I totally resonate to the article. Yet, I feel #ChemSky community is quite dormant and needs more buzz!

Do read my article now published in Chemistry World, Royal Society of Chemistry. I've shared how bird photography made me a better chemist. #ChemSky www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/how-...

Wait is over! My article on bird photography helping me to be a better chemist is now live on Chemistry World. #ChemSky www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/how-...

Had a great time at #GWB2026 discussing food and health with students. The slogan competition was a fun time. #IUPAC #ChemSky

Global Women's Breakfast 2026 is all set! A scrumptious gobble with Co(Fe)2 before my talk. Waiting to wrap up my talk and explore this bustling, yet vibrant city in my short stay. P.S. Received GWB2026 chemistry kit that is too precious to share!

Glad to know that I'm on the right site and on right track!

Excited to speak at the upcoming #GWB2026 event to be held in Lucknow.

Going without PPT for a 30 min long technical talk. So no tensions of editing slides and giving clear message that too in bilingual mode. Also more time to move around the city! #GWB2026 #ChemSky

This one-day conference brings together leaders in laboratory automation, analytical sciences, digital innovation, and computational chemistry to explore the practical and strategic steps required to build the lab of the future ✅ Register here: registrations.hg3conferences.co.uk/hg3/frontend...

Perks of being in leadership role in food industry. Invited to Malaysia Food & Cultural Festival. Fun to be a food chemist as I try unique cuisines Food and rhythm in the air :) #ChemSky

🌟 Applications are now open for the Next Generation of AI Chemists Programme, a funded opportunity for penultimate-year undergraduates from backgrounds under-represented in chemistry. 📍 Imperial London | 📅 6–7 July 2026 (in person) 👉 Apply here: buff.ly/MLfs9Zg

In my @nature.com story, I explain how chemists at Yale have created a chemistry AI tool by fine-turning the LLAMA LLM to create 2,498 expert models. Their system can judge which of the different experts to refer a query about reaction conditions to. Impressive! 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Questions have been raised about whether research showing microplastics throughout the body can be trusted.

I will be speaking at an upcoming #GWB2026 event about food and health in Lucknow. Interesting examples on Awadhi cuisine and its relation to women health will be presented. Do stay tuned. #GlobalWomenBreakfast #IUPAC

Sticking with yesterday’s fruity theme, February is also #NationalCherryMonth 🍒 Here’s a look at how the chemistry of sweet and sour cherries differs: www.compoundchem.com/2016/07/21/c...#NationalCherryMonth #ChemSky 🧪

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. "So what do you think? Do you know any Reds? Do you have any around you? If you want to get to know some famous Red people, consider Steve Jobs, FDR, Venus Williams, or Margaret Thatcher."

Interesting webinar in the Valentine month. #ChemSky @acs.org www.acs.org/acs-webinars...

The hope that keeps many PhDs in their final year going

Excellent read of my day. Quite a "stir" on stirring! #ChemSky

Episode 1 of our brand-new chemistry podcast is here! Host Mariana Kneppers gives you the latest headlines, then sits down for a chat with CW staff Jennifer Newton and Jamie Durrani. They first discuss total synthesis, then take on a different subject: halogen-bond catalysis.

A coffee break before the weekend sets in :)

I cannot be friends with scientists who don't know the fundamental rules of Fourier Transform and Infrared spectroscopy. That is it. No negotiations. #ChemSky

Kite & kite #birding #sankranti

Surprised! In my 15+ academic career, I didn't witness this phenomenon. Maybe students try to sniff chemicals but not consume or eat chemicals. This could be influence of reels on social media. #ChemSky

I love the way my industry work takes me to different cities and countries. Awaiting my upcoming work and travel #touchwood #ChemSky

I’m really tired of collaborators or even “friends” taking my research ideas, and then trying to run off with them, while excluding me. Advice: sign formal IP agreements from the start!

Interesting article. #ChemSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'm searching for literature where organic reactions are conducted in water only. Neither surfactant nor solvents are employed in the reaction. Please share your views if such reactions can be performed and scaled-up? #ChemSky

👀 “If you are a 75-year-old professor reading this, now would be a good time to take emeritus status. It’s something that a lot of people could do that would contribute enormously. The job market for young people would be in much better shape if most people over 75 retired.”

Making bad choices about what to post on main again.

Check out the freshly updated Research Platform of the @efsa.europa.eu where you will find access to many funding calls related to #foodsafety that are opening now under the last work programme (26/27) of #HorizonEurope.

Oh boy... (re: AI review) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Day well spent in selecting senior scientists for our new division of cosmetic chemistry. The year 2026 started in a productive way. Need some music & drink with loved one to relax after grueling hiring processes.

Food on my plate: Ragi roti, lady finger sabzi, boiled egg and white ginger-turmeric winter salad. #ChemistsWhoCook

Excellent read! A note that I will quote which is succinct: "Media has a long half-life; what you say will follow you." #ChemSky

Interesting work. #ChemSky www.chemistryworld.com/news/the-che...

"You’ve got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, know when to walk away, and know when to run..." Kenny Rogers (The Gambler)

Out now! Do read.

Reactor engineering has existed for over a century… Chemists: Nah, that’s flow chemistry now

Update: Got the narcissist collaborator to book. Not only did he send the long-pending work but also apologized for his behavior. Guess my fencing parry worked without the real epee.

Interesting work that demonstrates novel reaction is practical and scalable up to 56 g. #ChemSky pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
