I've only ever done one excel macro and it was written with AI and I wouldn't do it again. It's a worst of all worlds solution

Lmao, website glitch or did someone actually request the list of all my Accredible credentials at 5 am? 😂 I assure you they're real! 😂😂 (Literally just change management certificate + apparently I got one for invited talk at ACS)

Is anyone else getting through a terrible project that needs to be done, just so it won't go into next year? 😂 In case you're wondering how bad it can be, this one involves Excel macros (not writing them, though). #chemchat

Poll (that's not a poll because Bluesky): Do you say "Tamao-Fleming" or "Fleming-Tamao"? I always used to see T-F but nowadays it mostly seems to be the latter 🤔 #chemsky

I quite enjoyed this innovative way to make morpholines, from Connor Delaney's group. It's not compatible with every functionality for sure, but it's pretty neat and simple #chemsky pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Entry 3: A dating app for chemists

It's a good reminder that for AI to help real science, we need the boring stuff like validation, de‑duplication, and better metrics just as much as flashy models.

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at databases and claims around novelty. cen.acs.org/research-int... #chemsky 🧪

Lmaooo, my LinkedIn year in review has put me in the box of being a catalyst 😁😂 Well, I guess I am tasked with reducing Delta G for organizational chemistry success ☺️🤣🤣🤣

Proud I just got mistaken for an actual Swedish person. Ok so it was on an online forum with casually-acquainted people from all over, and there are several prominent Swedes so I throw in the occasional "god morgon" and rarely a whole sentence. Probs not due to my prowess. Still happy though 😂

I've just seen this presented online, as evidence that flu vaccines cause flu. Happy weekend, everybody 🙃

Good news chemists, none of us need drugs because our brains are working perfectly 💁‍♀️ #chemchat

As Nessa Carson moves from organic chemistry into a computational team, a chemical science education is proving fruitful for developing effective ways of learning.

Me: In #AdventOfCode this year, I'm going to find out how to write highly efficient scripts such that every full puzzle solution takes much less than a minute running locally on my laptop Me on Day 10: I meant "on most days" #AoC2025

Has anyone here ever, even once, done a Wulff-Kishner reaction? #chemchat

Either they worded this badly, or paedo rings these days have an unprecedented level of bureaucracy 😬

Oh, Adenine Why can’tcha be true?

Nooooo I finished the Swedish course! No more Swedish, I guess I know all there is to know. Narrator: they really do not. #Duolingo

Ah, December. That means it's time for Deezer to tell me the unhinged combination of music I listened to most. I mean, none of them are weird, it's just they're not especially on a theme #MyDeezerYear2025

Wow I just heard a strange bug I reported ages ago in a popular chemistry software is fixed! Feels like a win because it took a looong conversation with a support guy who thought he understood stereochemistry but didn't (a little knowledge is dangerous...) to get there 😂 #chemchat

Genuinely surprised it took this long into the Swedish course to get here

Hahaha it's that time of year again.😂 Still slightly grumpy to once again be in the most prolific 1% but not 0.1% of users, which has escaped me for I think 3 years now! #Duolingo
