One of the most important papers ever written:

‘Is that a threat?’

*gravelly voice with English accent*

‘Now if I were you, and I would not want to be you, I’d make sure I knew the difference between a threat and a promise’

@timgould_scienc @igordownunder We could easily have a thriving car industry here if we were all willing to pay $75k for a basic small hatchback.

I am excited to announce a fully-funded PhD Scholarship in Molecular Bismuth Chemistry (and beyond) is now available in our research group at Flinders University.

@CCguerilla @ragandboneshop For my own work at present settings I have decided anything the damn thing is able to do really well and not totally screw up is probably something we should seek to eliminate for our workflow.

[Jason Dutton @DuttonChemistry]

@CCguerilla @ragandboneshop I suggested we find out what industries in our disciplines are using LLM for and teach the students how to be good at that, but some quick polling of alumni from chemistry suggests it’s moving too fast at the moment for us to be useful. Our course/subject systems ain’t…nimble.

[Jason Dutton @DuttonChemistry]

@ragandboneshop @CCguerilla We had (until 4 days ago apparently, subscription must have run out) an AI tool to help with writing assignments. Fair enough, part of the bleak future I dread. I wondered what would happen if I didn’t like what it suggested and marked a student down accordingly…

[Jason Dutton @DuttonChemistry]

@igordownunder Sounds horrifying. Thoughts and prayers to the injured. All 0 of them.

@igordownunder @CCguerilla I am also up to 0 lifetime machete fights witnessed.

[Jason Dutton @DuttonChemistry]

@igordownunder @CCguerilla I can assure you Melbourne is so safe it’s quaint.

[Jason Dutton @DuttonChemistry]

@igordownunder And there are certainly not roving gangs taking over the streets waving machetes like SkyNews would have one believe.

[Jason Dutton @DuttonChemistry]

@igordownunder Hardly any homeless in Melbourne. They are there but you don’t see them screaming at people on the streets. Any city in Canada is overwhelmed with homeless downtown - I won’t let my kid go downtown alone in London Ontario that’s for sure…meth addicts engage you there.

@SBattenResearch Cool!

[Stuart Batten @SBattenResearch]

Richard Robson always had very small research groups and limited, sporadic funding. This has never been better illustrated than by the acknowledgement slides to the Nobel lectures of Robson, Kitagawa, and Yaghi (only 1 of 4 slides shown below). #ozchem #NobelPrize

The day is upon of yet again. 72 holes to raise money for friends gone too soon.

@atrupar Single greatest game in baseball history? Gotta be close!

[Jason Dutton @DuttonChemistry]

Great victory from Marcus! Want to oxidize something? This’ll do it.

Manjur’s paper on crystallizing and characterizing a boravinylidene is now online in @J_A_C_S. Congrats to @IamMOAkram and our collaborators Kirk French and Kevin Shuford! Check it out here:
