Did I want to go to the gym this morning? No. Do I think food is a healthy incentive to do sports? No.
Did the knowledge that the IGA close to the gym sells fresh pretzels in the morning enough of argument to get my butt into my gym pants?
Maybe.
I may still self-publish it, only to document it. But im not sure if I want to make myself a target.
Times aren't great for queer folks :(
Not really..... I know one of the reviewers by name. But that's it. So far I didn't have the energy to keep fighting.
Even though it feels like I should

Teasing a new paper coming out from our group. Can you figure out what we have done, based on the attached song?

Congratulations! Very well deserved!
I will admit that I am a whimp. Heaters went on today. Melbourne winter 2026 has officially began
I wonder if the #Artemis crew was able to figure out what gender the turtle has. #Science is amazing!
To say a little more about the hype: watch the date of this announcement
Happy to announce that we found a compression algorithm for polymers. Rather than requiring full chain lengths, we can achieve the same information density with about 1/8th of the chain segments. Think of it as mp3 codec for polymers. Nature article to be released soon!

Hurray, it is trans day of visibility #tdov 2026! I'll stay visible, even if they will also come for us in Australia.
Consider this a big FU. If that offends you, yes, I was referring to you.
about the happy news that Australia will join Horizon Europe, does anyone know if the negotiations are about pillar II only, or a full association?

Nicht alle Männer. Richtig und schon klar. Wissen wir.
Die Angst ist dass trans Männer das Spiel nicht mitspielen und dass trans Frauen wissen und verraten könnten, was die anderen so raushauen, wenn man denkt man wäre unter sich
Der Grund warum das Patriachat etwas gegen trans Menschen hat, ist nicht weil es etwas gegen trans sein an sich hat.
Aus gegebenen Anlass mal ein post auf deutsch. Der Fall Ulmen (shit, ich mochte seine Filme) bringt mich zu einem Gefanken zurück den ich schon lange habe:
People all havent seen Futurama. Nixon's head must be somewhere....
I am quite happy with myself and how I am doing in my fundraiser challenge. I think I can do the remaining 3.6 km in the next 13 days!
.@monashuniversity.bsky.social made a great move with the AI.Monash initiative. Of course I tested its new capabilities with making polymer themed educational music. What do you think? I have the feeling students wont pay tickets to this concert.....
No can do. Links are typically colour coded, and we all know that publishing in colour costs extra in pdfs.
⏳Five days to go! Send us your nomination for the 2026 Chemical Science Lectureship in digital chemistry by 13 March! See rsc.li/chemsci-lectu... for details about eligibility and how to nominate. We look forward to receiving your nomination.
🌍🔬 Celebrating International Women’s Day 👩🔬👩🎓
Today we celebrate the incredible women chemists of @IUPAC.org who are advancing science, education, sustainability, and global collaboration.
Happy International Women's Day 2026 to all the women shaping the future of chemistry.

Oh, you can map yourself now in the bluesky universe
Friends dont let friends publish with mdpi...
And we are at 228 laps for my 800 laps pledge this month in the #LapsForLife fundraiser. When I entered the pool today, I dint think I had the full distance in me, but then I made it! 28 laps ahead of my planned schedule, that feels good!

I dont think we should tolerate chemotopophobia. All molecules are equal.
With the exception of CH5+.
Just finished the #RSCPoster webinar on Mental Health in Science. Such an important topic, that especially the last days has been very much on my mind. We all need to learn to talk more, educate ourselves and communicate better about mental health.

This article is part of a special issue in JACS Au on flow chemistry, and I think this contribution, the main work of Gayathri's PhD within the IITB/Monash academy, is a wonderful example for fruitful collaborations between India and Australia!

New paper alert! Miniemulsion polymerizations are so useful for many things. Yet, bringing them from the lab to scalable synthesis is something that isn't easy. Using a combo of spinning disk reactor and agitated reactors, we solved that issue! Well done, Gayathri!
