The test paper I tried was a bit of an intended challenge because it was organic synthesis. qed was quite good a finding “gaps”.

Ok. Was able to create an account now. However, creating a pw crashed my browser (Safari) multiple times. It seems to finally work after all that. Will be fun to test!

I tried to register to use the platform, but never received the registration email confirmation (and yes, I checked the spam filter). Any suggestions? Looks like a great tool. Excited to try it!

So cool to see this one finally out. Oxylipins continue to fascinate with their multiple functions. What an amazing group of compounds. Shout out to Marina Botana @greasy-scientist.bsky.social for a fantastic study. The first of many to come!
