Impressed that my employer @TrentUni has banned flying for work inside the UK or to European Eurostar destinations. Trains are still stupid expensive though. Could somebody fix that?

First day back from maternity leave today, and I just quit all the tabs on my browser. It felt good. Tempted to delete the 1.5k unread emails too but I know I don't have the courage.

Omar from @BenjaminChemNTU group stayed with us a few years ago to learn about Computational Chemistry, and part of this work has just been published online @Orgmet_ACS. Read about triarylchlorostibonium cations with tunable Lewis acidity. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

I swear if I see one more ESI where the authors have too many 13C signals reported for a fluorinated molecule because they also haven't spotted the various J(C-F) couplings in their molecule, I might cry. Count the damn signals in your carbon NMR spectra. It's not hard!

As a hint, starting an email to a female academic with 'Dear Sir' tends to mean that the remainder of your email is not read with the positive and receptive attitude you might be hoping for

Could bismuth prove key to overcoming antibiotic resistance? Bi drugs are widely used but we know very little about their structures and modes of action – join us to explore these Cinderella molecules and unlock their potential to combat one of the world’s biggest health crises.

USS tell me I can choose between 'default' and 'ethical' lifestyle options for the investment builder. What does @USSpensions consider ethical? I can find no specific information anywhere but not sure I want to trust their judgement given recent antics...

Boring grumble of the day: I now have to manually click 'post' on every comment I make in Word. Twice as many clicks needed and I can't seem to learn so it keeps jerking me back to my 'unfinished' comment.
