It was an awesome day! Thank you @StevenLopez_neu for sharing your work!

I've put together a few of my favorite discussions on the details of doing molecular dynamics. I'll add more as they come. Hopefully they're useful to you! 🧵1/n

In my profile, I said that I could draw a straight line from my coping strategies as a gay child to my scientific career. In support of this claim, a Twitter thread: Many of the most important things I know about being a scientist I learned from being a musician. 🧵

Final #HTE tweet of the day: I always wondered who came up with #HTE reactor design… who made the first blueprints? Who came up with #photoredox platforms? So, I set up an interview with @chemchristensen and other OGs. And made it a chapter in an upcoming #ACS symposium series.

[Renee Sifri @ReneeSifri]

Hello #chemtwitter! I've been at @Merck for a little over 8 months now and am excited to share with you some of what I've learned so far at #merckcatalysis living the #highthroughputlife 1/x

[Melodie Christensen @chemchristensen]

@procrastiprof and I have always wanted to tell chemistry automation campfire stories of automation experiments gone wrong. I thought a thread on this might be fun. 1/x #merckchemistry #Automation

[Marion Emmert (she/her) @EmmertLab]

Key question around #HTE: Is it too expensive for academia? I personally do not think so… and that’s why I decided to write a #HTE 101 book chapter (currently under review, with @DrStephAnie91), edited by @TheNewmanLab. Basically #howtoHTE 😊

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

What book has had the greatest impact on your thinking?

Not just what you think, but how you think?

Shrink rings, open eyes

Core modification is an open-and-shut case! Congrats to Justin and @SojungKim20, and #MerckChemistry collaborators, Dr. Lux, @yhcolin, @adpressa, and @Charles_chem for their work on a ring contraction of saturated heterocycles now in @ScienceMagazine https://t.co/Fuwjciz6BL

@EmmertLab I like the term "recreational revisions"

[TS Surfer @yhcolin]

Hey @ChemDraw will you consider adding a "side view of an eye" to your wonderful sets of cartoons of bugs, organs, glassware, etc.? I'm annotating a chemical structure with a line of sight to explain how to view a molecule along an axis to get a certain projection. #RealTimeChem

I “voted”!

[J. Am. Chem. Soc. @J_A_C_S]

Online teaching has made me appreciate the role of polls - AW. Which area of chemistry do you think has historically been most underrepresented at JACS?

[TS Surfer @yhcolin]

Thoroughly enjoyed the expt/#compchem discussion in this new paper from @EmmertLab, @cyndihe and coworkers. Congratulations! #merckchemistry

[Marion Emmert (she/her) @EmmertLab]

Well, tweeps, I just woke up to this... so satisfying 😊 https://t.co/DxMzkrLEp0 #myfirstchemicalscience #CHactivation #merckchemistry

@ChemProfCramer Does pencil and paper count as an option

This reaction really changed how I draw buta-1,3-diene, forever..
