Hello #ChemSky community! We're now on bluesky @chemsocrev.rsc.org 💙 Be sure to follow us for top reviews by leading researchers from across the chemical sciences 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

You can find other @rsc.org journals including @chemsocrev.rsc.org and @chemicalscience.rsc.org in this handy starter pack. go.bsky.app/QAaTTZ3

Au plus les personnes utilisent l’IA générative dans leur travail, moins elles feront preuve d’esprit critique et au moins elles sollicitent leurs capacités d’analyse. Cela peut "entraîner la détérioration de facultés cognitives qui devraient être préservées". www.francetvinfo.fr/replay-radio...

Bonjour! Vous avez embarqué sur Hello Quitte X, et nous vous en remercions. Comme nous l’avons expliqué lors de la soirée #HelloQuitteX du lundi #20Janvier, nous ne sommes pas encore passés à la phase 2 (activation de la reconnexion). 1/6

Free RSC conference for Nanoscience PhDs and PDRAs this April in London - it will be a great chance to give your first talk or start building collaborations which can last your whole career Please send an abstract, share & join us! Register here: www.rsc.org/events/detai... #chemsky #nanosky #RSC

🤔 Musk is a child of Apartheid wealth. Musk didn't invent Tesla, he bought it. Musk didn't invent Spacex, he bought it. Musk didn't invent Starlink, he bought it. Musk didn't invent "X," he bought it. Musk didn't invent Trump, he bought him.

my last (latest?) tweet on X

Can Musk lose influence if politicians, institutions and media leave X? Yes, answers mathematician @chavalarias.bsky.social “We are the ones who give Elon Musk his power. We can take it away from him” www.liberation.fr/idees-et-deb...

Plenary and Keynote speakers for the next International Symposium on Green Chemistry (ISGC). Honored to be included in this prestigious line-up!
