"How the fossil fuel industry deliberately misled Americans about climate change": https://t.co/5RpnpsPkZb
Shame on the fossil fuel industry for showing such callous disregard to the health and well being of our planet!

@ChemistryKit @ProfFerrous Highly recommend South Korea! We do get xmas day off out here because of the relatively large christian population, but it's nothing like the madness of the west. It's pretty cold here but there's still lots to do, Korean spa, ice skating, palace visits, street food, etc. 😁

@Dr_Grebennikova @UoMSciEng @ChemEngManUni @DaltonNuclear Congrats Tatiana! Hopefully see you out in Korea soon 😁

Two papers back from the reviewers (same journal), one has 10 "suggested" papers to cite, the other has 19. Papers are obviously published by the reviewers and are not relevant to the submitted manuscript. Sort it out @ElsevierConnect! #Elsevier #Academia #Editor

@ConradGoodwin @Elamanor @RealTimeChem I get "manganesium" a lot and am never sure which one they're referring too. Though in fairness, English isn't the first language in my lab... 🤪

@ConradGoodwin The joys of air travel.... I had a bag decide to stay in Hong Kong for a month without me once.

Despite the slew of lanthanide molecular magnets, and the clear design direction being taken, an understanding of what makes some record smashers, and others not, eludes us. Nick and co take a peak under the hood and report some trends missed previously. #RealTimeChem #Magnetism

@ConradGoodwin @AndryjBorys @IUPAC @TEAS_Actinides We had some in my old lab in Sheffield 😉

@D_Breezy19 Pretty much spot on. The glovebox has a fluorescent light so only emits certain frequencies, causing the colour to change.

[James Amphlett @j_amphlett]

NdCl3, glovebox light vs. natural light. F-elements are definitely the coolest 🤘 #ChemTwitter

@_thinblacklines @Kris_Fidanovski @heydebigale I think I'd prefer to drink that tbh! 🍹

[James Amphlett @j_amphlett]

Works with the solid as well! #ChemTwitter

@ConradGoodwin @millsgroupchem One of my most vivid memories of revision is laughing about that when you got back from the interview! 🤣 Shame I don't remember all the chem we learnt...

[James Amphlett @j_amphlett]

@JoshuaSGoodman @clairecorkhill We asked for a breakdown of these for an industry funded project in my PhD research group, it did not go well...

[James Amphlett @j_amphlett]

@ConradGoodwin @ndchiappini Using that logic we can say that some bacteria can use uranium as an oxygen source then right?

[James Amphlett @j_amphlett]

@ConradGoodwin Ill try, but it might be a long video! 😂

Blue -> pink = tetrahedral -> octahedral cobalt. Making ICP-OES samples from deep eutectic solvents. Shows off the slow kinetics when working with viscous fluids. 😂 #chemistry #chemtwitter

After 5 years of white, various shades of beige, and the occasional pale yellow, I have finally made turquoise! #chemtwitter

When I got my fellowship in Korea I did not think I'd be off to see Judas Priest in Seoul! 🤟😝 #stayinschoolkids #sciencetravel
