This is probably methylene blue, which was originally ab industrial dye but has show to be biologically active and was used as an effective early malaria treatment. We know that, at the wrong doses, it is neurotoxic, but there are worm and mouse studies that small doses could have small positive effects on memory and longevity.

There have been a couple small human studies that have shown small effects and others that have shown no effect. This is true of many compounds that turn out to have no (or negative) effect on human biology. It has become a meme supplement with lots of exaggerated claims in the pseudo-health space. There is no robust research that it has positive impacts on people, which makes it sound like “well it might!!” And yeah, it might, but, like, anything might. And if we don’t know it works at all, we /definitely/ don’t know the dose that is effective and safe, which does make the eye droppers full of it concerning.

The point is we don’t know and RFK jr. very clearly prefers vibes to the methods of science.

This month's graduate symposium at @UCIChemistry was headlined by our talented second-year, @njmattfurry. We're keeping things under wraps for now, but we're very excited to share his findings with you in due time!

This chemistry is tremendous. So much synthetic utility and without the use of expensive precious metals.

@marioagav big column, big separation

Wow undergrad sure flew by, quite sad to say goodbye. Incredibly thankful for my family, friends, and professors for supporting me in my scientific endeavors these past four years at @Stockton_edu. Stoked for the future and to start studying and doing research at @UCIChemistry.

Cooking is like chemical experimentation except the data work up and analysis is eating.
