Same here, though I was even more irritated when I found out that IUCr journals are using that, too. I specifically asked, after they changed my draft.
Writing a paper for a US-based journal, I die a little bit every time I have to write 'crystallized'

The address is (science) comedy gold, though I have to be exact and demand that it should be "Dear Prof. Respected Author".

Clearly, I am more flattered by some journal invitations than by others. However, I cannot take the fame for this one, since the article "Customizing Multicolored Orbital Angular Momentum Combs" that the skeletons lived so much is nothing I ever published...

Not a fan of the premise - a machine does not invent or craft anything, it does what it is told and built to do.
The precision of e.g. James Webb is neither a coincidence nor it's own achievement, but a result of scientists' development. Those building such machines should get the acclaim.

In reporting this piece on the new trial for a Huntington's treatment, I was struck by one thing in particular:
The joy.
One of my sources wept for joy. He has spent his entire career studying this disease, he said it was the happiest day. www.sciencenews.org/article/hunt...

Huntington's progression slowed by experimental gene therapy
An experimental gene therapy slowed Huntington’s by up to 75 percent in a small clinical trial. While not a cure, it may give patients longer lives.

Hm, I am inclined to contribute an article entitled "The best orbital: yes, there is a correct answer!"
Any further ideas?
However, will have to ask for a full fee waiver - I can't afford these highly specialised journals.

A picture worth a thousand words. I’m holding the manuscript (in prep) for my paper detailing the optimization of a natural product for treating FLT3-ITD AML. The bag below it holds my stem cells, collected for transplant into a non-related leukemia patient. Truly a full circle moment #chemsky

From @apoethig.bsky.social, [2]rotaxanes with enhanced reactivity (@jacs.acspublications.org).
These rotaxanes were shown to deprotect faster compared to non-interlocked structures due to conformational preorganisation.

I am excited to go! It will be quite an adventure, as the topic is excitingly outside my classical expertise...
It's not too late to register for the ICDM10 in Durham in July and learn what Quantum Crystallography can do for your crystal structures! www.icdm10.org

Hm, "MOFs in Asia" is really a well chosen title which makes me smile and think whether they go for holiday or work...
But anyway, I am sure they are Big in Japan, too.
