Excited to speak at the Oxford Seminar in the History of Alchemy and Chemistry. I’ll discuss how big data, computational, and mathematical tools are revealing new insights into the history of chemistry—both at the macro and micro levels https://t.co/Lvsy05IRGC #chemistry #history

A pleasure to share this piece in Nature Chemistry, in which I discuss the limited diversity of chemical space and propose two strategies to expand it. https://t.co/iHnSu4zxDR #chemistry #AI

Thrilled to announce that from April 1, 2026, I’ll join the editorial team of Theory in Biosciences as Editor-in-Chief, alongside Peter Stadler and Kelin Xia. This journal has been a beacon for research at the intersection of biology, chemistry, maths, and philosophy of science

Today, more than ever, we must ask what science really is—and what it is not. Without clear criteria for scientific discovery, the dream of a Nobel Turing Test will remain elusive. The humanities have much to say here. #AI #science #humanities https://t.co/OMbphmbLSx

[Guillermo Restrepo @restrepog]

Happy to lecture at the Institute for Studies of Science (ISoS) in Bielefeld. I will discuss how knowledge on the historical unfolding of chemistry turns fundamental to escape the dangers of the Anthropocene https://t.co/GMVhuH9e1P #history #chemistry #Anthropocene
