I hope @mark-carney.bsky.social is paying attention. For years, successive governments have refused to properly fund research & education. Creating & funding bespoke programs don't work. Consistent funding for basic research is the best way forward. Every report has said so! Please fund research.

I have a question for #chemsky and #chemchat: I often see published PXRD patterns which do not fit to the theoretical pattern of a new structure. If the diffraction data don't support the structure, what does that say about the rest of the characterization?
