What I love most about science is that it’s correctable, though slow. Mistakes, bold claims, anything that later turns out to be wrong, can be tested, challenged or improved.That’s not a weakness, but strength.It isn’t about being right the first time,but about a step closer to the truth, together.

Last week I had the pleasure to be invited to speak at a special session on EU research projects at #ICTIS2025 in sunny Granada 🇪🇸. I shared insights on how to electrify and decarbonize chemical industries & transportation fuels. Thankful for the warm welcome and this lovely local gift. 🫒

Proudly sharing that our @nanoesc.bsky.social @icn2.bsky.social is now Green Lab certified by My Green Lab! 💚. We’re cutting our footprint from compiling orders to choosing vendors with sustainable practices and many more. Sustainable chemistry,done sustainably.

Silence= complicity. Not caring or speaking is a choice too. Let's not wait to be directly affected in order to care or informed. If that is the case, we're rejecting the very idea of what makes us human. Let’s choose to care because it’s the human thing to do— in the human way.

Have had visited Auschwitz last Sunday. What haunted me most was how many stayed silent when the holocaust happened. This latest Chemistry World piece by @philipcball.bsky.social shows how science was complicit during Nazi power. Repeating that silence will show we’ve learned nothing from history.

Check out the new MSCA supervision guidelines!
It's been revised to reflect real feedback & best practices to strengthen support, inclusion & supervision quality for MSCA researchers. Quality supervision shouldn't be a matter of luck!

Day1 at #MCAAConf2025 left me hopeful & reflective. CoARA's push to recognize contributions beyond metrics in research assessment is long overdue. As an ECR, chasing shifting expectations is weary. What's recognized today may change tomorrow. However, it's much better than a dysfunctional system.

Snippets of Day 2 #MCAAConf2025 satellite sessions at Krakow 🇵🇱 . Lots of insightful discussions on mentorship, accountability & research careers. Right mentorship does matter, whistleblowing is vital but need to play by the rules🤙🏼& MCSA fellows need continued career support! Great networking too!

Demilitarize.
Decolonize.
Decarbonize.

A timely read for anyone who wants to make sense of current and past world affairs. The book focuses on how mountains, rivers and climate are connected to power dynamics of nations, and why the power centers such as the US, Russia, China, EU etc. act the way they do! A book written by a journalist.

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience, I reflect on how science education shaped my path—an opportunity still denied to many. From Afghanistan to regions where educating women is taboo, girls fight for a right that should never be questioned. I choose to stand with them.

Reviewers often receive templated thank you emails, but rarely, one truly makes you feel seen. Reviewing is about giving back—supporting authors and advancing research. Constructive feedback ensures quality and it’s rewarding when effort is appreciated. Gestures like this remind us why we do it :)

After~5 transformative years in Canada's snowy❄️ winters,Tim’s ☕ runs and an amazing research👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 community @uofwaterloo.bsky.social & @ucalgary.bsky.social that shaped me further as a researcher, it’s time to say goodbye. I will start my position as a Marie Curie Fellow at ICN2 Barcelona🇪🇸 from 2025.

Well,not everything needs to be crystal clear at @uofwaterloo.bsky.social
