Check out my poster on #POM water oxidation catalysis using a Mn-oxo cluster, today at #chemietage2022!
In short: Mn3+/4+ centers allow flexibility needed for ligand exchanges via Jahn-Teller effects, increasing catalytic activity.

In light of #ichbinhanna, please remember that on top of all the instabilities German academia hurls at us, many BIPOCs need VISAS to be here that often depend on having a work contract.
So no contract = no visa, thus adding an extra layer of existential dread.

Someone near you NOT wearing a mask can, in some circumstances, cause you harm. Someone near you wearing a mask can’t possibly harm you unless your feelings are hurt by passive reminders that it’s a considerate and responsible thing to do.

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
FIVE GOOOLD RIIINGS
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

@CEStieger @DeutschePostDHL @postbank Puh, das ist ganz schön frech. Hoffe du hasts wenigstens schon mal sperren können!

I never - repeat "never" - take a breath in any indoor space that is not filtered by an N95. I have been accused of being a bedwetter, "over-anxious". Meanwhile, I have flown a single engined aircraft across the North Atlantic, into some of the roughest, shortest...

The Federal Reserve finally realizes what I’ve been saying since July: our chronic problems with inflation are due to covid, monetary policy is not going to fix it, and the problem doesn’t go away until covid is actually solved for real.

Read our last paper published on the Journal of Computational Chemistry about the #MoBioTools, a toolkit to automatically set up #QMMM calculations from a dynamics trajectory.

Great job by @Gustavoc1993 in collaboration with the whole #MoBioChem group.

Bad takes tend to come with new tech as we figure out how to integrate it into society, and "move fast and break things" favors the financially secure- which artists are generally not.

are thrown out after 7 years with no hope of an academic career in Austria. These conditions lead to steep hierarchies, as ECRs are dependent on their superiors' good will for continued employment, stifling innovation and keeping academia closed to many, not open to all. 4/4

Today, non-tenured faculty and early-career researchers at the university of Vienna demonstrated to fight for better pay, improved working conditions, and the democratization of universities. Follow @nuwiss_at for updates! 1/4

it is also a substantial barrier to entry into academia for many first-generation academics. Postdocs in Austria are now subject to similar employment restrictions as in Germany - while they should be given permanent contracts after 8 years at Uni, practically all of them... 3/4

Hey everyone!

I know a lot of people have been posting their Lensa/other AI portraits lately. I would like to encourage you not to do so or, better yet, not to use the service. These AI seem like harmless fun but they are predatory and intend to replace artists. (1/9)

Update: Just learned I have THREE friends who are women about my age & (prior) health status whose lives have been completely upended by the misery of Long Covid. Surfing to sofa sitting. Marathons to twice-a-day naps. Productive to long-term disability leave.

I’ll keep masking.

@ThePhDPlace I just had my first interview for a post-PhD position, and it didn't go too badly!

Amid the supposed return of free speech to twitter, something to consider:

[The Late Show @colbertlateshow]

Nobel Peace Prize winner @mariaressa says social media has “come in and used free speech to stifle free speech.”

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Holocaust denial violates @Twitter policies. An important step. Do you know when was it introduced?

Although factually similar to flat Earth claims, denial is a dangerous & hideous carrier of antisemitism & hatred. Deniers hate. They insult the memory of the victims.
