Congratulations and Ευχαριστώ dear Nikos Christodoulides. The Cypriot presidency was a real success. You drove forward our EU agenda, from competitiveness to enlargement. Abroad, you built bridges with our partners in the Middle East at a crucial moment.
This is a real threat to national health!

L.-C. Campeau@drlcsquare.bsky.social · 5mo agoAnother paper from our collaboration with Rob Britton’s lab! We’ve been focusing on novel methods to make nucleoside analogues for over 7 years now. This week we published our 2nd Science paper in the area. Congrats to the team! #MerckChemistry www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
New post is up after a while: chemicalg.github.io/2026/02/01/C... Getting commercial availability info by compound name/synonym. @apahl.bsky.social @iwatobipen.bsky.social @greglandrum.bsky.social
Commercial Availability
I recently run into the problem of needing to know on demand whether a compound or reagent is commercially available using only a given name.

Andy Cooper@aicooper.bsky.social · last yr.SDLs raise some new safety questions - here we introduce Chemist Eye, a distributed safety monitoring system designed to enhance situational awareness in SDLs. 👏 for Francisco Munguia-Galeano, who tested it for accident recognition by lying repeatedly on the lab floor. www.arxiv.org/pdf/2508.05148
"PhD level expert ..." Well everyone had to start from somewhere before getting their PhD. I am not sure anyone with a PhD in Chemistry started from there though
Mark Levin@levinchem.bsky.social · last yr.It still can't electron push - here are some of it's attempts at peracid epoxidation. The text description of the mechanism is not bad, but not perfect. Seems unable to connect that to images

happy pi approximation day! mathoverflow.net/questions/67...
Source and context of $\frac{22}{7} - \pi = \int_0^1 (x-x^2)^4 dx/(1+x^2)$?
Possibly the most striking proof of Archimedes's inequality $\pi < 22/7$ is an integral formula for the difference: $$ \frac{22}{7} - \pi = \int_0^1 (x-x^2)^4 \frac{dx}{1+x^2}, $$ where the inte...
