Phage people - does anyone have a lambda phage with a deletion/mutation in the integrase gene (unable to lysogenize)? If so, can you please share it with us to help us test a cool hypothesis? Thanks! Please RT. 🦠🙏

There’s a chemsky joke to be made about the astrobiology news, revolving around sending the grad student 120 light-years away to run the Swern reaction where no one else can smell it

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

Big ups to ACS for providing complimentary childcare at #ACSFall2025. Attending conferences is enough logistical work as-is. Not having worry about week-long arrangements for kiddos makes a huge difference, especially to early-career folks who are more likely to have young kids.

Absolutely. Pancreatic cancer has taken my family, friends, and colleagues, and now when we have hope for effective treatments support is being pulled?!?! The scientists working in this field are incredibly passionate about their work and they will get us to the finish line if we support them.

Hey #chemsky and beyond, with all that is going on, I am curious what expensive, high margin molecules we could provide to the community for free. What things do you use all the time, cost way too much, and would make a difference? Alexa Fluor 488 NHS? Other dyes? Other molecule?

Studies show that funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) contributed to 354 of 356 drugs (99.4%) approved by the FDA from 2010 to 2019. Recklessly slashing NIH funding will mean that patients will be waiting much longer for life-saving treatments.

Fewer teachers signed up for Skype a Scientist this February than the last few Februarys. Could be lots of reasons for that, but ugh. Still bums me out. It's my responsibility to make sure we get people connected with science but teacher outreach is VERY hard. Once again I need to get creative.
