The hegemony of cationic olefin metathesis catalysts has ended. We report anionic water-soluble catalysts with improved water-stability and productivity. 🌊 Congrats to Christian and Richard! @ACSCatalysis @uOttawaScience

I've started @uOttawa as an Assistant Professor in Chemistry! I'm looking for motivated PhD and Masters students to join my research team, focusing on fluorophores and super-resolution microscopy. Interested? DM me! #hiring #phd #masters #chemistry #uOttawa

Writing ideas on a blackboard is the best.

[Nautilus Magazine @NautilusMag]

Why can't scientists, physicists, and mathematicians give up blackboards?

“You don’t imagine something first and then write it down. It’s through the act of writing that ideas make themselves known.”

This is an important message about the importance of advocacy!
But the title is misleading - the increased pay for PhD and postdocs is only for those with scholarships. The majority of PhDs and postdocs are funded through research grants, which continue decline in real dollars.

This is the first of many steps involved in understanding energy use both on Mars & here on Earth! Modifying crops will allow us to grow with fewer available resources. This step is crucial to our #Aplusforenergy project! @insideeducation @ian_doktor @SteveBergens @Mr_Canterbury

Another day to remind us to hug your loved ones.

And please be decent human beings, in life, as well as on social media.

Just retweeting this to give it a little boost, folks.

[Steve Bergens @SteveBergens]

I am happy to let you know that there is a position available immediately for a postdoctoral researcher in my group in the area of photoelectrochemistry related to solar fuels. Please contact me if you are interested in joining this exciting project.
