@MrEwanMorrison @MX_Chevalier_XM No problem. Turns out @TinEye is much better for reverse image search than the other service you probably used :-)

@smd4 @cgingold This looks awesome! Is it possible to get access to the beta version?

@leecronin Not everyone has the luxury to live in a liberal democracy respecting the freedom of speech. I can imagine that many regimes on this planet would be more than happy to see this idea implemented.

@JPFrancoia @V_Saggiomo @NotHF @Chemjobber @SuperScienceGrl I see one obvious purpose (although too politically incorrect to be added to the paper): making small amounts of controlled substances, eliminating the necessity to deal with shady people ;-)

Jean-Pierre Sauvage is at pains to deny that he is a genius: the honest and humble Frenchman claims he ‘digests’ molecules. He took a risk in 1982 and jumped into a new field. “We published in Tet Lett in 1983 and ‘suicidally’ in French w/ no thoughts of a Nobel Prize in mind

@sirfrasersays I guess it's one of the last vestiges of the good old times when scientists had know at least three languages... At there was a proper motivation to learn more than just English.

@V_Saggiomo @andrewbissette Oh, right. The primordial data soup ;-)

[Piotr Nowak @pnowak87]

@GriceChemistry @andrewbissette @V_Saggiomo Damn, can't read. I thought this was a form for systems chemistry papers!

[Piotr Nowak @pnowak87]

@V_Saggiomo @andrewbissette Would you mind sharing a photo related to that idea we spoke about? Because there were tons of them...

@stuartcantrill I can live with IFs determining something as trivial as discounts in a restaurant. But it's a slippery slope; soon somebody might get an idea to use IFs for hiring or promoting scientists!

This is the kind of #RealTimeChem I do these days. Nucleic acids, enzymes, and dyes. I hope it counts!

Synthesizing DNA strands is difficult. Why not just make them build themselves? New from the Wyss! https://t.co/JdaX53s8ea @wyssinstitute

[Piotr Nowak @pnowak87]

We can now do DNA computing by synthesizing new DNA molecules, thanks to Josie Kishi and friends from the Yin Lab @wyssinstitute

@Ella_Maru #4. Probably because of the high contrast and saturation.
