No, Musk’s fellowship is not in question: @royalsociety.org have already demonstrated they are too weak to enforce their own regulations.

I’ve cleaned the carpets and furniture: this is the only dry thing to sit in, so the dogs are depressed!

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Nope.

85% of all drug candidates that go into human trials fail. Expensively. This is the central fact of the entire research pharma industry.

You say Sedaka and I say Sodoku. Sedaka. Sodoku. Sodoku. Sedaka. Let's call the Neil thing math.

I remember how exciting this was when @cabot-institute.bsky.social colleagues showed this was feasible! Great to see how far it has come. Scientists create carbon-14 battery that lasts 5,700 years without recharging glassalmanac.com/scientists-c...

Life is so cruel.. Only a few months after finally retiring, the most influential chemistry mentor of mine died in a bad car accident. He worked all his life for it to end when he finally started relaxing. Please, all of you, enjoy your life when you can because it's way too short... #chemsky

Blueberries are a a profoundly insipid fruit. Muffins are the least interesting baked good. Blueberry muffins serve no purpose in society. Thank you for attending my Ted talk.

It's frustrating applying for grants where a huge amount of effort goes into the preparation of a section that, in all probability, will never get read. Multiply that by the number of researchers applying for those grants and that is a mind-boggling vast amount of wasted effort across the sector!

Just saw on LinkedIn ‘an exciting opportunity for a self-funded PhD!’ Wow. Unbelievable.

Just farted and blamed in on a hen.

Go for it. I don't even care any more.

Chippy tea! Boom!

This is a great opportunity for organic chemists interested in research with undergraduate students. (Plus I was once told they having curling close by.)

Just wondering- is there a way that they could both lose? That would be nice.

Proper start to a week off!

Wut?

Iced (homebrewed) white Zinfandel spritzer on a hot afternoon- that hits the spot!
