to make all of its journals open access by 2028. It is now adapting its plans in light of increasingly complex and uncertain publishing landscape. #ChemSky #ScienceSky

Very pleased to see a few one-off and regular events in Scotland this summer with precautions in place to mitigate the risk of covid and other airborne viruses, which remain a risk even in 2025! Wearing a mask is punk actually 😷🔥

It's been heartening to see individuals and organisations step up and recognise that offering masked events/spaces expands accessibility and keeps everyone safer, including able-bodied people! Check out these events or opening times with added precautions in Edinburgh & Glasgow this summer ☀️😷🌧️

Great to see our @pccp.rsc.org Deputy Chair Fritz Schaefer giving the journal a shout-out during his talk at #WATOC2025 today #compchem An iconic quote from his talk: "I thought ten years ago B3LYP was over, but it's coming back!"

and wearing a mask is indeed punk as fuck here’s a free zine about it: shorturl.at/C1OEE
