At Lidl, even when I’ve entered my phone number for the discounts, at the end of checking out the message says something about signing up for lidl rewards. In that case I think it’s just branding for any other customers. Maybe the same thing at cvs

Copy promoting the use of AI always seems to have come from a prompt like: "Write about how AI can help journalists, in the style of Dr. Seuss if he went to biz school" The language definitely says things, but it's just so oddly empty, with repetition after repetition.

Looking to replace my vw wagon, and there's just nothing from about 2020 forward, unless I want an $100k+ audi avant (more power to them if they can sell those). I'd sure take a 3-year old VW estate of some kind

This is neat and cool to see

this comic is a very cool example of the new types of things we're trying out at @physicstoday.aip.org. check it out!

Uncovered: From alchemy to AI, and the funds behind it all Join us as we dive deeper into a graphic novelesque experience that sheds light on alchemy, chemistry, and the money that paid for it

In this episode of C&EN Uncovered, host @craigofwaffles.bsky.social speaks with C&EN editor @scigorski.bsky.social and graphic artist and freelance illustrator Ryan Inzana about their collaborative efforts to make one of C&EN’s most innovative articles to date.

thanks for sharing this, can’t believe I haven’t seen this before

Journo request: I'm working on a story on life after a cancer diagnosis -- late effects of treatment, working with a PCP on specific health needs, and so on. Looking to speak with people with direct experience and doctors who can share their experience learning to provide care/ make decisions.

I feel like I know her better from this piece than from watching every episode she’s been in

Poutine is one of the great dishes out there, it’s just fantastic

Thanks so much, so glad you like it.

Really proud to be part of the team that put this together cen.acs.org/policy/resea...

The funds that fueled chemistry: A visual history Explore a visual tour through the history of chemistry research funding, from alchemy to AI

Early in 2025 we started talking about how our team @cenmag.bsky.social could present immersive scrolling stories. This story is what came out of those brainstorming sessions. We've told a broad story about how chemistry research has been funded over the centuries cen.acs.org/policy/resea...

Am busy composing alt text for something I'm really excited about publishing next week: "On the left is a man wearing an apron. On the right is a many wearing a top hat and a coat with tails. He’s wearing a monocle and holding a cane."

Why yes, it is about chemistry.

Machi koro is a fun one — also love so many of the others mentioned here. Wingspan is fun and also beautiful

We have an VW Alltrack station wagon, if they listened to what I wanted they’d still sell those in the us. The buzz vans are so gorgeous, but that price!

Great advice applicable to far more than journalism

This essay is incredible. A drop everything and read this piece on learning and thinking

Please let me know if you find one!

Thanks

I see six seasons of it on Pluto (and the terrific champions set is there too) Are you finding more seasons somewhere else?

Wow!

At MAHA Summit, the NIH head pushes for research that risks failure And 4 other takeaways for life scientists from the ‘off-the-record’ Make America Healthy Again conference

So, remember that MAHA summit 2 weeks ago that @statnews.com broke the news of and @maxkozlov.bsky.social somehow got into for Nature, even though it was closed to the press?

The organizers posted the entire 6.5-hour conference proceedings to YouTube last week.

I remember these quite fondly. Can’t believe they were supposed to be healthy!

I’ve got both of those! Well, got one for my son.

Love it when I look at a list of important tasks I jotted on a post-it note. Item 4 full text: "Think about this"

Super helpful past Chris. Well done.

#chemsky, what made you want to be a chemist? How did you overcome a difficult obstacle? What did it feel like to solve a problem you'd been working on for years? I'm editing this series about how life and chemistry interact. Reach me at c_gorski@acs.org, or encrypted at contactcen@protonmail.com
