🧪 🔬 🔭 Calling all STEM students who studied in the UK! Our amazing freelancer (and former intern) Victoria wants to hear from you. How has your Plan 2 student loan affected you? Are you struggling with debt? Have you been forced to leave science? https://t.co/RbUid5bDs6

@rlaugenjs @NOELreports @Partiet Euractiv. They're usually decent on general reporting across Europe, don't know how they fare on Norway in particular https://t.co/rNyG3zf974

A ban on most uses of DCM was finalised by the US EPA in May 2024, with consumer use of DCM to be phased out within 1 year and most industrial uses within 2. With the Trump administration seeming poised to continue the plan, labs are bracing for change.

Almost 1000 events across 78 countries will be held on February 24 to support Ukraine.

Events to commemorate the third anniversary of the Russian invasion are already happening across the world.

I am grateful to all those who have come out to support Ukraine today and plan to do so tomorrow, especially at a moment like this.

The campaign Stand With Ukraine is organized by the Ukrainian World Congress. You can find an event near you on their website: https://t.co/4c1z7kPGvZ

@hacp81 @svtvetenskap You could do worse than have a look at ChemBark's list! https://t.co/AU2LEC8zt4

No time to update, so I’m sticking with last year’s Nobel🏅odds. Just ignore the winners ☺️ and decedents 😔. My personal choice would be for DNA synthesis to finally be recognized.

You’ve probably heard of semaglutide, or its tradename Ozempic. But what you might not be familiar with are the difficulties in making the peptides themselves.

@cenmag You let the opportunity to squeeze in 'forbidden donuts' in that editorial go begging! 🤣

@DrMLHarris Tbf it was quite a niche sub tweet 😉

@DrMLHarris Looking at you UKRI!

Rise and Fall of Oasis, simply an amazing music docu with knowledgeable presenters (Whiley & Lamacq) who were there and unrivalled access to the squabbling brothers at the heart of one of the 90s greatest bands. Amazing opener. For those that were there! https://t.co/y1u7VdedW8

Lovely bit of physics. The plates are in a so-called metastable state (low entropy) and need to be nudged over an energy barrier in order to roll down an energy hill to reach equilibrium (high entropy).

Even the most famous scientists have rough days. Charles Darwin, for example wrote: “But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything.”

Please RT! @BrianHie and I are hiring joint @arcinstitute postdocs to work on ML in biology. Projects include reimagining synthetic gene circuits, mechanistic interpretability, and controllability. Recent work includes genome design with Evo, an AI foundation model trained on DNA to learn the language of evolution

@L_Howes Glad to hear you thought it was worth a listen too. Powerful to hear about intergenerational trauma caused by a chemical disaster. And people are still dealing with such catastrophic events to this day - horrible
