Truly sad news today. Emma was an inspiring Dean of Science at UNSW and always dedicated to making a real difference in the world, as well as beaming with energy and positive vibes. A pleasure to work with and an inspiring leader in times when they seem so hard to find. She’ll be sadly missed.

Fantastic news, congrats Paul!

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.

ARC says Discovery Projects outcomes will be tomorrow (Tuesday). Linkage Projects (2025, round 1) on Wed. Over past ~year, it's often been at about 11am (Canberra). My bot will pick up the change to RMS & post immediately. ARC should email outcomes to lead CIs, but might take an 1hr or so for DPs

Fantastic to see one of my chemical heroes, Richard Robson, winning the Nobel Prize for coordination frameworks (MOFs), together with Kitagawa and Yaghi. #ozchem

Calling all synthetic chemists! We are looking for a new colleague at York University in Toronto 🇨🇦 for a 3 year limited term position as Assistant Professor (Teaching stream) in synthetic chemistry. www.yorku.ca/vpepc/facult...

We’ve also been thinking about this a lot in recent years. Even “well mixed” solutions are really very heterogeneous, even though we synthetic chemists don’t like to admit it, and it can change reaction outcomes…. #ChemSky

Scaling up like this takes attention to every little detail, and a willingness to question your typical assumptions. Not everyone is capable of it!

Love this story about the absurdity of citation metrics in @science.org : www.science.org/content/arti...

Everybody knows that LLMs suck in most science-related stuff. But maybe the are good in something that is Large (6000 entries) and Language (mostly)? Because they are Large Language Models. Let's try few of them on mineral names, with great detailed databases (created by humans). #minerals 🧵1/n

This is an excellent illustration of how useless the "Impact Factor" metric is. The most influential multidisciplinary chem journals are JACS and Angewandte. They did not make the list. In this short ad hoc 🧵 I will analyze in real time what made the list and why. I have a bad feeling about this.

Today was Dr Isis Middleton's last day with us! It's been a lot of fun working with Isis for the past 2 years and she's done a fantastic job on a wide range of crazy projects. Wishing her all the best for her next adventures! #ozchem

Open to Opportunities & Support for Ongoing Scientific Work Dear colleagues/friends, My name is Radoslav Pavlovic, and I’m a scientist specializing in the supramolecular chemistry of biomaterials, with a strong background in magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

We have a 3-year postdoc position available, starting in October, to work on molecular capsules for catalysis. Click on the link below to apply! 👇 Happy to have informal chats about the post - send me an email. Application deadline 6 July. edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid... #chemsky

So, I'm on holiday, so it's the perfect time to post a thread that's been sitting around for a while. How difficult is it to make your own spheroid production system comparable to the expensive MicroTissue or AggreWell systems? Easy, actually. 1/n #DIY #biology #science #3d_printing

3D printing for the win :) Super nice project 👇

I have the chance to get a Raman spectrometer for my group since the colleague who was responsible for Raman has left for industry. Is there a good book or ressource to learn some details (also about TERS), since I only have very limited knowledge in that area so far? #ChemSky #MaterialsSky 🔋🧑‍🔬 ⚒️
