@GloriusGroup Fantastic, congrats @GloriusGroup!

Enzymes use strong electric fields to catalyze metabolism. Could abiotic electric fields have kickstarted a proto-metabolism before enzymes? @nnogalchem and Bora's paper in @J_A_C_S hints that, at least for pyridoxal biosynthesis, the answer might be yes.

A milestone day for our team with the publication of our work on biocatalytic cascades for macrocyclic peptide manufacturing. This establishes a new beachhead in the synthesis of this important new modality for the industry! #MerckChemistry

The WSJ wants to know "what happens when Europeans find out how poor they are."

I'm a European running a family office / living in Monaco. Let me run the numbers for Joseph Sternberg.

Spoiler: per-capita GDP is the most misleading stat in this entire debate.🧵

@LabSemenov @BlavatnikAwards Congrats, Sergey!

@angie_rasmussen The key is to avoid FRA and YYZ when flying to Europe from Canada. I love the YOW to CDG flight. YOW security and passport control are a breeze, and CDG has improved in the past decade.

@jacobandrs0n No prompting. He grew up watching reruns of that show and made the connection himself.

My son told our PM that he looks like Mr. Rogers.

[Glen E. McGregor @glen_mcgregor]

Amusing: At an Earth Day event today, this kids tells PMMC he looks like Fred Rogers. Carney doesn't twig to who that is. (I'm assuming the kid is referring to "Mister Rogers" of cardigans and neighbourhood fame.)

[Joseph Moran @MoranLabChem]

@1CanadianPilot @feezy_does_it There is no setup, he grew up watching these shows because we showed them to him. Read the above posts!

[Joseph Moran @MoranLabChem]

@feezy_does_it We showed him some reruns. We like the calmness of some older kids shows like Mr. Rogers, Mr. Dressup and Fred Penner.

[Joseph Moran @MoranLabChem]

@Barb_Here @aperson28671 @glen_mcgregor You bet he does!

[Joseph Moran @MoranLabChem]

@Barb_Here @aperson28671 @glen_mcgregor The kid knows Mr. Rogers' name is Fred because the kid's name is also Fred, and he makes note of other Freds. He made the connection about them looking alike himself. I know this because I'm his dad.

[Joseph Moran @MoranLabChem]

@DayPrsnt @glen_mcgregor This is my son and it's definitely not scripted. We just watch Mr. Rogers reruns.

[Joseph Moran @MoranLabChem]

@RC_Andertweet @Marwilson @glen_mcgregor I'm his father and I can confirm.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

The next generation know that Canada’s land and waters are worth protecting — and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

[Joseph Moran @MoranLabChem]

@aklymchenko @unistra @CNRS Congrats, Andrey! Well deserved!
