I've only ever done one excel macro and it was written with AI and I wouldn't do it again. It's a worst of all worlds solution

Lmao, website glitch or did someone actually request the list of all my Accredible credentials at 5 am? 😂 I assure you they're real! 😂😂 (Literally just change management certificate + apparently I got one for invited talk at ACS)

Is anyone else getting through a terrible project that needs to be done, just so it won't go into next year? 😂
In case you're wondering how bad it can be, this one involves Excel macros (not writing them, though). #chemchat

Poll (that's not a poll because Bluesky):
Do you say "Tamao-Fleming" or "Fleming-Tamao"?
I always used to see T-F but nowadays it mostly seems to be the latter 🤔 #chemsky

I quite enjoyed this innovative way to make morpholines, from Connor Delaney's group. It's not compatible with every functionality for sure, but it's pretty neat and simple #chemsky pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

It's a good reminder that for AI to help real science, we need the boring stuff like validation, de‑duplication, and better metrics just as much as flashy models.

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at databases and claims around novelty. cen.acs.org/research-int... #chemsky 🧪

Proud I just got mistaken for an actual Swedish person. Ok so it was on an online forum with casually-acquainted people from all over, and there are several prominent Swedes so I throw in the occasional "god morgon" and rarely a whole sentence. Probs not due to my prowess. Still happy though 😂

Has anyone here ever, even once, done a Wulff-Kishner reaction? #chemchat
Actually I'd love to get a count on here of who's actually done particular reactions. I bet there are loads of odd ones chemsky has drawn on when needed
