A fellow of the Royal Society slashed funding for disease prevention, leading directly to the deaths of uncounted children. He promotes white supremacy and is actively encouraging racist violence in the UK. But he's Elon Musk, a billionaire. So the Royal Society does nothing. @royalsociety.org

Personally just me myself, I don’t want a vibrant and reconstituted Republican Party. I want a humiliated Republican Party bleeding out as a crowd of passersby stands idly by.

Is there a bigger bait than "JOIN OUR COMPANY'S TALENT COMMUNITY!" options on the career search pages?

Petition to stop using any version of: Make [noun] [adjective] Again No “Make Science Great Again”, “Science Makes America Great”, “Make Evidence Matter Again”, etc. We actually don’t have to rework the Nazi tagline. We can simply be creative and come up with something better.

Completely baffled by a job app I just filled out that had a questionnaire that included "I understand that this position requires a five-day on site work week at X location" but the dropdown menu included a "I'm only looking for fully remote positions" option.

All you've got to to is think of it like the folks on @forcecenterpod.bsky.social say...imagine if Amazon had a mercenary army blockading things along with having their own senators in congress

Will be moving to a locale with fairly limited lab-based process chemistry positions available come July. as such I'm becoming more invested in searching for fully remote #chemjobs - preferably in the process chemistry ouvre, at this point open to others as well. Advice or help greatly appreciated

I need some wise sage (or the cliche career aptitude test from the television) to just tell me what (fully remote) jobs I could do and enjoy based on what I've already done

Anyone on #chemsky have thoughts or insights into fully remote jobs that still live in the process development chemistry realm? May potentially need to transition to a remote position next year and trying to plan ahead

If the troops were sent to march through MacArthur Park to film propaganda videos, I hope the new "they got Capone for his taxes" becomes "they got the fascists for not having film permits"

Anyone have insights on translating an organic chem PhD and 7+ years of process dev chem experience into a remote job field? Staring down the potential of moving to an area (for 4 yr) where the closest process dev joint will be pretty much out of commute range.

I have a PhD in chemistry and I do productive work with my hands all day. I use a pallet jack like once a week. I haul around dewars of liquid nitrogen and gas cylinders. I was emailing someone about a gantry on Monday.

Yet another extremely stupid and destructive move appears to be underway. Those people who advised me to calm down, that everything was actually going to work out fine, know what they can go do with themselves. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.
