OK. I don't want to be negative, but journals..you already have your tables of contents. Why not leave it to authors to share and engage on their work so you don't drown out their voices. Or use a different a different hashtag where you can outcompete eachother for space. just a thought #chemsky
For people looking to download the Cthulhu society logo - it's at the link below #chemsky I don't know how to modify the image for the link share for the projects page..........

Look at this amazing work by my not-on-BlueSky colleague Chris Phenix in Cell Chemical Biology! New activity-based probes of glucocerebrosidase that can distinguish it from other glucosidases in vivo. Big step for studying Gaucher's & Parkinson's disease! #glycotime #chemsky doi.org/10.1016/j.ch...
It's been a tough week, so I'm gonna browse chemsky and make fun of some journals #chemchat shhhh 🤫

It's only stereochemistry if it comes from the Chiralle region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling asymmetry.
It's been a while. I have to go Cram some old textbooks
You will never find AI slop on ChemScrapes. Only pure, unadulterated, joyous, Brendo slop. 🙃 #chemchat
On the way to work I was watching John Oliver and i couldn’t help but notice the ad underneath the video. Uncanny! @lastweektonight.com #LastWeekTonight
25 years ago, while waiting for columns/tlc etc...i used to get distracted. There's more..... #chemchat
Last night we took Bond for a walk around the Esplanade and Fullerton. We saw sooo many people at the Merlion taking pics of the water spouting out of their mouths and other body parts. So we got Bondo in on the act. #singapore
Across my career, the biggest and most personal criticism I ever faced was when publishing a paper on how to decolonise the chemistry curriculum. It was even worse for some of my co-authors. It felt unending and included personal threats and emails to our employer. pubs.acs.org/jceda8/artic...

Folks. No matter what you think - never put a handful of these wasabi peas in your mouth. It cannot be paced out once it’s in there.

Bethany Halford@bethanyhalford.bsky.social · 5d agoIf you're looking for #FridayFun (and games), read @bribarbu.bsky.social's latest #Newscripts column for @cenmag.bsky.social, in which Bri gets the scoop on Multiplet, an NMR game, and bromocriptine, the word that clinched this year's Scripps National Spelling Bee. cen.acs.org/education/sc...
It was my first outing of @chemscrapes.bsky.social's marvellous creation AND I was teaching the CIP rules while wearing a propeller hat and playing a game show-esque lick on a penny whistle.
At the risk of being hypercriticised for actually liking the new ACS logo (I don't think I have to justify it), I'm looking forward to see whether ACS will play with it for earth week, talented 12, pride month, international women's day, etc. So many opportunities to engage. #chemchat
#ChemSky #ChemChat FYI ACS logo change This ACS Webpage has lots of info on the logo change and the expansion of branding
