After @annaporyvai.bsky.social tried purifying her reaction product using preparative thin-layer chromatography (prep-TLC), her silica plate ended up looking like an impressionist’s attempt at painting daybreak. Read more: cen.acs.org/analytical-c... #CENChemPics #chemsky 🧪

A large white rectangular sheet of silica has a blotchy, dark-purple streak running along the bottom. From that streak emanate a series of bands of pastel pinks and oranges that have traveled up the sheet.

I heard Prof. Jen Heemstra speak at EPFL, and her honesty about the real challenges of academia stayed with me. It pushed me to grow beyond technical skills. Since then, I’ve taken courses on self-leadership, management, conflict mitigation, etc.

First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that. This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now. jenheemstra.com/book

Tento týden jsme v nadaci přivítali milou návštěvu – naši stipendistku Annu Poryvai. Do Česka zavítala až ze švýcarské École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, kam v roce 2022 vyjela na zahraniční stáž s podporou Nadace Experientia a kde nyní působí. 🇨🇭 Děkujeme za příjemné letní setkání! 🍀

This quiet green spot on campus became our favorite place this year — one workshop, lots of conversations, and a few big decisions. It’s incredible what fresh air and supportive people can do. Every university should have a space like this. #postdoc #research #mindfulness #support
