Hey all! I'm an Australian PhD student working in supramolecular chemistry (mainly photoswitch related, with lots of supporting NMR studies). Alongside the chemistry I play music, dance, and have interests in politics/international relations/global security (any open-source analysts hanging around here?).

I've tried mastodon on and off a few times before this account, but never really managed to find a critical mass of enough others with shared interests to keep me here. With all the interest M's been picking up recently, it seemed like it might be worth trying again!

@spinflip A warm welcome! I did quite some chemistry exams in my career, and I'm very happy to have more scientists aboard from different fields to learn from.

Seems like qoto is going in the right direction.

@arteteco Thank you! I'm not 100% sold on subject-focused instances making sense in the long term (am I more a researcher, or a film fan? or should I self-sort based on my politics?), but maybe it'll help get M off the ground

@spinflip I hear you, I also sometime feel that it may not be the best thing... but as you say, is a starting point to gather people, we'll see what comes after =)
