Wonder if Blue Peter ever showed kids how to make one out of cereal boxes....

Sadly so

Dang, I wish I had been funnier with it!

The last time I'll ever turn off a Schlenk line. Ten years, almost a third of my life, I've been a Schlenk chemist.

KNEECAP STATEMENT 14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us. We deny this ‘offence’ and will vehemently defend ourselves. This is political policing. This is a carnival of distraction. We are not the story. Genocide is. As they profit from genocide, they use an ‘anti-terror law’ against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage. A charge not serious enough to even warrant their ‘crown court’, instead a court that doesn’t have a jury. What’s the objective?

To restrict our ability to travel. To prevent us speaking to young people across the world. To silence voices of compassion. To prosecute artists who dare speak out. Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it.

WE STAND PROUDLY WITH THE PEOPLE. YOU STAND COMPLICIT WITH THE WAR CRIMINALS. WE ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY. YOU ARE NOT. WE WILL FIGHT YOU IN YOUR COURT. WE WILL WIN. FREE PALESTINE

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

Quick question for the BlueSky community: does BlueSky need a polling function?

[X] Yes.
[ ] No.
[ ] How am I supposed to answer this without a polling function on BlueSky?
[ ] See results

Lye soap, double negatives....

wtf is this nyt, what is this?

Probably my last ever teaching event with students was last Friday, a tutorial with ten enrolled. Not one turned up. A grand way to end my time in academia

We told young people that degrees were their ticket to a better life. It’s become a great betrayal | Gaby Hinsliff With the labour market declining and AI a threat to entry-level jobs, graduates have been sold a lie. It’s no wonder they’re angry, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

"Imagine sitting alone in front of a webcam, trying to land your first proper job and being evaluated by a bot with whom you can’t even shake hands, let alone kindle memories of how hard it was getting a foot in the door when they were young."

Brilliant

Presuming some market research has been done, but I wonder if the Aussies and kiwis have the same appetite as thee Yanks

Can't get even a mediocre job with a horrible boss without a degree

Path doesn't matter because of the crippling costs.

Insane cost.

Cracking stuff!

Hot off the press, some calcium chemistry I helped way back when I was at Imperial.
Kudos to all involved getting it done and out there.

WE ARE GOING UP 😍

Average fare for 3 miles waymo $7.20.
Same for Washington metro $2.
Obviously doesn't include subsidies/how much Google is losing to make waymo happen.

If the costs don't justify the benefits, then GoA4 has no benefit to be retrofitted, surely?

Giving blood is cool. You should do it, if you can.

While looking for something else, I stumbled on this interesting back and forth from the early 1970s in C&E News. I read more letters to the editor and the general vibe is men in chemistry and the chemistry community were pretty scummy... #chemsky #womeninchemistry #womeninstem

Has the schedule been published for the domestic?

No surprise you won a prize, congratulations!

Weapons development always needs a chemist

Which bit?

Telegram? They recruiting you to join an armed forces?

If you work in recruiting, please stop saying "I would like to take this opportunity to wish you every success in your job search and professional future endeavours." if you offer no feedback on applications.

I don't care how many applications you get, wishes are worthless.
