early-career academics, if you don't have a website, make yourself one. yes it's annoying but just do it it can be plain text on a white background, or google sites, or even a free Wix one with ads. nobody cares we just need to be able to look you up, quickly, bc there's like 100 other apps here

One week today, let's see if I (kinda) go 2 for 2 on #chemnobel...
A screenshot of my Bluesky post about the ChemNobel last year, that reads: 

#NobelPrize week starts tomorrow & the #chemnobel is Wednesday… used to be so much Nobel chat on Tw*tter, but that is not replicated here, alas. Anyway, for the record, I think MOFs will win at some point (maybe this year maybe not). Balasubramanian & Klenerman a good bet for next-gen sequencing too

#ChemSky Really nice #OPRDasap here from Gilead on the key indazole fragment from Lenacapavir - lots of optimization and key reaction safety testing (51% hydrazine hydrate - yikes) And my fav alkylating agent - trifluoroethyl triflate! Even an @alexgoldberg.ca sighting!
