I think the units are fine. I was initially gong to make a joke about calling them AI for "all in"...meaning everyone uses them coz they are standard. Kinda fizzled because I forgot to follow through. Thanks goodness its Friday :)

Hey #chemchat, now we have SI instead of AI…do we need to start calling SI units something else? What about Supporting info?

It’s a great idea!

I humbly submit the following correction to the editorial board. @supersciencegrl.co.uk
Same as previous image but now the flying molecule is wearing saintly robes and a sash that has a canonical SMILES string for shikimic acid.

Oops...i didnt get the string in.....

It wouldn't be me if i didnt take it too far.....

It was the basis of this for Sketch Chemistry....but I can't find the pitch.

In a couple of hours U2 will release a new song to launch their 50th anniversary. For 43 of those years I have been a fan - longer than I've been a fan of chem🙃. ChemScrapes is where these worlds sometimes collide, so I'm unashamedly resharing some of my geekiest ever moments. #chemchat #u2

It might be OK with Sunday Bloody Sunday and Red Light. But there will no doubt be a 45th anniversary re-release in a couple of years - let’s pitch it

A parody of the fine you cannibals album “the way and the cooked”. It has the band members as cannabinoids. It the fine young cannabinoids .

More classic Chem albums #chemsky #chemchat
A parody of U2s War album coverer. Instead of a brick wall there are out of focus blood cells (black and white). And a molecule of warfarin has the face from the original album. The album is called “U2 Warfarin”
