Revenge of the student! This time I got to ask the questions when interviewing @klchemistry.bsky.social about the group’s recent article.

Read the Chemistry World article ‘A current ⚡️ take on the Swern Oxidation’
#ChemSky
chemistryworld.com Chemistry World @chemistryworld.com · 23d
An electrochemical approach to the classic Swern oxidation converts alcohols to aldehydes and ketones at room temperature, eliminating the need for dangerous reagents and extreme conditions.
A current take on the Swern oxidation
Electrochemical update to a classic reaction trades cryogenic conditions for room temperature, to selectively convert primary and secondary alcohols into aldehydes and ketones

Hey #ChemSky friends - don't forget to register your GWB event. Only 7 on the map from Canada so far this year (we normally have at least 10 by this stage and over 20 in total most years). The theme this year is 'Accelerating Equity in Science'. iupac.org/gwb/ Have fun organizing and GWB/Allying 😀
Global Women's Breakfast - IUPAC | International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
The goal of the GWB is to establish an active network of people to overcome the barriers to gender equality in science. Groups from all types of science organizations from high schools, to science soc...

Content over at the other site deleted; but apart from #KanyeOrCronin or #SocialIsolationSocial posts, I think this was my greatest contribution there, so for a bit of Friday fun for #Chemsky, I'm reposting it here:
