SCAM ALERT. This is a fake conference that ripped off my and other people’s names to trick people into registering. There is no such conference that I or the others shown were invited or agreed to. We are working to try to get this fraud taken down from the web. chemsymposia.com

Guess what? It turns out scientists don’t like Nazis!

Even the smallest contamination on an NMR tube can significantly impact your results. A dirty sample can lead to: - Poor shimming and reduced sensitivity - Potential contamination of the probe, requiring time-consuming maintenance #NMRchat #ChemSky #RealTimeChem

Here’s my strategy for keeping track of assay data. I started doing this in grad school and it’s still serving me well! youtu.be/-A1WoAY-aaE example template: bit.ly/assaylog #365DaysOfScience #chemsky #realtimechem #biochemsky

Yesterday, I attended the launch of @nadsn.bsky.social white paper "Towards a fully inclusive environment for disabled people in STEMM" #NADSNWhitePaper Inclusion isn’t a burden—it’s the key to innovation #DisabeledInSTEM #RealTimeChem #ChemSky Read the white paper 👉 shorturl.at/Fcidd

Last week, the @rsc.org held their 5th Inclusion & Diversity Forum—a powerful reminder that equity in science is about real lives, careers & futures #ChemSky #RealTimeChem We stand firm: 🔹 Amplifying voices 🔹 Strengthening partnerships 🔹 Supporting our community www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbyQ...

I'm so happy to see my @chemistryworld.com story on spin entanglement as the #1 most read online! 🥳 Keep reading, it's also the first solution synthesis of a super interesting structure shaped like a small bowtie 🧪 #ChemSky #RealTimeChem 👉🏽 bit.ly/4cqtkcW

I'm getting to this a bit late, but I've just read this fantastic review of high Z' crystals/CSP by Paul Waddell in @crystengcomm.rsc.org . Definitely a paper I'll be coming back to in the future: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... #csp #compchemsky #chemistry #crystallography

Congratulations to Edis and @sourjyamal.bsky.social, who have completed their studies on a new and efficient approach towards gamma-alkylidene lactones directly from carboxylic acids and lactones now posted on @chemrxiv.bsky.social chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr... #chemsky #chemistry

We are pleased to share that our recent @rsc.org Chemical Science article has been selected and included in their 2024 most popular Chemical Biology articles collection. #chemistry #biophysics pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/...

Re-inventing the wheel. Instead of a #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky summary here is my version of a pKa (in H2O) scale. Values are taken from the wonderful Evans/Ripin & Hans Reich resources. If you want a table, I recommend these. This was an attempt at a more visual representation of the data Enjoy

Died #OTD 1928 Lydia Maria DeWitt: a pathologist who studied tuberculosis. She looked for dyes that would penetrate tuberculous lesions, especially dyes incorporating metal atoms such as copper, gold and mercury. She also worked hard to encourage women in scientific research #ChemSky #WomenInScience

Helplines asked #CLEAPSS for an alternative to CuO/H₂SO₄ neutralisation reaction salt making for students to make salts. Not easy, but using ed/ox metal/acid reactions uses the same skills. This is iron(II) sulfate made from staples. #ITeachchem #RealTimeChem #chatchemistry

Pretty crystals were a surprise waiting for me when I collected my NMR sample today- shame it’s a known compound, but at least it shows me an alternative purification route to try when making this next time 😄 #RealTimeChem 🧪⚗️

🔹🔷Fluorite Fluorescence!🔷🔹 George Stokes coined "fluorescence" in 1852 after fluorite, which glows blue under UV light. Fluorite is CaF2. Fluorescence is usually caused by yttrium, europium, or samarium impurities. #FluorescenceFriday #RealTimeChem #SciComm

Really inspiring hearing @UOW student Lily share her story with a room full of academics. First in family, learning to navigate uni, and it was an environmental chemistry class that hooked her. #ThisisUOW #ecrchat #WomenInSTEM #RealTimeChem

Hi #realtimechem folk. I'm looking to add some diversity to my referee suggestions for a chemical demonstration paper (think fire and smoke) for a chem ed journal. Do you have any colleagues that enjoy fireballs from an academic and educational perspective? #diversitymatters

Been off #chemsky for a while doing some #realtimechem. What have I missed 😅🫠😢🤦‍♂️😭

Probably an indictment of this AI’s garbage physical properties, but our formulation CRO didn’t find a better option than the “thermally-homogenized playground mud” I whipped up in last-minute panic for 2024’s trials. Results were good, though, so I guess I’m making more! #chemsky #RealTimeChem

📢 Calling all UK undergraduates in the chemical sciences 🧪 Help shape the future of inclusion & diversity by sharing your experiences #RSCSocioeconomicInclusion 📅 The @rsc.org survey closes 10 March 👉 Act Now - Take the survey survey.alchemer.eu/s3/90795993/... #Time4Chem #RealTimeChem #ChemSky

First reaction of the Price group is set up (if you can have a group of one 😜😄) This reaction is the first step in making some organic ‘shrubbery’ or ligands, that I will later coordinate to a metal centre 🧪⚗️👩‍🔬 #newPI

We know the link to our Inclusion & Belonging page was temporarily broken. It was meant to redirect to our new inclusion and belonging page, which aligns with the ACS strategic plan 2025-2029 released on Jan. 1. This has now been corrected, and you can access it here: www.acs.org/about/inclus...

Excellent explainer by @philipcball.bsky.social on why now more than ever scientists need to resist the logic of "anticipatory obedience" www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/scie...

#ChemTogether. Forever. #RealTimeChem #ChemSky #Chemistry

Completely condemn the highly disappointing decision by @acs.org to take down and then amend their pages on Diversity, equity, and inclusion - www.acs.org/about/divers... - this is not what #RealTimeChem stands for.

Using Pu-242 has resulted in some of the best colors I’ve ever seen as a chemist. 🤩 @realtimechem.bsky.social @berkeleylab.lbl.gov #plutonium #realtimechem #fblockrocks #radiochemistry

Delighted to be hosting Swadhin Chakraborty from IIT Kharagpur in our labs in Bradford. He's visiting us for three months to get some experience making branched polymers - am looking forward to some more exciting collaborations!

Only by bringing our whole selves to work can we truly thrive. 'Chemistry is Personal' charts my journey as a chemist, the way some of our chemistry intersects with personal experiences, and LGBT+ representation in STEM. This seminar is in Sheffield but also online. Click Prachi's post to sign up!
