The conversations between Odo and Quark on DS9 are gold.

Does anyone want to have lunch on Sunday at ACS Fall?

I am happy to share that I was selected to present my research in an oral presentation at the ACS Fall 2025 conference in the Current Topics in Biochemistry and Chemical Biology session on Thursday, August 21st! Please come and check out all the talks in the session!

Has anyone seen a NOESY spectrum where one species has no diagonal peak but does show a cross-peak? #nmrchat

What is a good solvent for both lipids and peptides?

Has anyone invented mala chili?

Now I know never to use chloroform as a solvent for peptide NMR.

PEOPLE DON'T JOIN THE ACS BECAUSE THEY THINK IT'S NOT USEFUL, NOT BECAUSE IT HAS AN OLD LOGO quit trying to give the Titanic a new coat of paint and, I dunno, help out the 40% of your members who are freaking out about the Trump Administration setting fire to the American research funding apparatus

“All the Pain Money Can Buy” is still quite a good album.

Submissions are pouring in. There are still 5 minutes to get one in.

Oh for the simpler days of retat dck

Honestly these are all very tempting. Just to clarify “🎯Edit Biomolecules” is a glycoprotein-focused symposium.

I am co-organizing a symposium at the ACS Fall meeting (August 17-21, Washington DC) on glycoproteins and glycoscience titled “Precision Editing of Biomolecules.” If you are interested in submitting an abstract, please do so by Monday March 31. www.acs.org/events/fall/...

Scientists – interested in ways to share your work to non-scientists and decision makers? Please join this webinar on Tues Mar 25 3PM ET from @asbmb.bsky.social, where I'll be joined by @amyjhawkins.bsky.social (U Utah) and Sean Gallagher (AAAS). Register at www.asbmb.org/meetings-eve...

Drop a ship thats not from Star Wars/Trek

#ACSBIOL Sessions on Monday, 24th at #ACSSpring2025: 🌟 Rising Stars, 31A - AM 🏆 Garvan-Olin Medal to Jean Chmielewski, 30E - AM @organicdivision.org 🧬 Honoring Peter Dervan, Ballroom 6C - AM/PM @acsmedi.bsky.social 🏆 Abeles & Jencks Award to Donald Hilvert, 31A - PM 🥂 Sci-Mix, B2/C - Evening

Also, for the record, 17 of my papers used (presumably without the permission of the publishers, who likely own the copyright). Actually I have one eLife paper there, I think they let us keep the rights.

The Division of Organic Chemistry @organicdivision.org is hosting a DEI Coffee hour (for 90 minutes- yes we’re good at math) at the #ACSSpring2025 #ChemSky

Now I just imagine Zaphod Beeblebrox as Zapp Brannigan with 2 heads.

This is absolutely terrifying.

#ChemSky Thank you to the ACS PROF division and SOCED committee for the invite to talk about a career as a non-PhD chemist (yeah I have a lot to say) Sunday 3/23 at 10 am #ASCSpring2025

@acs.org Hire new lawyers if your current ones suggested dropping "Gender & Sexuality" and "Race, Ethnicity, and Nationality" from your Inclusivity Style Guide. What they are telling you is that they aren't good and can't win in court. Find those that can and have a backbone.

Politicians are incredibly annoying.

Wow, Harold Varmus

Off to Stand Up for Science NYC!

Animal models of sex hormone effects and gender affirming care are important to understanding biology and providing safe, evidence-based care to trans people. Scientific curiosity and good medical care for everyone are good things.

If you've got a problem with Canada gooses then you've got a problem with me and I suggest you let that one marinate www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Another “Continuing Crisis” post, this one covering some larger principles and explaining why I’m doing these in general:

Just started watching Twin Peaks. It’s good!

I’d also like to add that as an industry scientist, I read papers from and use resources developed by from academic labs all the time, as well as NIH resources (such as PubMed, duh)

Agreed. In my brief time working in ACS division governance, the majority of dedicated, passionate leaders in the organization have been academic scientists. And they are suffering now.

Everything is still trash / even more trash.

All those asking about a Stand Up For Science event in NYC, here you go! www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f...

Whom do I know who is going to #ACSSpring2025?

Dammit

How is there not a leader in NY??

Can we collect these links from different schools?

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

Aramco, PIF, and Saudi - the CONCACAF Champions Cup, everyone!

🚨🏆AWARD ALERT🏅🚨 The @acsbiol.bsky.social Young Investigator Award will honor a graduate student or postdoc in #biochem or #chembio at #ACSFall2025 with a symposium, plaque, and funding🤑. Nominations are due Tuesday April 1. More details: www.divbiolchem.org/awards/dbc-y...

I am downloading BMRB to an external HD now. Just in case.

What’s the best book to start with for Ursula K LeGuin?

Everything is absolute trash.

Opinion | The system is working fine. The Trump regime will eventually fall and democracy will be restored.

Opinion | Cheer up, liberals, Trump's Reich won't last a thousand years.

Every day we stray further from God’s (Terry Pratchett’s) light.

Ok now I’m in love with Alex Kapranos (again)
