SCAM ALERT. This is a fake conference that ripped off my and other people’s names to trick people into registering. There is no such conference that I or the others shown were invited or agreed to. We are working to try to get this fraud taken down from the web.

Even the smallest contamination on an NMR tube can significantly impact your results. A dirty sample can lead to:

- Poor shimming and reduced sensitivity
- Potential contamination of the probe, requiring time-consuming maintenance

Here’s my strategy for keeping track of assay data. I started doing this in grad school and it’s still serving me well! youtu.be/-A1WoAY-aaE example template: bit.ly/assaylog #365DaysOfScience #chemsky #realtimechem #biochemsky
My strategy for keeping track of assay data: logs, strategically-annotated figures, etc.

Yesterday, I attended the launch of @nadsn.bsky.social white paper "Towards a fully inclusive environment for disabled people in STEMM" #NADSNWhitePaper

Inclusion isn’t a burden—it’s the key to innovation #DisabeledInSTEM #RealTimeChem #ChemSky

I'm getting to this a bit late, but I've just read this fantastic review of high Z' crystals/CSP by Paul Waddell in @crystengcomm.rsc.org .
Definitely a paper I'll be coming back to in the future:

A lot to unpack: a decade in high Z′ crystal structures
Crystal structures that form with more than one molecule in the asymmetric unit (Z′ > 1) are a fascinating and important, if overlooked, aspect of crystal engineering. With the recent publication of t...

Re-inventing the wheel. Instead of a #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky summary here is my version of a pKa (in H2O) scale. Values are taken from the wonderful Evans/Ripin & Hans Reich resources. If you want a table, I recommend these.

This was an attempt at a more visual representation of the data

Enjoy

Died #OTD 1928 Lydia Maria DeWitt: a pathologist who studied tuberculosis. She looked for dyes that would penetrate tuberculous lesions, especially dyes incorporating metal atoms such as copper, gold and mercury. She also worked hard to encourage women in scientific research #ChemSky #WomenInScience

Helplines asked #CLEAPSS for an alternative to CuO/H₂SO₄ neutralisation reaction salt making for students to make salts. Not easy, but using ed/ox metal/acid reactions uses the same skills. This is iron(II) sulfate made from staples.

Pretty crystals were a surprise waiting for me when I collected my NMR sample today- shame it’s a known compound, but at least it shows me an alternative purification route to try when making this next time 😄
