Great work from @JunliangZhang3 @BarbsFarias (defending her thesis in 2 weeks!) @ihor_kulai and collaborators in the Schubert group, IMRCP @CNRS_Toulouse and the @ILLGrenoble, supported by a joint @AgenceRecherche-DFG project.

@AnaisPittoBarry I'm so sorry for your loss Anais

Nicolas, you've been my rock for almost 20 years, and I will now need to learn to live without you. Rest in peace

@frestagn @AnaisPittoBarry Try Thierry Tassaing at ISM in Bordeaux, Jean-Daniel Marty at IMRCP Toulouse or maybe Brice Calvignac in Angers?

Nice day at LCC for the PhD defence of Sasha!

Position available at the LCPO for an engineer (eg Masters level) to help establish an autonomous polymer synthesis platform. Postdoc offer to follow... Emploi.cnrs.fr/offres/ODD/UMR…

Great birthday dodecicosahedron. 12 decagrams, 20 hexagons, 60 vertices.

Mon premier @J_A_C_S 🥳 Quand une intuition donne lieu à des résultats hyper prometteurs Une superbe collab entre 2 équipes du @LCPO_Bordeaux et en particulier @FloLeGoupil et la team NIPU du @LCPO_PolyGreen pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

@fxcoudert AI could write the proposals too, and simulate the results. No need for researchers at all - think of the savings!

@EdwigeHelmer @frestagn @Olive_Free @fannybonnetumet @fxcoudert Je pense que c'est utile - pour le jury de pouvoir poser des questions au candidat, et pour le candidat d'avoir une idée si leur dossier a été compris par le jury. Si c'était seulement sur dossier, la sélection serait encore moins transparente qu'elle ne l'est actuellement.

I have 6 unfinished manuscripts that I'm willing to shred in order to combat overproduction of science and the glut of unread literature - if the govt will compensate me... theguardian.com/world/2023/feb…

@gmqlrd Bon courage !

Les dossiers de candidature à rapporter pour les concours CNRS (désolé pour les arbres mais j'aime bien lire ces choses la sur papier - je n'ai pas imprimé à ce stade les pièces purement administratives, copies de diplôme etc ni les articles). Bouteille pour l'échelle #auboulot

@MuraSimona I'm so glad to hear that! Stay strong! 💪

Move fast and break things

❗Le LCPO recrute un maître/une maîtresse de Conférence❗ 🧪 Rejoignez nous pour former les techniciens, ingénieurs et chercheurs de demain, et pour relever les nouveaux défis de la science des polymères ⏳ Candidature via l'application GALAXIE, du 23 février 2023 au 30 mars 2023

Did you know that copper together with a bit of oxygen can make a super ATRP catalyst? Kostas @kostaspark figured it out: Oxygen-Enhanced Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization through the Formation of a Copper Superoxido Complex @AnastasakiLab @J_A_C_S pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

@MuraSimona Super nouvelle! Je croise les doigts pour les autres tests

@MuraSimona Courage Simona 💪

@schmidtim All of them

What meal is this?

@Olive_Free @AnneBaillot I suspect that in this case, correlation =/= causation

@AnneBaillot Also the gain of H correlated to the number N of flights per year is very marginal since it's only its logarithm that grows with N, or differently said, it requires an exponentially increasing N if one would rely only on presenting their results worldwide to boost their H Factor!

This confirms (if that ever was needed) that DORA is the way to go in research assessment! Assessing research via performance indexes feeds the wheel of excessive growth and contributes to burning the planet down. sfdora.org/read/
