Very confused to see the phrase "educationally viable" used to describe the subject I love. It's been a rough couple of months behind the scenes here at @HullChemistry and given that this is now in the public domain - expect more opinions. Please do RT. bbc.com/news/articles/…

We have a fully funded PhD position open in low oxidn state group 2 chem, and its appln to sustainable organic synthesis. Details available at tinyurl.com/35tas3uw. Please consider the candidate criteria before applying. Re-posts greatly appreciated. #ozchem @Monash_Science

Now out as a #preprint @ChemRxiv our take on the potential of #AlDIPY aluminum dipyrrins as photosensitizers 🔦. Lots of synthesis ⚗️, structures 🩻and photophysics . Great work by @zoi_melissari 😀chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

The University of Hull says their chemistry department is ‘no longer financially or educationally sustainable’. chemistryworld.com/news/universit…

The stabilization of bromenium ions in macrocyclic halogen bond complexes has been reported in @angew_chem. The use of a macrocyclic ligand enabled the isolation of CSD entry XUDNUJ, a bench-stable ‘Br+ NO3-’ species. 🔗 ccdc-info.com/4fN4Z1E #FeaturedStructureFriday

Beautifully written, some things don't change (but quality of leadership is one of them)

BREAKING: the 2024 Noble Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to E. F. Tom for the synthesis of a cubane using chemicals from a hardware store. In a shed. This is a huge win for brown chemistry, which will now replace green chemistry as the best way to pad grant applications.

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

They aren't quitting science, they're quitting academia.

Great timing given the calamities at @UniOfHull @HullChemistry that are unfolding before our very eyes

Discussion on #r4today about 'value' of uni. Each week, our students get 8-10 lectures from world-leading scientists, 2 small-group support sessions, 8 hours practical teaching in state-of-the-art labs, on-call personal supervisor, pastoral support services, uni facilities etc.

We had an excellent time yesterday at the @UKPETChemistry conference in Hull! Many thanks to @Allott_Lab and the other organisers and speakers for a wonderful day of PET radiochemistry and congratulations to our own @EllaOgilvy, Seb and Joe for their presentations! ☢️🧪

Hello @UniOfHull and @HullChemistry! Welcome to #UKPETCHEM24. Thanks @Allott_Lab for all your hard work organising the conference. #PETChemistry @Asynt #realtimechem

Imane Khelif was assigned female at birth. She’s spoken about being initially banned from boxing by her dad who said it wasn’t for girls. The attacks on her show that transphobia doesn’t only hurt trans people, but also other women who don’t fit conventional ideas of femininity.
