Fantastic to see one of my chemical heroes, Richard Robson, winning the Nobel Prize for coordination frameworks (MOFs), together with Kitagawa and Yaghi. #ozchem

Calling all synthetic chemists! We are looking for a new colleague at York University in Toronto 🇨🇦 for a 3 year limited term position as Assistant Professor (Teaching stream) in synthetic chemistry.

I even thought the term “shigemi tube” referred to the flat bottom ones for fixed volume measurements…

If anyone has any good advice on formatting a scientific resume/CV for Industry vs Academia that would be great.

Asking for a friend.

We’ve also been thinking about this a lot in recent years. Even “well mixed” solutions are really very heterogeneous, even though we synthetic chemists don’t like to admit it, and it can change reaction outcomes…. #ChemSky

Basically banned now :(

It upsets me greatly because I love an em dash and now they just scream “I didn’t actually write this”!

Scaling up like this takes attention to every little detail, and a willingness to question your typical assumptions. Not everyone is capable of it!

Yes! The media rang me up about it the other day. More shit balls!

We are hiring! New opening for a W2 Professor in "experimental inorganic chemistry" @unibonn.bsky.social
Deadline Oct. 10 t.co/EqMLA0fCuC

A huge team of people on this one, but almost everything was done by PhD student Man Him Chak. Congrats Him!

Above a threshold concentration, the assembly time seems independent of concentration, with the ratio of isomers being key, and adding co-surfactants can tune this assembly time. This was a fun but often confusing system to work with!

We just published a photoswitchable amphiphile that abruptly assembles into ellipsoids over 1h after the light is switched off! #ozchem #ChemSky

Love this story about the absurdity of citation metrics in @science.org : www.science.org/content/arti...

Everybody knows that LLMs suck in most science-related stuff. But maybe the are good in something that is Large (6000 entries) and Language (mostly)? Because they are Large Language Models.

Let's try few of them on mineral names, with great detailed databases (created by humans).

This is an excellent illustration of how useless the "Impact Factor" metric is.

The most influential multidisciplinary chem journals are JACS and Angewandte. They did not make the list.

In this short ad hoc 🧵 I will analyze in real time what made the list and why. I have a bad feeling about this.

Today was Dr Isis Middleton's last day with us! It's been a lot of fun working with Isis for the past 2 years and she's done a fantastic job on a wide range of crazy projects. Wishing her all the best for her next adventures! #ozchem

Come be my colleague! Hope College Chemistry is hiring a tenure-track prof in General & Inorganic Chem starting Fall 2026. Great undergrad research culture, strong support, and a fantastic community. Apply by Sept 20: hope.edu/jobs #ChemJobs #facultyjobs #academicsky
