The cover depicts β-naphthol red pigments, found by the @RuncevskiLab at @SMU to be hydrazones rather than azo compounds.

Art comes so natural to Pigment R4! We just let it crystalize and look at these sculptures and elaborated paintings on the vial's walls! I really enjoyed this fun project with @Mat_Heeney and Daniel! https://t.co/UpARjMcGIO

This is such an excellent and important paper, and it makes me super happy to see that the authors used one of our solutions as a good example https://t.co/lMWKgndww7

We are having fun at the #IonicLiquid @GordonConf but missing our friends who couldn’t make it here: Nate Larm @JoshuaSangoro @shawchem @AnjaMudring Leo Bañuelos and others

@ChemGary @ChemGary when I come to visit Mizzou in October I expect a show!

According to this excerpt from an actual job ad, asst/assoc professors occasionally bend/stoop/twist, they occasionally walk, and perhaps more importantly, they occasionally kneel and squat. At least they are not required to twerk.

@starsarecalling @JHUAPL @NASAJPL @DragonflyNASA @ParkerSunProbe That's so cool! Have fun!

If you think the weather is hot, have in mind that this is probably the coldest summer of the rest of your life. #ClimateEmergency

@AJCruzCabeza @ICCOSS_Ohrid I love this!

[Tom Runčevski @RuncevskiLab]

@Gassensmith It looks ✨awesome✨

@KM_Hutchins @MartinWard_xtal We usually do DFT optimization with Crystal17, using a very simple modified functional B3LYP-D*. Sure, this is just to relax the structure, this is not a top theoretical calculation at all :)

@ivana_evans @TParacVogt @MiljanicGroup @ivana_brekalo Prekrasno! By the way, speaking of Balkan music, on the flight from Zagreb to Skopje after the EPDIC17 I shared the row with Vlatko Stefanovski

@kieslichgroup I don’t know when it started, but I know when it should have stopped: few seconds before authors abbreviated “coordinatively unsaturated metal” centers. I’m not even joking.

Advice to (new) PI: use a separate email address when asking for quotes or for any correspondence with vendors really. Any vendor.

@Gassensmith This poll is vile.

[Tom Runčevski @RuncevskiLab]

@esvenssongrape @Wiley_Chemistry The fact that someone needed to go though the hassle of coding this...

[Tom Runčevski @RuncevskiLab]

The way how @Wiley_Chemistry journals present PDFs on their websites it’s a perfect example of trying to improve something that doesn’t need improvement, and somehow making it worse.
