@ChemMouse @KozyCanuck Seems like a lot of these are left up to PIs, but what if they don’t (or won’t) do a good job? We’ve certainly seen high profile examples where the PI perpetuates a culture of questionable ethical conduct. These are the cases we know about…
Do we still teach students about ethics in research/science?? Seems like something that should be a requirement in every science program…If you haven’t previously seen/read “On Being a Scientist” (The National Academies Press, https://t.co/0ktOjM3t8r ) it’s a great resource.
@ChemMouse @KozyCanuck But then there are so many other things that also need to be addressed, such as:
- mentoring
- data management and manipulation
- how do we address errors
- authorship and allocation of credit
- competing interests
Etc. Even chemical safety has a role…
I mean, come on! Isn’t it enough that we chemists draw the ire of so many doctors who had to survive organic chemistry? Now the astrophysicists are after us??? 🤣🤣🤣 /3
An astrophysicist (Pauline Barmby) over on Bluesky shared this with me today. Fellow chemists, I am affronted. I am deceased even 😵😵😵 /1

Yesterday #maingroup chemistry was on full display at the @bruker-@MIT symposium! Excellent talks by @organomimetic, @tbaumlab, Jane, and @chitnislab! It was also great to see students and faculty from nearly all of the Boston area schools.
@chitnislab @sean_t_barry @KMMarczenko Every time I walk by Saurabh’s office I see some new gadget. The other day he had his monitor in portrait mode, and…I…did not know you could do that 🤯🫨🙀
📢The IRIS conference will be in Halifax (🇨🇦), July 21-25, 2024!
The org team, led by Charles Macdonald and Jason Clyburne, invites you to this premiere, long-running main group chem series.

“Celebrity academics” - Why is this a thing?!? I get the part about educating the public about academia and esp. about science. But the glitz and glamour and tabloids bit? Not so much. It’s gross. Do not condone.
