Our coordinated #research center (CRC) #ChemPrint funded by @dfg.de at @fau.de and @helmholtz.de is running! Project start: Oct. 1; 1st general assembly: Oct. 6, decision-making structure elected. Below: the team at this early stage. Stay tuned for exciting results! www.sfb1719.research.fau.eu

Scientists would say that the signal is beyond five sigma: #immigration, #diversity, #exchange for the greatest benefit to mankind.

Published online (early view) today, presented to the #European COST Action 'RenewPV' crowd in Julien's master class tomorrow! Still financed in part at @fau.de by our @erc.europa.eu project 'Solacylin'.

Transparent extremly thin absorber #solar cells enable super systematic ultrafast transient abs. #spectroscopy investigation of photoinduced dynamics in #semiconductors -- w/ @mitchemistry.bsky.social alum Liz Young at Lehigh! #chemsky #materialsky advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Big scare & spectacular save in #lab at CTFM this week: mislabeled oxygen & nitrogen lines caused diethylzinc fire in a glovebox. Perfect reaction by the team achieved containment inside the box, quick cleanup enables the start of rebuild <48 hr later! Amazing #teamwork! #labels #safety #chemsky

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

Et voila! Case proven. #solar

So as an oversimplified summary: -- researchers share their own research results on Bluesky; -- anti-vaxxers retweet each other's "research" on X. www.altmetric.com/blog/bluesky... #research #chemsky #socialmedia

Single #ALDep cycle! Single Pt atoms! #Catalysis! Supraparticles! All this and more in Valentin's (and Philipp Groppe's) paper with our colleagues Susanne Wintzheimer and Karl Mandel in @fau.de's #materials #chemistry! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... www.chemistry.nat.fau.eu/2025/03/27/g... #chemsky

Dear fellow #scientists in the USA affected by the war against #facts, #science, & #DEI, why not apply for an #ERC grant to continue your #research in #Europe, where you & students will be safe & your contribution appreciated? #chemsky #diversity #equity #inclusion www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Congrats to our colleague Karl Mandel at @fau.de #chemistry on his well-deserved promotion to Full Prof!!

Interesting #Assistant #Professor position currently available at Università degli studi Roma Tre, which sounds like an excellent opportunity for early-career investigators in the #ALDep and #thin #films #materials #chemistry fields! #chemjobs #chemsky #jobs stm.uniroma3.it/sunrise/

Our department #chemistry & pharmacy at @fau.de now has a new section! FAU's #materials chemistry consists of the groups @ctfm-lab.bsky.social (Julien Bachmann, Ryan Crisp) and supraparticle #research (Karl Mandel). Ready to rock combining particles & coatings! www.chemie.nat.fau.de/forschung/be...

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay. They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence! Mustard on the [Be][At] bro. Happy Black History Month!

Open postdoctoral and doctoral research positions advertized at SAS IEE in Bratislava by our colleague Karol Frohlich: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/312855 euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/312859 Highly recommended! #chemjobs #chemsky #battery #research #electrochemistry

A message that resonates beyond the ad and beyond sports, an inspiration well suited for the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! #women in #stem #chemsky

Is the @acs.org not a scientific organization -- run by its members, mandated by them to lobby for the long-term interests of a scientific and industrial field, independent of political whims?? #chemsky #chemistry #diversity

'In Germany in the 1930s, scientific institutions and societies failed at every level to offer any significant resistance to Nazism,' writes @philipcball.bsky.social. 'Donald Trump’s United States is not Hitler’s Germany. But the point is surely to learn from it anyway.'

So not only there is a coup in what used to be the world's showcase #democracy, but no one even tries to fight for the rights of #science and #scientists, not even universities or funding agencies and foundations, public or private? What can we do in Europe to support our US colleagues?

Kimia Hashemizadeh @kimiaha.bsky.social, MSc student at @fau.de @ctfm-lab.bsky.social, has won the 2nd prize at the Advanced Materials & Processes poster presentation with her work on atomic-layer additive manufacturing! Congratulations -- we are very proud of you, Kimia! #chemsky #ALDep #3Dprint

As part of the #Chips JU Pilot Line NanoIC, Tyndall National Institute has a number of postdoc and Research Fellow positions open, in addition to 5 summer fellowship undergraduate positions for 2025. Details here: www.linkedin.com/posts/nolanm...

#Inclusion is central to #chemistry, the central science! It is a #moral imperative as well as a management decision. #Diversity renders a #team more #creative and more #successful. People who feel supported and valued as they are will give their best at #work and in #research. #equity #chemsky

I love stupid science jokes. #medsky #chemsky #science

Thrilled by the innovation at FAU! During Cup with the President, I visited Prof. Siow Woon Ng’s lab. Her PhD students showcased groundbreaking projects from atomically precise layers to 3D printing. FAU’s breadth in research and teaching is remarkable, and I’m proud of our brilliant minds! @fau.de
