AI is more like ay, ay, ay when I look at the results from an open book (no computer, paper only) exam on chemical reaction engineering and data analysis. AI is a black hole for the cognitive skills development of our students. Ay, ay, ay, AI. #chemsky ,🍎🧪🥽
Very happy with our first Julio Iglesias rose in our garden. Looks wonderful, smells amazing.
Many congratulations to Alex Fletcher for passing his PhD viva on polyester dispersions for pressure sensitive adhesives. Many thanks to the examiners profs. Joe Keddie and Dave Haddleton. Proud supervisor! 🥽🧪🍎

Yutong Niu had a great time at Covestro (The Netherlands) with his industrial collaborators. He presented the latest of his PhD research on polycondensations. He taught Warwick Chemistry's undergraduate Anjali Manoj at Covestro (The Netherlands) how to carry out a scaled up polycondensation.
What's the AI-ratio going to be? Take 85 students on a chemical reaction engineering module. The AI-ratio is the average mark obtained in an open book exam where all notes on paper are allowed + pen, paper, calculator divided by the average mark from 5 homework sets. 🧪🥽🍎
What cloud do they live on? Totally not enforceable. 🍎
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 3mo agoUC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.
All ready for the 2nd 2-hour revision class (yep there are 3 of these) for our chemical reaction engineering and data analysis module at the University of Warwick. Pen, paper, basic calculator. No internet, no AI. That's all. 🧪🍎🥽

New “permanently wet” coating method could transform wastewater treatment by helping bacteria survive better
Living bacteria embedded in coatings could clean wastewater, capture carbon and generate biofuels – but only if they survive the manufacturing process. Researchers at the University of Surrey and the ...

As part of my chemical reaction engineering at the University of Warwick, the students had to do 5 homework assignments for marks. These were numerical problem sets. Just finished marking, manually. I think everyone can guess the outcome. 🥽🍎🧪
My colleague Dave Haddleton and I have been teaching our first year students about polymers. One of the assessments is to make a short movie on a polymer product in a specified movie category. Who will win a "Warwick University Oscar" coming Monday? Only a few days to go....
The High Polymer Group meeting was great. It has been so nice to catch up with friends and connect with new people.
On the way! Let's hope for a sunny conference. Looking forward to catching up with people and making new connections. Oh, and let's not forget...great science. 🧪🍎🥽
