“There is far too much power in the hands of professors in the German system,” says @leising.bsky.social.

My latest @nature.com story digs into efforts to tackle the entrenched structural heirarchy that enables academic bullies.

In the German system, the professor is
- supervisor
- employer
- examiner
of "their" PhD students.
Plus, they usually function as gatekeeper to the relevant scientific community.

What can possibly go wrong? 🤔

Also I never did one of these introductions, so: hello everyone! My name is Nick and I am an Adsorption Process Development Engineer at Svante Technologies. My research now is mostly the numerical optimization of various adsorptive processes with MOFs for CO2 capture.

The most recent #IAS webinar is now live on YouTube (I’m a bit late to posting it, if you caught it live). Excellent talk on O2 purification by Alireza Hejazi: www.youtube.com/live/5vHEBB7...

Here's a starter pack of engineers (and a few scientists) working in Clean Tech R&D. Let me know if you'd like to be included! #EnergySky #GreenSky #Science 🧪🔌💡

My followers have quintupled over night, what is going on? 😅📈

As promised, here comes our 2nd starter pack with chemists we follow, who are not professors.
This says nothing about the quality, but about the limits of starterpacks.
So for all new chemists coming over here🤗, and those who are already here for a while, enjoy the blue skies and get connected.⚗️

Hello BlueSky!

I'm a Product Manager @hidenisochema.bsky.social, a leading manufacturer of gas & vapor sorption instruments. In my spare time, amongst other things, I write articles like this, on gas #adsorption, #hydrogen storage & #reproducibility:

As I'm still starting with Bluesky, I thought that I would create a porous materials starter pack. Let me know if you want to be added or taken off this list.

@nfdi4chem.de created a starter pack with chemistry labs/people who might be worth to follow 🧑‍🔬 Some #porousmaterial and #adsorption people already included 🧽 #chemsky

If you are working in the field of gas adsorption, you may have come across reference materials (RM) that you can use to validate your experimental procedure ✅ We have just published the first binary adsorption data set on a NIST RM, CO2 and CH4 on zeolite RM8850 👨‍🔬

Fresh from the press 📰 In cooperation with @ruhr-uni-bochum.de, we at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College investigated the speed of sound in #hydrogen at pressures up to 1000 bar and developed a new equation of state optimised for flow metrology. 🤝 🔊 #MetHyInfra

Looking for promising 4th generation #refrigerants? ❄️ In an excellent collaboration between the University of Padua, CNR-ITC and Imperial College we studied the thermodynamic properties of R1243zf + R1234yf mixtures. Great work led by Giulia Lombardo 🤩

I was recently appointed to the Early Career Board of the Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data (JCED) 📗
Excited to assist in the development of the journal 🤩 Let us bring more adsorption data to the table 🔎📃
