Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

another relevant-yet-not Adams quote: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof." welp sorry John this guy ain't it

those of us who are in disaster-prone places should* prepare for this if you can *SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PREPARE FOR THIS BUT NOW WE LIVE IN A HORRIFIC PREVENTABLE MESS sorry I'm calmer now

Huge opportunity for postdocs gearing up for an academic job search, hosted by @stanford-chemh.bsky.social @berkeleymcb.bsky.social and UCSF!

This reminds me of the metathesis dance. I asked students to do this. Totally voluntary! @barneygrubbs.bsky.social Bluesky isn't good for finding people. Please ReSkeet to Katy and Brendan. Why they don't top my @ list? There are some things that the other site did well. Until Dork Maga tookover

this is going to make the "time to degree" numbers really wonky in 2027

now coming up with a weird Loki spinoff with the Parry the Parafilm as the villain as opposed to Miss Minutes

Hey #chemsky and #science Bleeps (?)...the Chemscrapes project page has been updated to include a free download of a massive poster size parafilm PSA poster for your lab www.chemscrapes.net/s-projects-s... While you're there, check out other ChemScrapes projects. Shares appreciated :)

Our College of Veterinary Medicine's Department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences is searching for a (full time, state funded) Research Scientist with a focus on LC-MS metabolomics. For more info or to apply: explore.msujobs.msstate.edu/en-us/job/50... #ChemJobs #ChemSky #TeamMassSpec 🧪 🥽

I would like to teach a one-credit class that's just "A Survey of Different Arrows in Chemistry". Would it be particularly useful? No. Would it be interesting to anyone other than me? Maybe not. But I would really really like to talk about that topic a whole bunch.

Lol

Students who want to go to college should not not NOT take calculus in high school. They should take a year-long course called something like "What the fuck is a logarithm?" Sincerely, An Introductory College Chemistry Instructor

A big shout out to @cwpstr.bsky.social for this great article in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social. Mental health is something we talk way too little about in academia. I especially like how this article addresses the MH of academics themselves, as this is often overlooked. Must read! #ozchem #chemsky

Blunt letter to the editor on ACS: "If ACS won’t stand up now, it should stand down." cen.acs.org/business/Rea... #chemsky 🧪⚗️

great thread, worth the clicks

TIL about a person I gave a ride back to his hotel in 2023 or 2024

man they *really* hate them

Trump's Jan EO, now a proposed OPM rule, makes federal workers who don't advance presidential policies easier to fire. My latest in @cenmag.bsky.social cen.acs.org/policy/US-ru... (edited bc apparently I can't spell)

Derek: "The future looks bright, but (as has to be said under the current conditions) only if we have the foresight and wisdom to reach for it."

The man, the legend; Paul Schaap, demonstrating the synthesis of dioxetane derivatives that trigger bright #chemiluminescence when activated. #wsuchemistry #ChemSky

I am glad that this profile written by Luc Rinaldi for Toronto Life Magazine is out. It is about what I am doing and where I am going. Thanks to Luc for the time he took to write this piece. #chemsky #compchemsky

Anyone knows of any opensource/free tool for conformer generation faster than rdkit? And any more accurate? Or BOTH?!?!?! 🥲 #compchem #chemsky #sbdd

Flagship Pioneering has unveiled a new start-up that aims to find, then drug, targets that are specific to different states of diseases. The company, Etiome, will begin with metabolic, neurodegenerative, and inflammatory illnesses. #chemsky #biosky @cenmag.bsky.social cen.acs.org/business/sta...

Some Main Group Magic in @science.org today as gallium and boron team up to break down silicones into monomer, from VIncent Monteil, Jean Raynaud and co-workers www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... chemsky 🧪

Ever had to wear an ill-fitting lab coat? I have! It's a common experience that's uncomfortable at best, and dangerous at worst. Read more about lab coats and the companies rethinking their designs at @cenmag.bsky.social: cen.acs.org/safety/lab-s... #ChemSky #Science

Continuing the recent good news for the group: NSF CAREER was awarded this week! Super stoked to continue our explorations and take this research to the next level. More exciting Zr chemistry to come! #chemsky

too late buddy, your rep will stick forever

The UChicago Department of Chemistry is thrilled to welcome Dr. Alex Cusumano to its faculty. His expertise in synthetic organic, organometallic, and computational chemistry will be a valuable asset to our research and educational initiatives. shorturl.at/hqRZK
