I enjoyed this Radiolab episode. Some interesting chemistry. #chemsky #chemchat 🧪

I could be cynical and suppose this is just theater, but there are people who are this good. Wish I were one of them.

With the sh!++y administration discouraging grad students/post docs from other countries, does this open up post doc positions for old fogies like me? Or does reduction of funding of science in general just offset that? 🧪 #chemsky #chemchat

For any youngsters who don’t know this. A classic. His memory and enunciation are amazing. 🧪 #chemsky #chemchat

This experiment is abhorrent.

Does anyone know more detail on this exposure? E.g., how it happened, how much was splashed onto the student? #chemsky #chemchat 🧪

As someone who makes/purifies exclusively l*beled compounds, this is pretty freaky.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

There's A LOT of ways the Trump admin is currently attacking & decimating American science. Here's a breakdown of what they are doing, and what you can do about it. 🧵

A bit ago I couldn’t remember the word “thermometer.” Could only say “temperature probe.” Sheesh. 🧪 #chemsky #chemchat

I just did one of our endless online “learnings” and I *think* it was about *how to do* the learnings. I think? 🧪 #chemsky

Bike ride is better and beer is tastier when you’ve played hooky from work to do it.

Hard to avoid feeling much of this.

Dolly Parton is credited in at least 37 research papers on the COVID vaccine, including the first phase I trial results published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2020.

Let’s talk about Medicare for All. What would it mean for the individual American? ⬇ The day you’re born you get a card that gives you health insurance with no premium, co-pay, or deductible. Doesn’t matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26 or 65, get married or divorced — it's there for you.

Apple: ~$2.2 billion Nike: $986 million FedEx: ~$800 million Amazon: $640 million General Motors: $500 million Giant corporations are raking in millions in tariff refunds and getting even richer. But remember: corporations passed tariff costs on to you. Where's YOUR refund?

1. A transaminase can catalyze the reverse of a reaction catalyzed by a dehydrogenase. 2. Yet, either enzyme could be used to make Phe. Are both statements correct? If so, is it easier to use a transaminase or a dehydrogenase? (New w/enzymes here.) Thanks for any help/clarification! 🧪 #chemsky

Looking for anyone who has done this as a large scale (>10 g) preparation of L-Glutamine. I can't get it to work well. (Yes I've scoured the literature and have considered the inhibitory feedback mechanisms and have varied all the variables I can, but continue to get poor yields.) #chemsky 🧪

When I was a kid and toothpaste tubes were metal (yes they were youngins!), we had little devices to scroll them up to get all the toothpaste out. Need that now. 🧪 #chemsky

This dude appears to know his stuff.

I got one! Coworker made it and we dig it. Our new lab mascot. Believe I first saw this from bsky.app/profile/simo.... 🧪 #chemsky

Using a balloon feels old school and fun. 🧪 #chemsky

In 2 days, a scientist wrote a whole paper and it was accepted. That was back in 2020. By now I assume you just feed in some data and AI converts it to a paper and minutes later it’s accepted by AI editors. 🧪

If there exists a 6-month to 1-year PhD level position in synthetic organic chemistry in the Seattle area, please let me know! (Yeah I know the odds are low.) Why this picture? I don’t know - but I can do chemistry! 🧪 #chemsky

I kind of like getting a whiff, just a whiff, of ammonia. I don’t hate the smell in small doses. It makes me feel clean, or awake, or something. 🧪 #chemsky

In case you were wondering what’s in here. 🧪 #chemsky
