Chemiolis

Chemist, on youtube, doing educational chemist things. Mainly Org Chem and Pharma with a sprinkle of inorganic.

@NurdRage That's because there is now >70% less insect biomass 😍

I don't believe Fischer indole is a real reaction

Some more coverage of our Chemistry YouTube research by @StrathChem students. This time in RSC Chemistry World! 🙂

@LindorffLarsen @swgerritz With how slow proteins move through the gel it isn't really too crazy that molecular interactions with the gel have an impact on its rf. You can probably explain the difference by comparing their structure and how many outward-facing groups are available to interact with the gel

[Chemiolis @chemiolis]

@LEMacKz Definitely. Physicists also just like to come up with a new particle or theory of gravity every week so there's a lot of content to talk about. To talk about an obscure transformation or the new synthesis of a random molecule is... not so interesting. Even for chemistry lovers.

[Chemiolis @chemiolis]

@LEMacKz There's really a lot to say about it and the comparison between fields. To do practical chemistry generally requires more knowledge than just talking about a concept in physics/biology, which is also a hurdle.

Thanks, I did see the mention and was pleasantly surprised ;)

[Chemiolis @chemiolis]

@LEMacKz Definitely, but easier talking also makes it so that physics and biology are much more prevalent on YouTube, as opposed to chem where you would need capital to buy equipment to even start. Though actual applied biology (think biotech lab) is even more of a hurdle with cost.

[Chemiolis @chemiolis]

@LEMacKz I feel like it's largely because unlike physics and biology, chemistry communication mostly hasn't devolved into the pop-sci click-bait we see there. It's easy to talk about concepts, make thought experiments and ponder/fantasize about physics/biology, for chemistry not so much

[Lewis MacKenzie @LEMacKz]

I love YouTube chemistry channels, so my team have produced a first-of-a-kind study analyzing over 1600 channels producing Chemistry-related content. 🧵👇

@DJGould94 Or known fraudulent authors still being able to publish 🤡

@ScottBruner12 Tracking number should be in the shipping confirmation email from the store/squarespace. You can use that on the USPS website. The tracking tells me that all of the shipments should have arrived by today.

@That_Chemist At least it's cut clean

[Chemiolis @chemiolis]

@blacknox6 I feel like even at that it does a poor job in effectively teaching the underlying chemistry because it's such a mindnumbing technique where you are just 'required to do math' and write down your data. Feels like wasted lab hours (that you pay for).

[Chemiolis @chemiolis]

@NelsonMLchemist I feel the technique is too uncommon to be a standard method that is taught in long boring lab hours that could be used more effectively. In a BSc where inorganic doesn't exist! It is of course useful where it is necessary, but 99% of chemists probably don't touch it ever again

[Chemiolis @chemiolis]

@SjoerdSlagman Probably bad, it doesn't smell so great

[Chemiolis @chemiolis]

The tongue is truly a marvelous piece of analytical equipment

[Chemiolis @chemiolis]

@Explosions_Fire I have molecule

[Chemiolis @chemiolis]

@endless_sine I didn't, but there's probably not much I can do about people reuploading on other random websites. On YouTube I can just force delete their content or copyright claim on other big platforms. These random sites likely aren't even worth the effort to claim.

Person who drew this should go to jail

@CodysLab Sorry to hear that, the government did you dirty. Odd to be stopped at thorium when you can just buy the compounds in all those negative ion products lol
