Flere forskere oplever pres på deres forskningsfrihed
Nyt kodeks er et vigtigt skridt fremad, men reelle forbedringer i praksis kræver fx minimumstandarder for, hvordan institutioner støtter forskere under pres #dkforsk @BrianArlyJac i @uddmonitor https://t.co/dWZVoQIxRT

See themes and symposia titles at https://t.co/rebrWvbZmT many topics to choose from and plently slots still available for talks! 🇸🇪🇩🇰🤩

Der er landet en aftale for de statsligt ansatte, der bl.a. sikrer mere i lønposen, øget fleksibilitet og bedre vilkår for børnefamilierne
- Vi har landet en aftale, der trækker mere i retning af et bæredygtigt arbejdsliv, siger @JanneGleerup #OK26 #dkpol https://t.co/gXRnUQYe6A

This summer, the 46th ICCC will take place in Denmark. As part of the conf., @carolhua.bsky.social and I are org. a symposium on chemical sensing using inorg. and hybrid materials (inc. MOFs). We would be happy to see contrib. from researchers at all stages of their careers.

Happy to share the first article of 2026🎉

Instead of tuning silver nanocluster fluorescence via DNA base sequences, we modified the sugar backbone using XNAs, expanding the chemical space to tune emission properties.

The BBC censored my line about Trump's corruption, turned off the comment section on YouTube, and sat on the video versions for three weeks...

... still, I’m genuinely glad to see so many people watching (and commenting on) my Reith Lectures 🥳.

Here's the first one:

Big thanks to Leticia for a great collaboration and big respect to Ana María Pablo-Sainz-Ezquerra and Marta Rubio-Huertas for huge effort on this demonstration of how metal organic frameworks can be used to encapsulate functional proteins

[Peter W. Thulstrup @pwthuls]

New paper out in Materials Today Bio in work led by Leticia Hosta-Rigau at @DTU_HealthTech @The3Bsgroup on ZIF-8 MOF's used for artificial red bloods. Dual-function hemoglobin-encapsulating ZIF-8 nanoparticles ... https://t.co/up3uikVHTF @CHEMUCPH #MaterialsTodayBio #bioinorganic

Very happy to share this publication from a @CHEMUCPH collaboration with Niklas Fischer and Christian Marcus Pedersen with Alicja Bałuta and Maciej Szpak from Warsaw: UV-mediated anomeric activation - now out in @OrgBiomolChem https://t.co/UjNOnG8GIv

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi was born in Amman, Jordan, in 1965 to parents who were refugees from Palestine. When we spoke to him he shared his story:

“I grew up in a very humble home, we were a dozen of us in one room, sharing it with the cattle that we used to raise. I was born in a family of refugees, and my parents could barely read or write. My father finished sixth grade and my mother couldn’t read or write. It’s quite a journey. Science allows you to do it. Science is the greatest equalising force in the world.

Smart people, talented people, skilled people exist everywhere. That’s why we really should focus on unleashing their potential through providing them with opportunity.”

Today Yaghi shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson for their work developing metal–organic frameworks.

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”

Tribute to Sine Larsen
It is with great sadness I see that Sine passed away a few days ago. She was a wonderful mentor, colleague, and an exceptionel scientist and leader. She will be missed ❤️ https://t.co/DsxfWfDutw

Stor ros til #dkpol - mere realistisk løsning på flere erhvervskandidater i Kandidatreform og en løbende evaluering, som vi i @Akademikerne naturligvis vil arbejde for at bidrage positivt til.

[Stinus Lindgreen @stinuslindgreen]

Jeg har skrevet lidt i @Altingetdk om vigtigheden af at investere i forskning, og om hvorfor jeg mener, at vi i dag ikke fordeler pengene optimalt. Vi kunne få langt mere ud af det, hvis vi gentænkte ideen med forskningsreserven.

[Stinus Lindgreen @stinuslindgreen]

For nogle uger siden snakkede jeg med @ForskerforumDk om mit syn på forskningspolitik og fordelingen af forskningsreserven. Artiklen er ude i dag - tilfældigvis samtidig med offentliggørelsen af årets aftale.

[Camilla Gregersen @DMCamilla]

Regeringen vil spare på administration i staten, men de 1000 sparede årsværk rammer også forskning, selvstændige vidensorganisationer og værdifuldt lokalkendskab.
Gentænk besparelserne på viden, #dkpol. @christinabarfoe @aldreraad

.#dkpol vil ændre drastisk på unges uddannelse – og ingen har spurgt underviserne, hvad de mon tænker om ideen - de gjorde det samme med #folkeskolen i 2014 (og hvordan gik det nu? 🙄) og med #universiteterne i ‘23. Det er åbenbart en strategi! #uddpol https://t.co/IhM5Fyc3ee
