Rare earth elements power your phone, your car, even MRI machines, but extracting them has an environmental and geopolitical cost. JHU researchers are rethinking that: recycling magnets, using plants as miners. "It's all about the electrons." @grace-panetti.bsky.social hub.jhu.edu/magazine/202...
Heavy metals
Rare earth elements are crucial for our modern age. Crucial, too, is solving the environmental challenges surrounding them.

@f-angular-momentum.bsky.social · 4mo agoCalling all f-element enthusiasts - please join us next week, March 31, 12 pm ET for excellent talks from Prof. Jason Khoury (@ASU_SMS) & Prof. Stephen Liddle (@OfficialUoM)! Reg: Email Prof Robinson! #fblock #chemsky
I was in the lab when this started and it began my love of paracyclophanes! Now I just need an excuse to work with them…

PSA to aspiring graduate students: If you have a submitted or pre-printed publication, **please** list it on your CV, mention it in your research statement, and in the application. Don't leave out the one thing that can make your application automatically higher ranking! #GradSchool Pls RT
happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜
The Panetti Lab officially has funding! Thank you to the ACS PRF for funding our work looking into CO2 functionalization with light. cen.acs.org/acs-news/pro...
ACS Board approves 112 new PRF grants
The fall 2025 grants total $12,475,000 in researcher investments

A university that signs the “compact” is one that acknowledges its own inability to compete and succeed based talent and merit. It would signal insecurity and mediocrity to current and future students and faculty. Say no. Recruit the best people, protect their freedom and support their hard work.
Our first paper from the lab is officially published! Glad to finally see this out. Check out Jacob Fritsky’s work and stay tuned for more 👀 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Preferential Site Ordering Alters the Magnetic Behavior of Sm3Ru4Sn13–xGex (x = 0–2)

"two first-rate economists, David Cutler and Ed Glaeser, have made a stab at estimating the impact of cuts at NIH. Their analysis suggests that these cuts might save $500 billion in federal spending over the next 25 years — while imposing more than $8 trillion in losses."
For MAGA, Ignorance is Strength
Research cuts aren’t about shrinking government, they’re about killing science

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.
Is anyone else having trouble sourcing BBr3? I have some on back order from Sigma since Feb. I checked Thermo a while back and they were also back ordered for months. Any leads? #chemsky
Watching so many Democrats wave away sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo—after spending years watching Republicans wave away rape and sexual assault allegations against Trump—is depressing. Saying that serious allegations of sexual abuse don't matter is morally repugnant.
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

This putrid human is celebrating the decimation of trans rights in the UK. She’s gloating because she helped fund it. She funded it thru money she makes off Harry Potter. She will continue to do this. It’s her “mission”. Supporting Harry Potter harms and causes death in my community. Factually.

This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now. And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · last yr.The U.K. Supreme Court rules that Britain's equalities law defines a woman as someone born biologically female. The ruling means a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them as female should not be considered a woman for equality purposes.
It feels like a quieter, more somber TDoV this year.
I appreciate this reasoned defense of science by @cenmag.bsky.social

UPenn just had $175 million in federal funding cancelled over allowing Lia Thomas to swim 3 years ago. It's not going to stop until they leverage federal funding to push out trans people from academia entirely. This will extend to bathrooms, curriculum, etc. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...
Trump administration pauses $175M in funding to UPenn over trans athlete policy
The University of Pennsylvania made national headlines in the 2021-2022 school year when Lia Thomas, a trans athlete, competed on the school's women's swim team.
