Huge loss for the chemistry community. Absolutely loved my time at UPenn. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Amos’ mentorship and the friends I made in the group
We are deeply saddened to share that our friend and colleague Professor Amos B. Smith III has passed away. Amos joined Penn in 1973 and was a mainstay in our organic chemistry division. He recently celebrated 50 years of service to @upenn.edu @pennsas.bsky.social.

The long and ugly story of Cassava Sciences’ supposed Alzheimer’s drug simufilam is finally over. It should have ended well before this.

Skeetorial time! Let’s talk early human dose prediction. Not the fancy, need-tons-of-software and a DMPK pro kind. Just the kind that uses some basic algebra. HDP is a unifying concept for med chemists. It’s the master optimization parameter, and it can’t be easily cheated. 1/

Hard agree with all of this. Basic setting up of profile with pic and bio increases confidence in identity. Not that accounts can’t be spoofed, but it’s a start. My follows are flooded these last few days and I know I’m doing a lousy job of follow-backs. Help me know you’re you!
Hey, new users! Remember how suspicious Twitter egg profiles were?
No one trusts a blank profile.
Set an avatar, set a background, write your bio, and maybe post a couple of times before you start mass-following people, okay?

Next for #NationalChemistryWeek ⚛️ (theme “The Healing Power of Chemistry”), here are some things I think are true that I’ve distilled about drug discovery over time.
This series was originally posted on the other app and was livelier with GIFs, but I’ll record them here anyway.
