Hey #chemchat #chemsky question - an app I used to track journal feeds will be dead soon.
Any good tools to keep track of new literature articles? Ideally I'd like something I can 👍👎 and filter out topics or authors (e.g., "exclude this paper mill")
Suggestions welcome - I'll post a summary

Four of our PhD students just organized the Max Planck Science Policy Winter School.🏛️ An entire week which brought together 50 young scientists in Berlin to explore where science can have an impact in the political sphere and how it can shape a more resilient future! 🌍
Congrats to them! 🎉

We aim for high-level research, so we decided to put ourselves at the highest altitude in Germany - the Zugspitze! 🏔️❄️☃️
This year's group retreat was fully surrounded by snow, but the confinement effect in the mountain successfully induced our red-hot, strong bonds once again 🤝🤝
