After stopping KVPY, @IndiaDST has silently discontinued INSPIRE-SHE scholarship for BS and MS students. This is a nightmare for fundamental science in India. Students were uncertain about this until a certain student from IISc filed RTI. 1/n

"When I draw a molecule in China or in Argentina, it is the same molecule. People understand immediately without knowing Spanish or Chinese. That is beautiful. Our common goal is not about power or borders of the country, it is about bringing forward human knowledge."

At university, you realize that:
1. many students are dumb
2. you’re not particularly smart

🚨 Historical decision by Union Berlin as German club appoint Marie-Louise Eta as their head coach until June.

Union lost at Heidenheim, sacked the head coach Steffen Baumgart and put Marie-Louise Eta in charge until the end of the season.

Ets becomes the first female head coach in the history of men’s Bundesliga.

🌻Rest in peace, Günther Maier. The chemist who made one “impossible molecule” after another died on April 10 at the age of 94.
A Swabian by birth, he began studying chemistry at TH Karlsruhe in 1952, today’s KIT. He worked with Rudolf Criegee and obtained his Diploma in 1957 and his PhD degree in 1959. After a postdoc at Johns Hopkins University @JohnsHopkins with Emil H. White, a pioneer in #photobiochemistry, Maier returned to the Criegee lab and completed his habilitation in 1964. His work then dealt with valence isomerization, a topic about which he wrote a legendary monograph.
#Cyclobutadiene and #tetrahedrane were signature molecules of the Maier lab, which he established in Karlsruhe. From there he moved to the University of Marburg in 1970 and to the University of Giessen in 1978, where he remained until his retirement in 2000.
Not only C₄H₄ but also C₁₀H₁₀ molecules fascinated Günther Maier and the wider chemistry community in the 1960s and 1970s, and he was a grand master of such reactive compounds. While his group isolated cyclobutadiene and tetrahedrane derivatives at room temperature, they also performed matrix-isolation #spectroscopy studies at extremely low temperatures in parallel. In this way, not only reactive hydrocarbon species could be detected, but also heteroatom molecules such as sila- and borabenzene, as well as disilene and disilyne.
One could go on (see figure), but this must suffice to demonstrate the impact of Maier’s work on modern organic chemistry and beyond. More can be found in Maier’s autobiography, “Das war’s—Erinnerungen eines Doktorvaters” (https://t.co/LuNU8knKbQ), published in 2021.
Günther Maier was a modest man who meticulously trained a large number of PhD students. His achievements were recognized with the Adolf von Baeyer Memorial Medal of the German Chemical Society.
PS: His autobiography was the first volume in the “Lives in Chemistry” (LiC) book series, which would not exist without him. He and his former PhD student Karl Reuter were instrumental in starting LiC, which has since grown into a “library” of 15 volumes. Maier was a founding member and later an honorary member of the LiC Advisory Board.

I have zero respect for people who stay neutral all the time. I mean, pick a side. Stand for something. Have an opinion or just admit that you are spineless and stand for nothing.
