Have any chemistry grad students been affected by the NSF MPS-Ascend fellowship being archived? #ChemSky

Screenshot of NSF webpage for the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowships showing it's been archived.

Hi #ChemSky! @cenmag.bsky.social and I want to learn how the chemistry community might be affected by any immigration policies currently being proposed for 2025. If you might be impacted and can give any insight, I'd really appreciate if you could fill out this form: forms.office.com/r/87NQhFKrFh

Wow, this seems so hard to find! I zoomed in and increased my brightness but I don’t think I could ever spot this.

WHY do some places no longer serve fries with a burger? Like you have to pay an additional $3 to “upgrade” for fries? 🙄

Beyond the job description when it should be the bare minimum!! It’s hard, but you are clearly doing amazing and I love that for you 🥰🙂

Sad that so many people think that it’s *not* part of the job. 🙄

Maybe their first post is a sign that it’s in the works 😬.

Good news, Altmetric has now started watching BlueSky for mentions of publications. And by the way, provides an easy comparison between this and the old site for a recent preprint of mine which I posted simultaneousl at both. Numbers speak by themselves !

Love this!! I see LSPR and automatically think of SERS. Have you thought of an application for these nanoparticles?

Beza Tuga @bezatuga.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Thanks for making this! I’d love to be added along with @clh731.bsky.social and @hayneschemlab.bsky.social!

Hey #chemsky, meet our new first year, Yu (Cheryl) Chen, who has a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Guangdong University and a master’s degree in chemical engineering from Northeastern University! Her thesis work will focus on developing silica nanoparticles for agriculture! #nanosky

When you say works in, do you mean already published work? I know someone, but the work is in early stages and more on the applied side of using chirality (and not exactly proteins, but can be translated to it).

So @altmetric.com is now tracking on @bsky.app too! Flagging for #Chemsky

A screengrab of a paper being tracked on Altmetric.com; the Altmetric donut score is 89 and the title of the paper is 'Photocatalytic low-temperature defluorination of PFASs'. The 'Bluesky' source tab is the one highlighted showing one post that mentions the paper in question.

Sometimes I go to random seminars (v out of my field) just to see #chemsky people IRL.

S/o to our first follower (maybe our most important one)! We are excited to be on Bluesky to share our science and outreach with the #chemsky and #nanosky communities! Follow for more updates!

I’ve always been curious… is the ranking a requirement? And how do people decide this??

Do you remember that random computational paper you used to cite a lot? You should do something with that 😂 “Palestka et al” (I’m pretty sure that’s the wrong spelling)

Beza Tuga @bezatuga.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Same here! I’m excited to engage with #chemtwitter again :)
