Very good news for the Goodwin group! We've been awarded ERC StG to expand our f-element research in new directions. Big thanks to reviewers and panel, and the group - keep growing crystals! I can't thank the people that helped make this a reality enough! #ERCStG @ERC_Research

@lufthansa How many weeks are you allowed to ignore a request for compensation for? 7 weeks ago I submitted a feedback form, and have chased it up every 1-2 weeks since by email. No response at all. A colleague has already been compensated from same flight.

@Popher I hate it so very much since moving back. Every website. All the time. So annoying. 80% of the time there’s no choice anyway because the rules are sloppy enough that websites don’t have to have a “reject all” option front and centre.

@mynameis_rob 24 mg in 1 mL? I’ve got to say that doesn’t sound too bad. Am I just underestimating the scale of the hazard? (We don’t use DMF in my group generally, and not for this sort of thing)

“If somebody doesn't help me, I'm going to die," she recalls wailing, watching doctors and nurses pass her by. "Somebody said to me, 'I don't know what you expect me to do,'" she said. "'You're a healthy 21-year-old young female.'" This is exactly what happened to me at 24… 🧵

@DrBarryChem Unless you’ve got a value for then equilibrium molar constant for D2O, might be best using pH…

@zhorakovsky Right after the annoying “pick your university from the enormous list” thing.

I love RSC with passion. But can anyone finally explain to me the difference between "Log in" and "Sign in"?

@KUhokie42 Price. Surely? It’s over 3x the cost for me to use a cylinder of argon than a cylinder of nitrogen. I still use the former. But I wince doing so. If house nitrogen was good, then it’s free at the point of use. Even better.

@MarkStradiotto My concern would be the presence of oil residues from the pipe work. You would absolutely want to get some data on the gas coming out and potentially have some sort of pre-purification stage.

Chem-peeps: Do any of you have experience using house N2 to run catalyst enabled gloveboxes? How is appropriate delivery pressure to fire the solenoids achieved, etc? Bad idea? Good idea? 😂

@ndchiappini @tracyhle You could get a glass knife to take in. They’re not particularly sharp, they’re abrasive. Then wrap things in a plastic bag or (dried) paper towel and use a tool (forceps, spatula etc) to carefully knock off the top above the score.

I am beyond excited to share some more research with @MunzDominik! Our recent contribution on a Pb(II) substituted triplet carbene was accepted in @J_A_C_S. Read e.g. below how it teaches toluene some gymnastics! 🤸🥇 Thanks a lot(!!) to the whole team! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

@Andrew_Akbashev It’s in Alfred Nobel’s will: “His will stated that the prizes should be awarded to “those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.”  Source: nobelprize.org/frequently-ask…. Benefit to humanity is the criteria. Defining that is hard.

Nobel Prize is NOT about h-index or citations. It is about the emergence of big new fields. So many posts discuss Nobel awardees. And so many misunderstand the Nobel Prize. 📍 A bit of clarification from my side: 1⃣ Nobel Prize is NOT about how useful your work is. It’s about how useful it WILL BE. Science is not about real-world impact. It is about new knowledge, new understanding. It’s about nucleating new ways of thinking. Applications can come decades after the discovery. 2⃣ Nobel Prize is NOT about just doing risky research. Many of us take on risky projects. But most stay as niche studies that could have been done by others. It’s about doing what others are AFRAID to do. It's about looking like a reckless scientist. It’s about succeeding where others have failed (despite numerous attempts). 3⃣ Nobel Prize is NOT about a small study. It’s about nucleating a BIG research direction. It’s about "OMG, I didn't know it's even possible!" Yes, sometimes it takes decades to recognize a scientist. But in many cases, the prize was given to those who published the "nucleating studies" and pushed hard to grow the new field. 4⃣ Nobel Prize NOT about a lot of citations. Metrics doesn't matter. Forget this "Stanford top-2% ranking". Your peers' opinion is what really matters. Are you recognized by your peers SO MUCH that they want to see you as a Nobel Laureate? Do they see you as someone who created their field and made their research possible? Do they see you as their thought leader? ▫️ My HUGE congratulations to all Laureates. AI has changed science a lot. Those who made it possible deserve this recognition. #science #AcademicChatter

@Popher I was trying to make an “attorneys general” joke but then realised I don’t know what the “p” stands for. And apparently no-one really knows?

@Popher They respire at night, rather than photosynthesising. So they don’t stop doing stuff. Given that it would be inefficient do to “stuff” without benefit, I bet they do need some nighttime.
