"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

Pandora autoplay algorithm has been monitoring my recent listens very attentively it would seem
I understand why LLM companies use clickbaity announcements to sustain hype, I don't understand why media keeps falling for it
If Exxon announced that they "may or may not" have discovered an unlimited source of free clean energy they would be blown off, not obsessed over
I had an undergrad biochem professor who like to joke how the CRC was one of the most misleadingly-named books in history because it claims to be a "handbook"

This Valentine's Day, we wanted to help all the chemistry-minded sweethearts out there. Choose from one of five exciting cards to share with that special someone. In matters of love, it all comes down to chemistry.

The only thing more surprising than learning that Marvin Gaye recorded a rendition of How High The Moon is learning that it's not particularly good

Aspiring scientists: STEM is great. But also, have you read a poem recently
Humans, sentient beings that are capable of moral decision making and feelings like loyalty, cannot be counted on to keep nuclear secrets, why should we expect that the machines would be any better
The 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.” Stay tuned for the full story to come! cen.acs.org/people/nobel...

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.
Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world.

I submit that the greatest opening to a written work in the English language isn't even from a novel
I've read that we have a cognitive bias to treat easy/intuitive explanations as more credible. Do you think your subjects infer the meaning of jargon from their own experience (and realize they don't actually know when asked) or are they solely treating jargon as [credibility noise]?
Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet.
ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.
A call to stand up and show support for the Bethesda Declaration, the NIH, and for federally funded science in general.
Marcia McNutt has been saying that the US is doing a huge experiment with China as the control. The global scientific community will still produce knowledge. But not being in the lead has bad implications for US flourishing. My column:

You don't hate chemistry. You fear chemistry, with its lack of boundaries...what's an acid? What's a salt? Is carbon dioxide an organic molecule? What's happening, the shapes, the chaos
I did two interviews this morning with two different innovators in *very* different fields and halfway through, unprompted, each was like "oh yeah and by the way the main reason we exist is government funding of research, this breakthrough would be totally impossible without it"
A screenshot of a Reuters article stating that the US FDA suspended milk quality test workforce cuts.
Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.
🧪 Tip: You have the right to contest a grant termination, even though NSF says you don't. 🧵
On Friday, NSF terminated 402 grants (per Musk's DOGE).
The notification letters had one of the most egregious violations of fed regulations I've seen so far in these cases:
"not subject to appeal"
A hundred years ago, the average life expectancy was <50. Today, it is ~80.
What made the difference? Public Health. Public health, however, is not some magic entity happening in a vacuum - it requires people.
Without those people, there can be no Public Health. That serves no one.
Wake up.
