Magnetic resonance people are so wild for terrible acronyms, you gotta wonder if the magnetic field does something to our brains.

Someone needs to invent a device that can move me and my cats directly from the sofa to my bed without disturbing the cuddle puddle that has formed in my lap.

I think Merlin and Morgana are trying to tell me it’s time to turn the heat on for the season. Personally, I don’t see the problem #catsky #CatsOfBluesky

I have recently added #ChemChat as a feed thanks to @stephy.bsky.social (and to @chemjobber.bsky.social for the concept)
If that's your sort of thing, here it is:

I warn you though, mere moments in and I'm considering bread concepts (again). Enter at your own risk.

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them.

Sad update: unfortunately, after the first round of prototyping, the colored component did not make the cut and we’re back in yellow chemistry territory.
Ok, fine, I’ll admit it:

It might be true that the world needs to remove ten billion tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere every year but it’s never going to happen for many different reasons: technical, financial, social, environmental, governance, etc. If we don’t reduce CO₂ emissions, we’re screwed. That’s it.
Removing CO2 from atmosphere vital to avoid catastrophic tipping points, leading scientist says
10bn tonnes must be captured from the air every year to limit global heating to 1.7C, says Johan Rockström
