Vote for the people you love and beyond. Care about others.

You are NOT rich enough for the CPC to care about you or have your best interests at heart.

Care about healthcare, at-risk groups, housing, science, childcare, environment. Without community and progress, we are nothing.

Great first day of the @conscience-network.bsky.social Symposium on Open Drug Discovery in MTL ✨️

Highlight was catching @dereklowe.bsky.social present a wonderful keynote – super exciting after following his blog and insights for many years!

See ya tomorrow for day 2! 🧠

Grant submission done! Once again, random non-science skills have come in clutch.

When the cart with culture/media is wheeled past my desk into the lab, the lingering smell is a little... delicious? Food-esque. Ferment-y. Forbidden thirst quencher?

Word's built-in grammar assessment REALLY hates the use of "in order to", but Clippy himself is not powerful enough to take away my favourite subordinating conjugation 😤

Missing microscopy a lot these days... still technically working with tiny things, but I don't get to look anymore 💔

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you.

Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

I have made a ChemSky starter pack and am posting here to help boost visibility. This list is not exhaustive, but should hopefully help newcomers or rejoiners find some accounts and feeds to follow

Label for clear-glass snap-top "flasks" from our Swiss supplier... the German language is so funny and real for this

Coming from a largely Raman spectroscopy person until now: are exchangeable protons the cosmic rays of NMR?

(internal vs external interference source blah blah, but humour me here)
