Hi #Chemsky any chance I could nab a post doc position in cheminformatics or organic chemistry? I I just finished my PhD in Pharmacology and I’m looking to switch careers

I know this is corny but this guy gets being American in a way you can’t put on a civics test

How long should a resume be for an industry job in 🧪 #science ? Should it have information about course work during PhD studies?

Let's talk about James A. Harris, the co-discoverer of Rutherfordium and Dubnium, elements 104 & 105. He was the first African-American to be involved in the creation of a new element. Born Waco, TX in March 1932 BS in Chemistry at HBU Hutson-Tillotson College in Austin, TX.

Good news feels good man

Hear me out— we already have a ‘self-driving’ car called public transportation. If we invested more in rail travel and high throughput, dedicated bus routes we would absolutely not need private, robot chauffeurs

Skype a Scientist offers free matches with scientists for Q&As about science. We're a small nonprofit and rely on word of mouth for people to learn about us! Since the fracturing of social media, I don't know where the teachers went 🤔 Are YOU a teacher? Help us find you! #SciEd #Teachers

What are common movies people watch on Thanksgiving? #movies #turkeyday #thanksgiving 🦃

Fingers crossed 😓

we are the generation of jewish americans you raised us to be. you taught us nation shall not lift up sword against nation. you taught us to pray for peace. you taught us to love our neighbor. you cannot call us antisemites because we won’t endorse apartheid or the occupation. you taught us values.

Should research be funded by a grant writing system grounded in competition? Are there alternatives that are more efficient and effective? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...

Over the next two weeks, I'll be publishing a series of four big posts about Meta's role in the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar. Part I is up now, along with a little meta-post with notes on terminology and sources. erinkissane.com/meta-in-myan... erinkissane.com/meta-meta

This is pretty interesting! All scientists I speak with tend to agree that publishing is out of whack. As a trainee I often just assume my experience is just n = 1 but it seems like there’s a massive increase in publishing happening with no increase in scientists with PhDs

This is an article trying to scare people for clicks. Obviously it worked for me but the data come from a real research paper arguing that in ~250 million years~ the earth will be uninhabitable www.nature.com/articles/s41... Guess what? By 2300 with +12°C the authors think we’ll be fine

This is a bad use of data for a figure. If your equations are the same but inverted then you don’t actually have two datasets
