About 10 years ago, I closed my website/blog, and I have always wanted to "reopen" it.
Today I can tick it down from my 2020 New Year's resolutions.
I think it's also nice to restart the blog with my first blog post of 2013

Tell you one thing #chemchat. I have been looking at writing research proposals after a loooong break. I thought was my chemistry had been eroded by time. Rather, it’s been sharpened by experience. I think that thinking outside requires stepping outside the box. 1/2

Coolness! #chemchat
Obviously a lot is going on (gestures widely)
Amid chaos, I cope by doing *something* -- anything. Lately, it's been coding for @avogadro.cc because it feels like some small change I can do myself
For *years* I've wanted to show electron density volumes .. little clouds ☁️☁️

In a moment of tiredness I just poured some Barossa Shiraz into my coffee while pouring my wife a glass of wine. I don’t drink so didn’t taste but it smelt GREAT!
Someone please do a taste test and let the community know as a service. Roughly 2:1 coffee to wine ratio. #chemchat #chemsky

Lanthanide botherers! Love it.
Fellow #lanthanide botherers, don't miss the new data on lanthanide transition and spectra published late 2025. This work superceeds the old experiments and has very nice creative-common licenced figures! #chemsky

Dieke diagrams have formed the basis for describing the electronic structure of f-block ions, but experimental methods have improved since their development. Here, the authors use experimental data to...

Hey #Chemsky, to start off 2026 I have made the first ChemScrapery book available for a download through the ChemScrapes Shop. It's just a PDF - but all ChemScrapes.
Check it out.
