Although the University of Reading has decided not to close its chemistry department, it is still ending recruitment for MSc and MChem programmes and only supporting research aligned with allied health professions, dentistry, nursing and pharmacy. www.chemistryworld.com/news/changes... #chemsky

Undergraduate research opportunities are incredibly valuable, both for the students and for the progress of the work. And having undergraduate research experience is a massive help for grad school admission. REU cancellations harm students’ preparedness & career prospects, and slow research progress

Account on X is now finally also deactivated. Besides trying to save our democracy, and avoiding wars, we need to build open communication platforms that cannot be easily used and bought.

Maybe with all that is going on in the states no one noticed, but in the Netherlands the university of Twente has fired 46 people from the chem department. One of them is Jeroen Cornelissen. A giant in the field #chemsky www.utoday.nl/news/75215/p...

My two most common editorial suggestions for manuscripts I handle are: (i) improve writing style by avoiding exaggerated terms, and (ii) ensure machine learning studies include a repository for reproducibility and reuse of models and data #EditorLife #ChemSky

In the light of the US dismantling DEI, if there are any US chemistry departments/companies who would like an online webinar on #LGBTSTEM issues, I can give one. I offer three variants (details in AltText). Happy to do at no personal charge, but will insist on a donation to local US LGBT+ charities.

Derek Lowe highlighting that journal publishers Sage, that aren't associated with the US government, are just casually obeying in advance to erase an entire group of people from other's research. COPE are going to be busy and Sage should be dragged for this given their attempts at censorship.

#CompChem consequence: be cautious with predictions of exotic properties based on "ideal" structures

This should be standard practice, especially when key methods and #CompChem codes are not in the main text, e.g. for Physical Review: "All references cited in the Supporting Materials should be listed in the reference section of the main text" journals.aps.org/authors/supp...

I am one of these NSF postdocs. NSF has frozen everyone’s access to their salaries and research stipends (that were already awarded) with no information about when they might be expected to be unfrozen. It still appears like we are expected to continue doing our work though.

We discovered an incommensurately modulated phase K₁₋ₓCrSe₂ — one of the rare cases where structural modulation enhances magnetic interactions. This has intriguing implications for low-dimensional magnets! Check out our paper in #JACS: doi.org/10.1021/jacs... #MaterialsChemistry #Magnetism #ChemSky
