Hello, scientists all over the world! This is a secondary account of @adibah_ppg, created to focus on her exploration of chemistry in space. Selamat sejahtera!

As a five-year-old living in a tent in a remote Vietnam village, Thuc-Quyen Nguyen dreamt of capturing sunlight in a jar so she could study after dark. She now harnesses the sun’s rays through the development of organic solar cells.

Let's all be 100% clear about this.

Here's a screenshot of some of my WhatsApp settings (under You > Privacy > Advanced).

I have every right to put these settings in place, to protect my privacy and safety in 2026, when I am subjected to scam attempts essentially on a daily basis.

If MACC's WhatsApp number gets blocked by these settings (especially if their account is detected as displaying abberant behaviour, i.e. lots of msgs to non-contacts with no response), that's not my problem.

"Komunikasi rasmi" from any government agency means:
• Letter to my official address
• Email to my work email or verified personal email (depending on context)
• Officer sent to my place of residence
• Anything coming through a legal channel (summons, subpoena, etc)

If MACC only attempted to WhatsApp @JamesJSChai before plastering his face and personal details across the Internet, this is not only grossly incompetent, but also a violation of SOPs used by all government agencies that handle touchpoints with citizens.

There is nothing more dangerous than a gangster-type government who weaponises the state against citizens.

MACC has crossed a line, and this gov (led by Anwar) is backing them up.

No words to describe the experience of seeing an overhead corona aurora at THE SAME TIME as a total lunar eclipse--this happened last night on our aurora workshop. Crazy experience. The aurora was so bright and the snow glowed green under the blood moon.

@ConfessionLocal pls do not normalize teachers updating every single thing in parents-teachers group. Cukup la cikgu sampaikan pd murid2 dlm kelas, lepas tu parents follow up dgn anak. jika tak dpt jawapan ckp dgn anak "esok kau pergi tanya cikgu balik." sejak bila parents jadi PA anak2 sendiri?

I pelik lah guys?? Kenapa eh at the heart of the city, kita penuh makanan arab and not local food? Like kenapa tak penuh indian food chinese food and malay food, instead of all these middle eastern food. Bukan ke situ tourist spot where they can discover more of our national food

Excited to announce that Prof. Ewine van Dishoeck, 2018 Kavli Prize winner in Astrophysics & former IAU President (2018-2021), will visit NISER Bhubaneswar! Join us for her institute colloquium on Nov 14, 2024. A unique chance to learn from one of the leading voices in astronomy!

Those of you who followed our recent detection of 1-cyanopyrene may have wondered about the other two cyanopyrene isomers. In this paper, we report detections of the other two isomers, 2- and 4-cyanopyrene! We discuss what this means for CN addition reactions in TMC-1.

This robin I saw today was so perfectly spherical it made me emotional. She looks like a painting. You can see her brushstrokes

Our detection of 1-cyanopyrene is published today in @ScienceMagazine !

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?

And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.
