Watching presidential debates is always painful for me. I cannot deal with three people talking at the same time. I suggest cutting microphones. Whenever it’s not your turn you won’t even be heard by anyone.

Got home from work at 11 pm, showered and made dessert for groups giving tomorrow. On my way to bed I thought “nothing can get between me and my bed”… the universe accepted the challenge while I was turning the lights off *sigh*

Measuring electrochemistry at 5 mV/s at 7 pm is just sad 🥲 at least I have all the time in the world to eat candy while acquiring data

Just saw an insta story of a GenZ (that just started college) using ChatGPT to write her bibliography 👀 should I tell her?

James Watson was not just a scientist who was a racist. He was worse - a scientist who offered other racists the comfort of scientific authority.

Having 8 am meetings with people in Europe is just a lot 🥲 can I please sleep a little bit more? I’m a night owl 🦉

Never understood why people thought going to the dentist was awful - until today (and according to my dentist I have a mild sensitivity in one tooth due to teeth grinding 🥲). Tooth pain/ sensitivity is no joke!

Has anyone noticed how the autocorrect and the typing on Apple keyboards got way worse? It doesn’t correct to the right words and it seems like the keys are slightly off…

Heard someone say that “scientists don’t want you to know” a few minutes after I bored the heck out of a friend speaking for two hours straight about my research 😅

Streaming services putting five 1.5 min ads in a 50 min episode when you pay a lot every month for the streaming service is too much. When can we rebel?

New online! Methylthio-alkane reductases use nitrogenase metalloclusters for carbon–sulfur bond cleavage
Methylthio-alkane reductases use nitrogenase metalloclusters for carbon–sulfur bond cleavage
Nature Catalysis, Published online: 23 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41929-025-01426-2Methylthio-alkane reductases are recently discovered enzymes that can produce methanethiol and small hydrocarbons from methylated sulfur compounds. Now the cryo-EM structure of a methylthio-alkane reductase complex is solved, revealing large metalloclusters previously observed only within nitrogenases.

Our latest work on the nitrogenase-like methylthio-alkane reductase, which specifically reduces reduces carbon-sulfide bonds is now out @natcatal.nature.com: doi.org/10.1038/s419.... We find for the first time large #nitrogenase metalloclusters (P- and L-cluster) outside nitrogenases.

Today I came home at 6:30 pm and left my computer at work on purpose. Then I remembered I really need to start writing. Now I’m laying on my bed considering writing on my phone so I can copy paste tomorrow… it would’ve been so much easier if I had accepted that I had to bring my computer home.
