Incredible piece of Search Engine Optimisation

The publishers of Frontiers are very proud of their fraud-detection software and have appointed themselves as "Guardians of Research Integrity". Also, they publish stuff like this.

MOFES’26 has wrapped up! It was great to connect with so many researchers and industry professionals. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our stand and shared conversations with our team. Learn More: 🌐 hidenisochema.com ☎️ +44 (0) 1925 244678 ✉️ [email protected] - - #MOFES26 #MaterialsScience

This is huge: For the first time since the early 1970s, coal power generation has fallen in both China & India. It undercuts claims that decarbonisation is pointless while they expand coal. Renewables are no longer just adding capacity — they’re displacing coal. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Thank you to our sponsors for supporting the RSC CNN Annual symposium: Agilent, Anton Paar, Blue Scientific, CELLINK, Fluorochem, Hiden Isochema, Henry Royce Institute, Verder Group, Grant Instruments, and RSC journals @nanoscale-journals.rsc.org & @daltontrans.rsc.org #RSCNano #chemsky #nanosky

It's great to see the @hidenisochema.bsky.social exhibition stand creeping into the second photo. I didn't attend this - it was my colleague Mark Roper - but it looks like a great venue & a very interesting meeting.

Hi #Bluesky community! I'm a Prof @sydneyuni.bsky.social engineer/scientist who loves playing with neutrons at ANSTO! I'm passionate about helping academia & industry getting access to large scale facilities & novel technology with the goal to improve structure integrity of #AdvanceManufacturing

This is really interesting. "Many researchers are making extraordinary claims, but not providing even ordinary evidence." That sounds very familiar!

Day 2 at the @rsc.org Chemical Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Symposium. We’re here until 5pm today - come and visit our stand to speak to us! Learn More: 🌐 hidenisochema.com ☎️ +44 (0) 1925 244678 ✉️ [email protected] - - #Nanoscience#Materials#RoyalSocietyOfChemistry#SurfaceScience

We’re at MOFES’26 from today until 15 January in Bangalore 🇮🇳 Excited to connect with researchers and industry experts around MOFs, porous materials, and sustainability! - - #mofes26 #EnergyMaterials #Sustainability #MOFs #PorousMaterials

Wow! Reviewer #2 of a manuscript I submitted wrote: "There were several times while I was reading this manuscript that I wanted to give a standing ovation" Something is off in the universe. But I will frame this email.

We’ll be attending the RSC Chemical Nanoscience & Nanotechnology (CNN) Symposium next week at Burlington House, London. If you’re attending the CNN Symposium, we’d be delighted to connect! Read on to see our next RSC event - hidenisochema.com/events/join-... - - - #RSC#Nanoscience#MaterialsScience

It seems @maddicoat.bsky.social has an impersonator now. How odd.

Don’t dwell on the mistakes you made over the past year, look forward to the mistakes you’re going to make in the new year.

I didn't know this was a thing. I'm with Jane (though I'm not sure she'll fully appreciate my support).

Critique argues post-publication peer review "often focuses on minor details" and "risks damaging trust in both the research itself and the peer review process" found to contain: - Hallucinated references - Undisclosed COIs (EiC is author) - 8/9 authors have retractions or related scandals

Richard Robson always had very small research groups and limited, sporadic funding. This has never been better illustrated than by the acknowledgement slides to the Nobel lectures of Robson, Kitagawa, and Yaghi (only 1 of 4 slides shown below). We punched above our weight! #ozchem #NobelPrize

Scientists created a dolphin with legs. Animal rights groups want the legs removed. But that would defeet the porpoise

Alright, I'm intrigued.

This paper with this unbelievable #AI generated yet peer-reviewed Figure 1, is still available online (pending editiorial response). It has now a whopping 932 altmetric score, with - quite interestingly - only 18 posts on X (<93k followers), while on Bluesky there are 1453 posts (<3.4M followers).

I need suggestions for a journal that will publish some careful work we have that shows how difficult it is to collect specific data carefully and how to it properly. It accidentally shows key papers in the field are likely wrong. Currently getting referees telling us there is no **impact**…

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

#ChemChat Is it possible to tell when a physical organic chemist is suffering from early stages of dementia? I find myself mumbling "its a complex interplay of sterics and electronics balancing entropic and enthalpic considerations" to myself a lot more than I probably should.

Next up, Jennifer Byrne @jabyrnesci.bsky.social with "Paper Mills, Fraud and More" Paper mills are not predatory publishers - they offer authorship positions and publish in real scientific journals. Lots of profits: folks who need papers, paper mills, journals. #IRICSydney

Following #AIChE2025, I had one main aim today & that was to get to Chinatown in Boston & have some dim sum. Thankfully, that was successful (photographic proof attached). My only other aim is to catch my flight home & that seems to be going okay too.
