We are delighted to announce that Professor Christopher Chang @christhechang.bsky.social has won the 2025 Chemical Science Lectureship! rsc.li/chemsci-lectu... Chris will deliver his Lectureship at the 2025 #ChemSciSymposium on 18-19 November in London, UK: rsc.li/chemscisymp2025#ChemSciSymposium #ChemSky #🧪

I really enjoyed working on this themed collection behind the scenes in the Editorial Office, since my actual research background is #bioinorganic chemistry. It's a great representation of the current state of the art of the discipline!

Announcing the joint Spotlight Collection on Bioinorganic Chemistry between @chemicalscience.rsc.org and @daltontrans.rsc.org, available to read now! 🧪 Guest Edited by Abhishek Dey, Serena Debeer, and Mi Hee Lim. Read the collection: rsc.li/bioinorganic-...

Ferredoxin 🤝 Hydrogenase, an on-and-off relationship? WE CERTAINLY THINK SO‼️ @chemicalscience.rsc.org doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...

Interesting paper here in @chemicalscience.rsc.org. I was a first generation UG, as defined here. I spectacularly failed my first year & almost got kicked out. Recognise the points about failing to adapt. After 37 years, this can still influence my outlook, not always productively. #chemsky

Very interesting study! I’m also a first generation PhD and graduate, but I fortunately had the parents support and the ability to build networks and connections. Raising awareness about the existing barriers is a great start. #chemsky #education #firstgen

This study is an interesting attempt to quantify the effect of being first in your family to go to college on your success in chemistry. I felt some of this as a grad student. I wonder if the same effect is seen in the other science? 🧪

We want everyone in the chemical sciences community to feel welcome, supported and valued, so we're sad to see some people seize on yesterday's supreme court ruling with anti-trans messages. Today, we're highlighting our resources on allyship for trans colleagues and friends ➡ rsc.li/4j6lojs

We are excited to announce this year’s Chemical Science symposium, on the topic of imaging, biosensing and diagnostics! Alongside celebrating 15 years of the journal, the winner of our first Lectureship will be presenting their research! Find out more: rsc.li/chemscisymp2025 #ChemSky 🧪

I wish I had known about editorial roles like this as a graduate student, when I was thinking about what I wanted to do after my PhD! Use your science knowledge from the other side of the editor's desk. PIs - point out this great opportunity to your grad students!

RSC Americas is hiring! Applications are accepted until 18 March for the Content Development Editor role based in Washington DC. This is an excellent opportunity to join an internationally renowned science organization on a great team supporting research and researchers in North America #chemsky

I like our 15th anniversary community collection a lot - it's about recognising the contributions of people who have played key roles in our journal as Editors, reviewers, and authors! New papers will be added all year during our 15th anniversary. The first papers are already out! #ChemSky

I feel it's important to let #chemsky know that if you, a chemist, suddenly gain many new RSC journal followers over the next few days, it's not bots, it's just that the journal editors managing our accounts (myself included) are REALLY excited to finally be here 😅

Lots of RSC journals popping up on Bluesky (with proper domain names - well done!) including @chemicalscience.rsc.org; flagging for #Chemsky

Exciting news for #chemsky - you can now follow all of your favourite @rsc.org journals on Bluesky! 🥳🧪⚗ go.bsky.app/QAaTTZ3
