Models like this help make the invisible tangible and easier to understand. On International Women’s Day, it’s also a reminder that women are not just represented in science, they are actively building it. #internationalwomensday❤️ #WomenInScience #internationalwomensday #womeninstem

An unrelenting Everglades advocate, a clever wartime spider farmer, and a resourceful Peruvian potato hunter are among the cast of real-life science figures whose stories are told in the titles in this year’s children’s book roundup. 📕 Check out the reviews: https://scim.ag/47unHJh

A chemistry researcher has had 35 of his papers retracted within 24 months for a variety of reasons, including fundamental errors in chemical analyses, compromised peer review, image-related problems, and citation manipulation. cen.acs.org/research-int... #chemsky 🧪

As part of a special section on science books for young readers, I review 'Measuring Up' by Jenny Lacika & Anna Bron. They explain the real tale of Oliver Smoot and the unconventional unit named after him. 🧪⚛️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It has been a while since my last #FluorescenceFriday, but some things in the lab never lose their magic. 👩🏻‍🔬 #chemistryfriday #LabLife #WomenInScience

I’m happy to share our new ACS Nano paper, Making Room at the Nanoscale.👩🏻‍🔬 It reflects both scientific curiosity and the importance of making the invisible visible.🔬 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #ACSNano #Nanoscience #Nanotechnology #Nanomaterials #MaterialsScience #Chemistry @pubs.acs.org

Ever wondered what a 50 nm #nanoparticle really looks like? I built a 20 cm styreofoam model to scale - complete with polymers, dyes, peptides, and even a 1 nm² marker to show just how much room we have at the nanoscale! 🧬✨ Big science - tiny #SciArt #scicomm #scicom #womeninscience

Even after many years in the lab, @carinacrucho.bsky.social still loves to find beauty in small things. Case in point: these starburst-like crystals she recently photographed glowing with bright orange fluorescence under an ultraviolet lamp. Read more: cen.acs.org/materials/na... #CENChemPics
