Editor @sciencemagazine, left this God-forsaken site for bluer pastures (

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

Just came back to tell you I'm gone...

as if you didn't know that,
as if you didn't know my own feed,
as if you never noticed,
that there weren't pancakes in my last tweet😢

Shana tova, find me at Blue Sky

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

I could offer codes

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

Not going to post here much longer. Ownership is too awful. Has there been any active effort to migrate #2solve to Blue Sky? @benjamindickman

@LaurieC555 @CitizenCardenas @skerplaz I always miss the chemistry😂 It’s so ironic

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

@LaurieC555 @CitizenCardenas @skerplaz Did a bunch of folks get sousaphone the other day? I was a little sad I missed that one, though I didn’t have enough time for a concerted effort

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

@douglaswhat Same, or start with 🥧
So close….

Second, a @HartwigGroup collaboration with Qilong Shen and Xiao-Song Xue isolates Cu(III) oxidative addition products from Cu(I) https://t.co/0ayC2RTb4z

Two mechanistic deep dives into copper catalysis from @HartwigGroup in @ScienceMagazine this week. First, an oxidative addition to Cu(II) with a non-innocent ligand in Ullman coupling avoids an unstable Cu(I) precursor https://t.co/7vLMqXFLe1

@ItsAFez66 @ChemistCraig I think the inorganic acids should be considered more structurally, rather than considering the organic acids more formulaically. Like for instance, sulfate is tetrahedral! But you’d never know it just from seeing a bunch of letters.

@Julia_puzzles @LaurieC555 Oh my God—I had no idea there was also a non-chemical use case https://t.co/k7UdRWaa9x

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

@Julia_puzzles @LaurieC555 I love it🤩🤩🤩

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

@iskander Apparently wants to ban the ADL?

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

Can someone fill me in? Is the owner here now just posting rabidly antisemitic content? But folks are still sort of staying, like with ear plugs, because no place else has critical mass yet?

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

@IfanStephens @titiricigroup As I mentioned last time this list trended, apparently being alive isn’t a criterion 🙄

preserving community=good

playing even a small role in keeping a playground for bigots viable=bad

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

I’m contemplating just deleting my account (so I’m not tempted to come back after performatively leaving), but it wouldn’t be easy to reconnect with everyone, and I’m just confused about whether preserving community amid the wreckage is good or bad policy

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

@IBJIYONGI I can’t use fountain pens because I learned to hold a pencil with my hand leaning on the paper and it smears😭 Always regretted it a bit

[Jake Yeston @JakeYeston]

@IBJIYONGI Do you write with fountain pens?
