Let me tell you a little story called "ChatGPT cant do trig" Once upon a time a lazy scientist wanted to know the bond lengths/angles of a bromoform - a tetrahedral, carbon centric Cv2 molecule he had measured by neutron scattering.

While the aim of science technically isn't to see how much of a grant you can spend without going over on the last day, I'm still feeling pretty cheery after hitting £0.18 under the limit. Built up a little stockpile of solvent-resistant syringes to hide in my office too #chemsky

UCL's Andrea Sella to return his 2014 Michael Faraday prize to the Royal Society over its continued refusal to censure Elon Musk. Sella won the award as 'an exemplary science communicator' (in the words of the RS's spokesperson). Its return too is exemplary science communication.

Sadly, Journal accounts have flooded #chemsky, likely causing the noticeable drop in human posts. Please try consciously to keep this place alive by muting all the paper bots and re-engage with the scientist's posts here. It would be a pity if chemsky was lost.
