Joined the Mastodon train! Starting off with a #ChemistWhoSews post about my new skirt I just finished! Actually made the coat and top too :) excited to connect to other chemists and sewists on here!

#introduction

#GlycoTime enthusiast based at the University of Basel in Switzerland

We love ALL glycans, synthesizing native structures and mimetics thereof to study glycan interactions and develop new carbohydrate-based drugs

In positive news, happy to see my postdoc labmates Nick Shin and Elaine Tsui's work on SNAr on phenoxyls is up at JACS. Basically oxidize a phenol up to a phenoxyl and it SNArs like a juiced up nitroarene

#AcademicPeers #chemtoots #Chemiverse what a rush! We'll be moving our labs to University of Geneva next summer

Wanna #join us? We are #hiring and have 1-2 #PhD positions in #organic and #supramolecular chemistry open NOW
at University of #Zurich then Faculty of Science | University of #Geneva

Interested working with us?

I know it's kind of cheesy, but it means a lot to me and is kind of surreal when you see an official protein database like InterPro updates its protein function citing your PhD's discovery. I still remember the feeling of seeing those CYRI-A's flashes surrounding those vesicles..

Hi all, a little #introduction from me

I'm a new Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology at UCL Chemistry #London

My group develops methods to control nucleic acids (#DNA #RNA) and synthetic cells (#synbio) with stimuli, like light, temperature and magnetism - we use all sorts of chemistries like #photocages, #polymers, and #nanoparticles

I will also toot about parenting, #coeliac disease, and things I find funny!

#chemtoots #chemistry #chemiverse

Greetings #Chemiverse!

My #Introduction:

Professionally, I am a scientist with backgrounds in nanomaterials, catalysis, electrochemistry & spectroelectrochemistry. Currently I am a postdoc for the Center of Sustainable Nanotechnology (CSN) & the Haynes lab.

I am passionate about: #chemistry #education, #mentorship, #advocacy, #scicomm, #ScienceHenna, #InvisibleWork, #travel, #poetry, #nature & #running.

Beyond that, I love to learn, explore, grow, & spend time with family & friends!

Please contact me if you are interested in a 2-year postdoc fellowship at UCSD on AI in drug design, advancing our collaboration with Prof Rose Yu (Computer Science, UCSD)!

Application deadline is Dec 15, 2022.

Time for an #introduction. I'm a critical care doctor in Edinburgh.

I lead a research programme using host genomics to identify modifiable molecular targets for drug treatment in sepsis/critical illness/respiratory viruses. We'll test therapeutic targets in lung using microdosing via AI-driven bronchoscopes.

I lead the #GenOMICC study, co-lead #ISARIC4C, run the Outbreak Data Analysis Platform, and co-direct the Pandemic Science Hub at Edinburgh University.

An #introduction as I try to get the hang of this new space: I am a #supramolecular #chemist with interests in #flowchemistry , organic materials, macrocycles, and cages. I’m based at the University of Liverpool (all opinions my own etc).
I may talk about #automation in chem, #accessibility and #disability and #neurodivergence , our daft #cat or our exuberant kids, or I may just lurk while I get the hang of toots! Always interested in finding new #music too, tell me what you’re listening to.

Nice paper from the Schapira lab identifying potential #ligand binding pockets for future #PROTAC development.

Good morning! Time for another #science retrospective on Mastodon. In this paper we showed that (at least some) enzymes experience 'accelerated conformational searching' when they bind to their substrates. That is, they don't change the conformation space that they explore, but they explore it faster!

This is one of my favorite 'fundamental science' contributions from my group! Plus I got to do a TOC figure of a protein wearing sunglasses and riding a rocket.

Excited to present our BioRxiv preprint on chemical rational design strategies for developing molecular glue degraders through a covalent handle targeting RNF126! Congrats to Ethan Toriki and James Papatzimas and thanks to our Novartis collaborators! Also thanks to The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.04.512693v1

#introduction Hello #chemtoots and #sciencetoots I'm a photochemist, researcher and father of a 2year old. I find fluorescent molecules exciting and like sharing their beautiful colours and other science stuff. Still figuring out this new #chemiverse #chemisty

#Introduction
I'm an #atmospheric chemist and mass spectrometrist at Bucknell University. My group (mainly undergraduates) studies #multiphase #chemistry of reactive gases at air-exposed surfaces, including inspiration from indoor building surfaces, the air-sea interface, #aerosol particle surfaces, lung fluid, and even insect surfaces! We use various mass spectrometry approaches to address #surface film chemistry questions.

#introduction time!

I did my bachelor's and master's degrees in Chemistry (Sicily, Italy). Then I moved to Finland for a Ph.D. in Physics to sharpen my computational skills and knowledge #compchem.

In 2019 I moved to Heidelberg (Germany) to a biochemistry Lab for a postdoc at the Heidelberg University Biochemistry Center. I love #lipids, and I work on lipid-protein and protein-protein interactions using both computational and wet-lab experiments.

Currently struggling to become a PI :)

I think I need more wine to write a proper introduction. But, I like proteins that stick to other proteins and create organised structures that bend phospholipid membranes. Why? They combine clever design with fundamental physical chemistry to maintain compartmentalisation of cellular functions. This means that I need to be a physical chemist and a bit of a cell biologist at the same time.

This looks interesting for people who use #LaTeX, #Overleaf or work in sciences

Introducing Overleaf Labs
https://www.overleaf.com/blog/introducing-overleaf-labs

I don't work for overleaf I just use the platform, and really recommend it.

@freemo @zleap
Another app we may need to consider
is
https://curvenote.com

They integrate #jupyter notebooks with text editor for version control and is an excellent editor. I will see if we can get the developers here and have a discussion. Great tool!

It's #introduction time!

I recently completed my PhD in #chemistry in #photocatalysis and am very much still vibing with the #ChemiVerse especially as I'm still involved in plenty of #SciComm projects!

In September I joined the Royal Society of Chemistry as Development Editor for their Physical & Sustainability journals #publishing #ChemToots #ScienceMastodon

I am #genderfluid and use they/them pronouns
