What do you mean boring? MOFs are a fascinating area of chemistry. Outside of nature, they are most likely our best example of rationally designed nanoscale systems. In chemistry, rational design - that based on rules -…
Ok so I am always interested in these papers as a chemist. Often, we find that the LLM are terrible at chemistry. This is because the lived experience of a chemist is fundamentally different from the education they…
Loads of shit in the basement in the chemistry department, physics dept. etc. There's quite a few lead sarcophagus that we've labelled no go ha.
I was taught by J. M. Barrie’s nephew. A wonderful person that had a great impact on my desire to become a scientist despite my earlier failings and shortcomings. He was so well regarded.
Maybe he conflates discovery with accident. Materials science searches chemical space and makes discoveries. There is no accident in that kind of discovery?
Personally my favourite is a thread here: https://x.com/uberstuber/status/1736489420466110843?s=46 It probably deserves a HN post of its own!
Ok so these are my personal experiences as an “intelligent” scattered ADHD type. Meditation works, exercise works, medication works, talk therapy works, organisational systems work. Organisational systems emerge as a…
Hahahahaha. 99% of chemistry is done this way. The term used is 'serendipitous' - aka I accidentally grabbed the wrong bottle. Honestly.
Ha. Old Prof. in my department - primary research on silica is a real stickler for the differentiation of these. Loves berating unsuspecting undergrads that talk of silicone.
Yeah I mean this is high-school level chemistry, right?
Hahahahah. Nature. Integrity. Fuck me.
Absolutely love this. This is actually something I have thought about myself many times. I imagine in future it will be that swarms of idea generating agents running through qualifying agents. Similar to how a human…
Sorry fellas I was baked. Yeah basically that's the cricket. If solutions they use are higher than those in the 'real world' it's actually a much bigger challenge than one would think at a first pass. Seeking a 1 ppm…
By the way this is ridiculously sensationalised. Would love to see the world rid of nonsense chem journalists. They’re operating about 200 ppb at lowest conc. usually we’re looking to remove from a 1 ppb. Low quality…
Just started using org mode recently. I keep getting pulled into things like obsidian and so on. But then I just cannot logically move from org mode to obsidian. Org mode is so feature complete. It doesn't take long on…
Bullshit. Journals select for novelty, this is true. But this is novelty in a trifling fashion, like teaching a dog to roll over. The entire system, at least in the UK is set up to actively discourage risky research…
Maybe a misunderstanding on your part but the thesis is usually constructed directly from research papers. In some places you may graduate simply by publication. No thesis required.
Small talk is difficult, it feels awkward. I used to have massive problems with it. But I stress this, you will get there. It's as simple as asking questions. You need to learn the difference between being overly…
