Excellent proposal, high novelty, independent PI with outstanding productivity....and did not get funding. Thank you for many good words, but I prefer money.

@assaron Springer-Nature publisher, IF 6, can not report details due to confidentiality

I found a clear case of fraud data in revision of paper and reported it to editor with a "decline" decision. Editor returned me paper back with even more manipulated images. Why should I spent my time if publishers just want to get APC ?

Our review on EPR effect and beyond it in @ADDReditors is the most cited among published in 2025. Congrats! @IarBelyaev @zelepukiny

An amusing detail: the authors of a paper did not exist - the journal invented names in order to publish volume and get citations. #papermill

Today one of my colleagues' paper was found published in an Asian journal with a completely new authors list. Apparently this journal make it repeatedly, and every 2nd paper is copy-past from some random European paper without mentioning the real team of the project.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi have been awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry for the development of a new type of molecular architecture.

In 1989, chemistry laureate Richard Robson tested utilising the inherent properties of atoms in a new way. He combined positively charged copper ions with a four-armed molecule; this had a chemical group that was attracted to copper ions at the end of each arm.

When they were combined, they bonded to form a well-ordered, spacious crystal. It was like a diamond filled with innumerable cavities.

Today Springer-Nature community renamed my role from "Trusted Reviewer" to "Reviewing Editor". Nothing changes in responsibility, just a fun title for a CV.

Today I signed a Sanctions Compliance Certification confirming I’m not affiliated with US sanctioned Russian organization (MIPT) and can publish paper in ACS journals. But how many years will rejections follow me just because I was a physics student in 2021?

Monday-Thursday: writing; Friday: experiments; Weekends: panic about writing. Is it what postdoc life looks like?

[Ivan Zelepukin @zelepukiny]

How many emails deep is too deep before it’s time to start a new conversation thread with collaborators?

[Ivan Zelepukin @zelepukiny]

Found one of my papers on PubPeer. A user flagged a real mistake in the Supplementary (we’ll share raw data, thanks!)—but is it fair to anonymously post 10+ claims about “missing scale bars” in places where they aren’t even needed?

New apartments are on the ground floor and IKEA is closed. Set a camping tent inside the room until my curtains arrive.
