Don't miss Sonja Herres-Pawlis, Andrij Pich et al's recent article #ChemSciCovers 'Depolymerization of PLA catalyzed by guanidine-modified microgels' 🔗 doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...#ChemSciCovers @herreslab

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

"Sollte es weder zu einem solch beispiellosen technologischen Wandel noch zu einem deutlichen Rückgang der Weltwirtschaft kommen, werden die globalen Durchschnittstemperaturen bis 2050 um mehr als 3 °C über das vorindustrielle Niveau steigen." #Klimakatastrophe

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same. Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

„Dann geh halt Bäume pflanzen!“ Manchmal lese ich das in unfreundlichen Kommentarzeilen. Zur 35-jährigen Jubiläumspflanzung des Bergwaldprojekts in meiner lieben Harzer Heimat dazu ein paar Worte. Es geht um nicht weniger als um die Frage: „Was kann ich tun?“ Meine Antwort: „Pflanzt Bäume in Köpfe!“

Boston. Wow.

Dear all, On August 25th, we held the DALIA Satellite Meeting to CoRDI in Aachen. For details, check out our new blog post on ➡️ dalia.education/en/news. @nfdi4chem.de @nfdi4culture @nfdi4ing.bsky.social @nfdi4health #CoRDI25 #DALIA #NFDI #RDM #dataliteracy

The plan for NSF is to demote its director to an advisory role to what a former senior figure compared to a Soviet political commissar. Also, greatly reduce the role of rotators from academic departments to consolidate administration power. This is a disaster for science and innovation.

🌍Meet Prof. @herreslab.bsky.social at #SCNOWSummit (Nov 6–7)! Chair of Bioinorganic Chem at RWTH Aachen, she pioneers #sustainablepolymerization & #circularchemistry. Don’t miss her talk and register NOW 👉https://events.thieme.com/scnow-virtual-summit-accelerating-the-transition-to-circularity/

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

It is an honour to host the InChI Trust Board here in Aachen ---- for the first time....but hopefully not the last ;-) Thanks to @volkswagenstiftung.de !

Great conference! So wonderful to bring all RDM afficionados together.... #fairdata #NDFI @daliaeducation.bsky.social

Dear all, 📢 We would like to announce the contributions to the #CoRDI on the 26th - 28th of August 2025 in Aachen. @nfdi4chem.de @nfdi4culture.bsky.social @nfdi4ing.bsky.social @nfdi4health #DALIA #NFDI #RDM #FAIRdata

The @ametsoc.org State of the Climate Report for 2024 is now published: doi.org/10.1175/2025... I am happy to have contributed again to this year's issue - see our section in 'The Arctic' chapter: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS... Another historic year for Earth's climate... 🚨

Summary of the the highlights of our recent technical InChI meeting: stereochemistry in molecular inorganics, atropisomers, polymer InChI, our development philosophy, governance / implementation, and tools / APIs / reference data. www.inchi-trust.org/shaping-the-... #chemsky @herreslab.bsky.social

Would you like to know more about the groundbreaking judgement of the International Court for Justice on the legal obligation of countries to fight climate change? And what it means e.g. for climate court cases in the US? Here is the podcast for you! www.climateone.org/audio/young-...

I do think this is indicative of the sheer absurdity of what we're living through. OpenAI is allegedly worth $500 billion - more than Netflix - and this is their brand new product that is meant to be super powerful. Does this really make a billion dollars a month? This thing? ChatGPT?

#OER #FAIRdata Directly before the #CORDI conference of @nfdi.de at @rwth.bsky.social ! enjoy a whole day with excellent talks by international guests and lively exchange! Contributions from @codata-isc.bsky.social and @psdi-uk.bsky.social and many more...

"A climate nonprofit is planning to revive a key federal database tracking billion-dollar weather disasters that the Trump administration formally stopped updating in May. The database - which was produced by NOAA - is set to return this fall as a product of @climatecentral.org."

“Scientists don’t have the Hippocratic oath that doctors do, but we should. If you see that harm to the stability of climate and to present and future generations is being caused, then, in my opinion, you have a moral and ethical responsibility as a climate scientist to speak out against that.”
