@rsc.org Hej, just thought I'd flag that many multiday events on the new website are showing as if they're just 1 day. Here is an example; there are others. At the top it says 1 day but you can see in the text there are two! :) www.rsc.org/events/find-...

I just spent 3 hours doing a chemical data thing (to be fair, this duration also includes (re)learning how to do the thing) and the number of positive hits I got across my whole dataset was 5. FIVE. Was hoping for 100+... #RealTimeChem

Ginger cat: "aw... this is nice".

MON (extra)PETIT CHOU!

Are you telling me I cannot eat the nanocabbage?

Hi #chemsky! I'm looking for examples of U.S. labs that have closed, moved overseas, or otherwise been lost in the last year. If this is you or someone you know, please reach out: [email protected] or LDattaro.73 on Signal.

No house points. It's organic chemistry! The article is about Doyle's recent Nature on phosphaphotoredox hydroamination. Don't get me wrong, this is an -awesome- paper... I'm just not sure the headline is a perfect match. And the article ends with this quip, suggesting... confusion😂 #chemchat

10 house points to anyone who guesses correctly what this huge lack of understanding of phosphorus was about #chemchat

Not a sentence I ever thought I'd read #chemsky

If you're a chemist, it's fair to say you'll be extremely sceptical of what @theins.press has said in this article! ⤵️ Agree that source is likely not a chemist at all.

How to make your own robot! A review of people making awesome lab robots out of commercial 3D printers. Thank you @vsaggiomo.bsky.social and Sander for inviting me to help write this paper in @digital-discovery.rsc.org. Beep boop! 🤖 #chemsky doi.org/10.1039/D5DD...

Who knew this is how badgers get up stairs?! Incredibly cute hopping badger bum 😂 I can't stop watching. #UKwildlife #wildlife 🦡

Does anyone have examples of their own or others of how to best structure a GitHub repository for a scientific peer-reviewed manuscript? #Science 🧪

My kitchen robot now has AI, which obviously nobody asked for, and it won't respond on any topic other than food. So far I've managed to get it to do maths (forgotten password to my fridge), and give me chemical identifiers and reaction protocols, for an EU Food Standards Authority application

I do wonder how exactly these spammers make up their shit... no of course I'm not attending a meeting that has nothing to do with my work, but hey maybe I'll buy whatever you're trying to sell anyway! #scientistSpam

I'm one of the many reusers of crystal structure data, including (tangentially, though it is an important part) for research we intend to publish as well as background data to help with drugs -> patients🙏 so please submit your structures; it makes a real difference! #chemsky #FAIRdata

Swedish: what? I also just learned the bizarre etymology of smörgås... asimn.org/swedish-cult...

UK-based CRO Apex Molecular is shutting down. See notice on their website share.google/rwkd3vsyYTGL... #chemsky

Whose is that cheeky face?! Monch monch monch 🦡 #wildlife #UKwildlife #nature

1) Why isn't "cat scientist" my job title 2) Wait, is this a cat who's a scientist, or a scientist of cats?

According to this BBC report, polychlorinated biphenyls are "forever chemicals", too www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

😳

Well the owner of the muddy pawprint has stepped forwards, and the trail cam has basically paid for itself in excitement on the first night of its deployment in my garden. Thank you for trail cam recommendation @astromikemerri.bsky.social - what a great video! 🦡 #wildlife #UKwildlife #nature

Thread of non-English Wikipedia articles about slang/idioms!!! Here's “Ketchupeffekt” from Swedish Wikipedia. They're all autotranslated to English in my browser

This seems to happen reproducibly, across multiple people, any time, and multiple Google Home devices. I wonder why?! #GoogleHome 🇸🇪

I found the wokest molecule... *squints* trans communist acid?? 😜 #chemchat

Big fan of this woman already, just from the way she writes! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Do you mind when an author refers to non-emotive anthropomorphized ML model features? ("It understands...", "it trusts...") I've seen some people historically dislike it, but it is common and I feel it's fine (even helpful) to use metaphors. Trying to grok the general feeling so be honest! #chemsky

Dunno source, but LOL #chemchat

I don't want to give money to Nigel Farage, but it is fun to try to think of the best thing you could get him to do on Cameo

3rd place with same 22% of Mg, but they got a special prize for stupidity in addition to ignorance. They proudly are bragging how they don’t know chemistry! www.amazon.com/Ramaroma-Mag... 16/n

A lot of people are doing scientific sleuthing, finding faked scientific articles. But can we do something similar with labels of food supplement? Well, in some cases, yes, we can - let me show on the example of so-called magnesium glycinate. #ResearchIntegrety #chemchat #chemsky 1/n

Which mucky-pawed wild beast has visited me in Cheshire? 🤔 #iNaturalist

Angewandte invited me to do a review at 1741 yesterday evening I didn't reply, just forwarded it to my work email to look at today Report no longer needed at 0424 this morning 🤣🤣🤣

Tortured phrases in Temu as well as fake papers 😄 Straight tapered darts = "heterosexual gradual change darts" 😄😄👩‍❤️‍👨

Awesome day at the #Analyticode conference at Burlington House today; so many great talks and of course networking with the best people!! 🥼

Faraday says boy cats will be boy cats: tired, wholesome, and completely adorable

Hmmm I just dialled into a meetup for women who code (everyone welcome, but organized by & primarily for women) and a male troll showed up. Thought they were just being funny at first, but it seems the idea of women writing code and teaching each other was genuinely threatening to this idiot 🙄 🧪

Just come across a paper in a journal I've never heard of, and the references are real (the ones I've checked; one has an typoed page number but otherwise fine) and attributed to the right people, but many of them have titles that aren't a 100% match, and there are no in-text refs. Weird?!

Evotec ending drug discovery in the UK :( good luck to all of those affected: some good people #chemsky

Well I don't think I've ever noticed who Katie Price chooses to marry before, but apparently the latest husband has faked his PhD in biotechnology science... a thing any scientist could have told you based on the fact he called it "biotechnology science" 😬😭 news.amomama.com/500090-katie...

Do you know those annoying layer lines you get with FDM 3D printers? Those layers you try to avoid or hide?  What if I tell you we can use them to make 15-micrometer-tall microfluidic channels? chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.... 1/5 #chemsky the

sugar produces a reaction resulting in more ants, therefore sugar is an ant agonist

Ok it really made me laugh that this Redbubble image was hidden behind a "mature content" spoiler block. Because only the steel-hearted can handle all those pentavalent carbons! #chemchat
