Absolutely NO on Prop 38

No no no no no. Hell No on 38.

Prop 38 is a boondoggle ... calmatters.org/politics/ele...

From @courageca.bsky.social www.progressivevotersguide.com/california VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION 38 "VOTING NO will stop two billionaires from steering $4.2 billion in state funds to their own research institute that is not currently operational and lacks an institutional research track record."

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Random dumb thing: RSC removed the ability to log in to their manuscripts using ORCID, but you can use Web Of Science, I don't remember my WoS details, but guess what... WoS will let me log in using ORCID so... RSC <click>, WoS <click>, ORCID (log in) which takes me back to RSC which now logs in 🤦

My God, he was already one of my favourite authors - brilliant!

Do you have unmet CryoEM needs? Do you dream of beautiful rotating protein structures. UNC's CryoEM core could be the solution to your problems! www.med.unc.edu/cryo-em/ Contact Josh Strauss joshua_strauss@med.unc.edu to hear about the cutting edge resources availble here! Please share!

This is the best idea ever and if an NIH or NSF proposal ever landed on my desk proposing it, I would brow beat every other panelist into funding it!

Stopped in to get boba and one of the workers was wearing a Texas shirt, I started chatting with her and told her I was an alum… y’all, she’s never been to Texas, knew nothing about the school and welp, I am convinced her choice to wear that jinxed us today #TotallyReasonableTakes

preordered my copy! In addition to Debbie being one of the absolute best and most generous long time members of the chemtwitter (RIP) and now chemsky communities, she is also a phenomenal spectroscopist. Even if she weren’t both those things, this just looks like a great read! Order yours today!

ok it's question (confession) time for US drivers only(?). What, to you, does "When Children Are Present" mean on a road / speed sign? I admit I am never quite sure... is it only 25 mph if I can *see* children or is it a blanket *during regular school hours* as I assume children are at school?

...and another 1.5 data sets tonight (the 0.5 comes from knowing when a structure is beyond my skill to rescue!)... closer to submission than I was 24 h ago!

ok, ok, what the hell is happening at MSU Chemistry? Apparently I am monumentally out of the loop!

Worked up two crystal data sets this evening to publication ready cifs - briefly felt like a real scientist for a hot minute

This is absolutely a scam and everyone should vote NO on prop 38!

This is fantastic news! @songlin1.bsky.social is hugely deserving, a fantastic chemist and a lovely person

NIH folks... didn't R03's used by $200k for 2 years? It looks like it's limited to $50k direct costs per year now - but I'm seeing a bunch of R03s in Reporter that have the 'old' budget, did they get them in under the wire? With grad students support in the ~$70k p.a. that's a tight budget

Has a picture ever 'rural-ed' this hard? Also, why does the barn need glasses... if I imagine the barn without them... oh my God, it's Super Barn!

Canadian Journal of Chemistry is now inviting Tutorial article proposals. Tutorials offer a step-by-step introduction to topics of interest to ongoing #ChemistryResearch in Canada, helping make specialized knowledge accessible to non-experts. How to submit 🧪 https://ow.ly/r9a050ZOHQx #Chemistry

Me: TV used to be so much better when you couldn't stream all the episodes at once... Also Me: Ugh, why isn't it Sunday yet, I wanna watch #Lanterns now!

I think I've seen this crop up here and there... but man, I'm seeing a lot of "major revisions" (even some "reject") for things that when you read them are really minor revisions at best...

We are hiring a postdoc! #Chemsky Looking for an expert in instrumental analytical instrument maintenance...I mean chemistry, specifically LC-MS, HPLC, GC-MS. Method development expertise with new analytes, and natural product isolation/identification are good!

10/10 no notes

In case this hasn’t come up before… I hate ants

Perfection. No notes.

Does anyone else remember Harry and the Hendersons? #SaturdayThoughts

Yay Strontium and isotopes in general!

🚨 Postdoc opportunity! 🚨 I’m recruiting a postdoctoral scholar to join my group @ucmerced.bsky.social Also interested in folks with experience of ligand synthesis for f-element separation science. Applications due Oct. 1, so a fast turnaround! aprecruit.ucmerced.edu/JPF02226 Please share/repost! 🧪⚗️

Huh… very cool and I need to read this… also, would have been cooler to see it do olefin metathesis 😉 /s lovely chemistry from @shenvi.bsky.social

Ok… Sheep Detectives is actually pretty damn good.

Now Tim Curry? Dammit Janet

what the hell!?

I’m pretty sure the ACS (as chemists experience it), is a convenient distraction from the publishing arm of the process. If someone would like to disabuse me of this motion, I’m all ears (not really, it’s Saturday)

In no small part my reaction to this was that Rich McCormick gave a clear lucid and reasonable response. Am I gonna be disappointed if I google this guy and find lots of horrible stuff?
