The truth is that the scientific process is horribly inefficient and wasteful. But the solution is NOT cutting funds and it’s NOT top down guidance of what should be studied. Instead, we should revolutionize how we publish and improve peer review.
Efficient synthesis of methylated (pi)-extended aza-arenes via iron-catalyzed C-H annulation with 2-butyne. A sustainable alternative to rhodium catalysis for (pi)-conjugated substrates! @paradiseshang • https://t.co/VopOcwEzMU
"We fail much more than we ever succeed. We know that. We accept that. We're amazing at dealing with failure. That's what scientists do."

Did you know that Australia is the largest exporter of iron in the world? They produce over 50% of iron globally!
Do we have any followers who study iron chemistry? #Pacifichem2025
@NaturePortfolio@Nature The amorphous carbon formation by an HAT process seems unbelievable.
Does a defluorinative HAT process provide C-H bond from C-F bond?
Then how can CH product form amophous carbon ?
The reported KF generation in 96% yield from PTFE is too perfect to believe. @MiyakeLabGroup
Two papers in @Nature present new approaches to break down poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) using light-activated catalysts into more recyclable byproducts.
