@L_Howes @mbeisen Do they count as unread if you delete them without reading? Or only if you let them linger? I'm between B5 and C5.

@mbeisen Somewhere around A4 but only because someone shared this earlier and it shamed me into deleting all my unreads and closing my work laptop already.

what is your personality type?

I'm trying to find the Vicky G who started this petition about allowing chemistry students at Oxford to use periodic tables in their exams. If you know (or are) this person please contact me at c_arnaud@acs.org. change.org/p/give-chemist…

@DrRubidium @AmericanU Congrats on the new job and welcome to the DMV!

@PepcoConnect I reported a streetlight outage on Nov. 1 and it still has not been fixed. The initial response said it would be addressed within 15 days. Whether you count that as actual days or business days, we're well past that point.

Did you ever wish you didn't have to pick a particular science to study? At these universities, students can major in integrated science. cen.acs.org/content/cen/ar… via @cenmag

The researchers were surprised to find a halogenase that prefers iodine rather than chlorine or bromine.

This enzyme was found in a virus that infects cyanobacteria. cen.acs.org/content/cen/ar… via @cenmag

We're honored to work with our talented #biotech editor @RLCscienceboss. Congrats, Ryan! Ryan received the award for the three stories in this thread.

I have to admit I wasn't expecting chemistry to play such a big role in a story that's nominally about conspiracy theories. n.pr/2SNPUSr

Yes to everything related to community colleges. But the idea that you can eliminate price but not eliminate cost also reminds me of open access publishing. ihenow.com/2EIhNpW

You just lost a pharmacy customer, @Walmart. You just more than doubled the price of my maintenance medication, and my insurance isn’t valid for maintenance meds anywhere except ExpressScripts online pharmacy.

It's always a pleasure to see chemists and chemistry honored in a Google Doodle.

In honor of IYPT, THE has published a set of essays from academics on the state of chemistry. The set is primarily, though not entirely, UK-centric. timeshighereducation.com/features/stron… via @timeshighered

One of the enzymes in the tropinone biosynthesis turns out to be an unusual polyketide synthase cen.acs.org/content/cen/ar… via @cenmag

I’m sad to hear that #LinguaFranca is shutting down. This blog is what got me to subscribe to @chronicle in the first place. It’s become a regular part of my morning routine. shar.es/aae0Xd

Why don't chemists like open #PeerReview?

Essay that argues against intellectual property--not patents and copyright, but the overarching term that tries to combine four distinct areas (patents, copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets) into one. aeon.co/essays/the-ide… via @aeonmag
