HOT in RSC Sustainability🔥 Valorisation of invasive plant (Rhododendron ponticum) biomass into activated biochar as a sustainable adsorbent for emerging pharmaceutical contaminant removal from water from Tielidy de Lima, Michael Nugent and colleagues doi.org/10.1039/D5SU... #SustainableChemistry

Congratulations to all the regional winners for the 2025 IOCD Essay Competition👏 This year's theme was “From waste to wealth: how chemical sciences can sustainably transform waste into valuable products.” Check out all the winning entries here: pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/... #Chemsky

Latest work in @rscsustainability.rsc.org: we used #mechanochemistry and pyrolysis to valorise invasive plant waste biomass into high-performance activated #biochar for the removal of emerging pharmaceutical contaminant from water.

🚨 Now online! Margaret Sobkowicz, Gregg Beckham, and co-workers evaluate and implement multiple process changes to improve the scalability and viability of PET production via enzymatic recycling. #ChemSky #ChemBio www.nature.com/articles/s44... link ($) ➡️ Free read PDF: rdcu.be/ekUrn

Before merging, SFI and IRC offered enterprise-facing fellowships. As Research Ireland develops a new consolidated fellowship programme, the SFI Industry RD&I Fellowship will run one last time under the Placement Stream. (1/2)

A great display of initiatives aimed towards bridging the gender gap in science, spearheaded by Dr Aiofe Lane during her SHE Research Symposium today at The Mary Ward Centre for Science #STEM #TUS #EUinmyRegion

Great to see this out on local news. Read more: www.westmeathindependent.ie/2025/04/02/t...

This research will enable families to better advocate for the right supports and services, said PhD researcher Jennifer Fitzpatrick.

Massive thanks for the lovely ceremony last week. It was great to celebrate with fellow researchers and friends. I was honoured to be commended by Professor Cunnane on my Environmental Science Association of Ireland (ESAI) Postgraduate Researcher of the Year Award. #chemsky tus.ie/news/tus-cel...

Delighted to win the prestigious ESAI Postgraduate Researcher of the Year Award 2024 in recognition of PhD thesis work titled “Towards Circularity for Petroleum- and Bio-Based Plastics: Tailoring Properties and End-of-Life Routes” #ChemSky #Plastics #GreenChemistry www.esaiweb.org/funding---aw...

I’ll miss gently berating him about how he could never organise files on his laptop and always had hundreds of files on his desktop. Fraser delivered my first chemistry lecture and the rest is history… I learned so much and owe him so much. RIP. chemistry.northwestern.edu/people/in-me... #Chemsky

Don't use red and green data lines/surfaces in the same panel please #chemsky. It can be difficult for some colorblind readers to differentiate them. I've accepted (in principle) 2 papers today, and both sets of authors were asked to remove red/green colour contrasts www.nature.com/articles/d41...

New Master degree programme „Sustainable Chemistry“ starts in the winter term 2025/2026 at @RWTH !! Stay tuned! #sustainability #chemistry4future #chemsky www.chemie.rwth-aachen.de/cms/chemie/S...

#chemsky Anyone knows of some good feeds on #GreenChemistry #SustainableChemistry or #Catalysis? Asking for a friend 😀

Hi #ChemSky - recent Starter Pack for our #GreenChemistry and #SustainableChemistry community out there! Please give it a follow and let me know if you'd like to be included! 🌱🌎 go.bsky.app/Bmp4DHn

Hi #chemsky! Now that it has definitely kicked off, I am a chemical engineer working with polymer materials, specifically in sustainability and circularity for plastics. Most importantly, I’m a husband and a father of 3!

We have a beautiful paper in SCIENCE today from Xianyuan Wu and collaborators in Katalin Barta’s group on a new epoxy resin that can be derived from biomass and comes completely apart in hot methanol. chemsky 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A little spell of spring on Easter Sunday. Happy Easter! 🌷✝️

Excited to see the first flowers of our homegrown strawberry plants coming out in the greenhouse! 🌱😍

New paper out on mixed plastic waste upcycling into new biopolymer. #sustainability #polymer #science #chemsky #biotech www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hey #Chemsky! Need an invite code for a friend? I’ve got 5! Please do let me know in the comments below or drop me an email (details on @martinstoermer.bsky.social’s spreadsheet)

Hey #ChemSky, you know that friend who’s been waiting for an invite code to join us? Well, I’d be happy to share another code so please get in touch

The 6-months woke up right when I was embracing my desk rejection.\

Welcome to ChemSky, @felixbach.bsky.social!

@martinstoermer.bsky.social did so. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Abraham came forward and said “…What if there should be 50 righteous people in the midst of the city? … What if 40? … What if 20? … What if 10?…” And [God] said “I will not destroy on account of the 10.” Shabbat Shalom

Hey #ChemSky #RealTimeChem I have to invite codes to share if you want to invite a friend to join us. I did post about it on the old bird website, but you know…

For those of you on ChemSky who are still on the ex-bird app, the annual #ChemNobel poll is up if you fancy casting your vote... x.com/stuartcantri...

Friday, September 1st. I was glad to be at our first (ChemSky) group gathering in 3 years (yes, there was rain—it’s Ireland!). Then I suddenly had to leave early to bring my wife to the hospital. She was admitted with strong abdominal pain.
