I am shocked and appaled that the Chemistry Nobel was awarded to chemists instead of to real chemists! When will organic chemistry get its proper recognition??? Sorry. Instinctual reaction.

Beware, Northamericans, of our own version of Canadian geese: the Egyptian goose (Ger. Nil-gans, i.e. goose from Nile). Can't wait for the overpopulation and fighting one on my way to campus each morning www.derstandard.de/story/300000...

I love how colour in minerals is mostly because of imperfection of crystal structure (foreign metals, water, shifts of planes, ...) So these kinds of cups are basically "what imperfection is the most beautiful one" which is beautiful! Wonder if there is a lesson in there for humanity 🤔

#Chemsky Am actively recruiting graduate students for 2027. Looking for a total of 4-6 students to join the team. Synthetic organic chemistry, molecular biology/cell biology, and biophysics are priorities, but we will consider almost anything in the molecular sciences if it aligns with our work!

If you have to emphasize the whole time to everyone what a manly man you are... Maybe you aren't? The test doesn't help with that either. "Hey, you, look at my test!!!! It proves my manly manliness!!!!"

I know we’re all tired of being on Zoom, but some important Zoom etiquette reminders:

- everyone wants to see your cat

- don’t just say “my cat is here,” hold your cat up to the camera so we can see it

- when your cat is on camera, either say “cat” or type “cat” in the chat

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

If we take that at face value the next step is for the UN to pass a resolution declaring the makers of AI to be hostis humani generis ("enemy of humanity"). That would be the predicate under international law to treat them like privates, creating universal jurisdiction to capture and punish them. 🤷‍♂️

I get really annoyed seeing so many people say "Since everyone uses AI to write papers..." or "Referee reports now are just written by AI..." Look: Everything I have written has, for better or worse, been my own writing. Don't project your cynical expectations on my work. Seriously, screw gen-AI.

My challenge is to make them come to these conclusions without explicitly telling them, "you can't use it for that". Nobody wants to be told what to do, especially when the results often look good. Any suggestions?
