Photo from yesterday’s official opening of the new CryoMAS #ssNMR platform in #umea (Sweden). Great talks covering all aspects of #ssnmr and its diverse applications.

Yay, the first of my regular column essays for Strange Horizons is out! I worked super hard on this one, a history of the symbiosis & mutual influence between western genre fiction & Japanese anime/manga. Designed for non-anime-fans interested in learning how the fandoms nourished each other. W/ bonus WWII history & sparkly musicals! http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/a-mitfreude-of-anime-and-mangas-relationship-with-anglophone-science-fiction-or-this-essay-will-not-try-to-get-you-into-anime-and-manga/

#introduction.

I'm a chemistry professor at UC Irvine that specializes in inorganic chem and electrochem.

My research focuses on #electrification of the chemical industry, #decarbonization, #carboncapture, and #sustainability. Current projects on electrochemical carbon capture and utilization, but also electric fields in #catalysis and #bioinsipred systems.

I'm an #academicmom that loves cooking, running, cycling, hiking, ultimate frisbee, and ice hockey but never has enough time.

Paper day! We wrote a paper on the JWST backgrounds, how they compare to predictions, and implications for science performance. https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.09890

Discerning astrophysicists like their deep fields like chocolate and coffee – as dark as possible. So, how dark is the JWST sky?

I wonder whether any of the #Firefox developers are aware how I feel every time they push the "Restart to Keep Using Firefox" message in my face while in the middle of working?! I want to support browser diversity but it's difficult to continue using a product that shows so little respect for their users.

I can understand if this were for a serious 0-day vulnerability or something but this is for every single update!

Just saying no to leaf blowers ✊

I may have to deploy the rake however 🤷‍♂️

Hi #ChemiVerse

I might come to regret this, but I've seen some journalists compiling lists of people on here & I thought it might be useful in the early days here to do something similar for the chemistry community (& those who interact with the chemistry community – you can define that quite liberally).

So, here is a Google Form that you can fill in if you wish: https://forms.gle/gF9MLUGMWs23EFix6
