If you don’t have 25+ tabs containing journal articles that you’re “going to read soon” open at all times, are you even a scientist?

[Raissa Twi @TwiRaissa]

@varaprasadk2 You can find them on the Notre Dame website! Wish you luck

This is so fun

[The Journal of Immaterial Science @JImmatSci]

On April 1st, @SigmaAldrich challenged chemists to make this absurd molecule. Today, we give our answer. We report the total synthesis of the elseviamine Rashnovinol A from methamvaniline and ipso-xylene

"You don't have to work all the time, but you should think all the time."

Remembering chemistry laureate Robert Grubbs who has passed away aged 79.

Grubbs was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in metathesis, which opened up opportunities to produce many new molecules.

Remembering one of the most powerful and distinguished storytellers of our time: Toni Morrison.

She became the first African American woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize when she received the literature prize in 1993.

What's your favourite book by Toni Morrison?

Happy #MoleDay! Right now it's 6:02am on 23 October, aka, 6:02 10/23 in the US date format. Chemists out there will notice this date and time resembles Avogadro's number, a basic measuring unit, which defines the number of particles in one mole of substance.

"It was the invention of the word ’organocatalysis’ that really ignited the field."

Read this article from 2007 about the birth of organocatalysis, featuring interviews with new chemistry laureates David MacMillan (shown) and Benjamin List.
