Want to get involved in #OpenScience chemistry projects towards new bioactive molecules that will be tested? Meeting of @MycetOS tmrw 10 a.m. London time, all welcome. https://t.co/lRy15XifsN Come along if you'd like to find out more! #crowdsourcing#orgchem@ResearchInSch@DNDi
Such a good talk - lots of great tips on handling career changes, dealing with failure and generally figuring out what you might want to do with your scientific experience.
Thanks @ivyhish 🙏 for being our guest speaker at our Sydney Uni Chem Soc annual symposium! @SydneyChemistry
Super interesting career journey from research to media, and a ton of amazing illustrations #FattypusThePlatypus
📣 USYD Science Students and Faculty members! Reminder to register to attend the Science HDR Conference on 4th October ⏰ Lots of great talks and posters lined up from students across the faculty 💊🔭🌿🧠🌏

Just picked up some samples made by our first year undergraduate students as part of our @_breakinggood x @MycetOS project - if all has gone well, that's five novel aminothiazole compounds ready for testing against mycetoma!
Just finished a task I've been putting off since the end of July - it took less than an hour, including the time wasted as I struggled to remember exactly what/how much I had to do and where I'd saved data. No further comment.
Cheeky bit of #CitizenScience from @eafulton in her wonderful keynote on the value of maths in a climate changed world - here we see a map of changing species distribution based on data collected from scuba divers and other community members.
The story of how biologists were using DMSO to test platinum-containing compounds, not realising that the DMSO reacted with the compounds, is a perfect example of why cross-discipline collaboration is so deeply important. Working together really does just make our work better!
Such a fascinating talk from @cispt2 on his work on translational science at @NIH - particularly on how they're challenging the reproducibility crisis and finding new ways to share scientific work as efficiently as possible.
@Asher_Wolf A question I have: how useful it is to frame Robodebt as a ‘failure’ when it was very much a successful extension of a disciplinary welfare system. When we think about it that way we can ask what is the purpose of digital automation? Who gets to define this?
My first paper has been accepted! As a kid I always wanted to be a writer so I'm very excited that I'll soon be able to say I'm a published author even if it's not quite the way I was thinking of it back then 😂
Specifically, soon you'll be able to read all about @krscroggie and my adventures using @github as an electronic lab notebook in the name of #OpenScience!
I guess it's BC i love to cook so much but like...using recipes completely divorced from the culture and individuals that made and use them seems so much less /interesting/? I love hearing about where they discovered a dish, or why they altered a traditional recipe etc
Saw a friend recommending using chatgpt for recipes instead of googling them bc "it saves having to scroll past ads or boring blog posts" and it just feels like one of the most depressing applications of it so far
I feel this is especially relevant given that the workplace is slooowly recognising that the 9-5 workday relies on the assumption that you have a (non-working) wife at home to do all those kinds of chores - which obviously is not the case for most of us 🙃
Ofc I don't want to WFH all the time but the biggest ~productivity~ benefit of it to me is being able to do those small household chores like hanging out washing, having a tradie fix something, going to the post office etc that usually eat into my weekend otherwise
