Do you know of any papers that have datasets of organic materials (polymers, molecules) with experimental parameters–not material properties, but stuff like concentration, temperature, whatever?

New preprint online: A flow cell for data validation in computer vision. Computer vision is amazing for reaction monitoring, analytical chemistry, and self-driving laboratories, but it has a flaw… let’s dig deep into this research. #Chemsky 1/n

I've had many discussions with colleagues about the future of publishing, especially about how antiquated the current static web page & PDF model is. This write-up in Nature
about curvenote.com is exactly what we need!

A publishing platform that places code front and centre
Curvenote creates interactive publications based on digital-coding notebooks and aims to increase the transparency and reproducibility of data science. Curvenote creates interactive publications based...

Agreed! Reposting to annoy my Celsius friends 😉
A hill I will die on:
Fahrenheit is calibrated to the human experience, Celsius is calibrated to the phase changes of water.

Clearly, Celsius is more useful in a chemistry lab, but Fahrenheit makes more intuitive sense for weather and room temps.

Another instrument is up and running! We set up our
Gyros PurePep Chorus last Friday. Keep an eye out for exciting developments on this front 👀

We just completed the installation of Big Purchase #1 ™️: a quadruple (!) detector SEC from Tosoh. This bad boy has RI, UV, MALS, & viscometry 💪 We're really excited to start getting some absolute molecular weights!

Heading to my first (!) #S24MRS tomorrow to give an invited talk about machine learning from OPV data and data reporting standards.

Come find me in EN04.02 or drop me a DM if you're in Seattle too!

Out now on ChemRxiv! We explored using machine learning to predict OPV device performance from molecular structure of the materials *and* processing data. Hopefully this somewhat didactic approach is useful to those in the field who are interested in ML.

Help spread the word! Encourage your students, postdocs and colleagues to submit to the ACS Colloid and Surface Science Symposium.

We have an excellent group of speakers. I'll be co-chairing a session on automation and ML/AI in colloids and surface science.

Calling my ML/DataSci peeps on #ChemSky and #MatSky!

I’m teaching a data science for materials course next semester. The idea is to cover basics of data cleaning, preprocessing, simple models, classification & regression. If you have resources/slides you’d be willing to share, please let me know!

I realized that I don't spend much time on here because Bluesky's UX suck you in as much as others, and that's... good!
