📢 Hiring a postdoc! Join my group on an NIH-funded project developing hydrazone-based photoswitchable fluorophores for super-resolution microscopy. Looking for expertise in organic synthesis, photochemistry, spectroscopy, systems/supramolecular chemistry, and/or chemical biology. #chemjobs #chemsky

Truly sad news today. Emma was an inspiring Dean of Science at UNSW and always dedicated to making a real difference in the world, as well as beaming with energy and positive vibes. A pleasure to work with and an inspiring leader in times when they seem so hard to find. She’ll be sadly missed.

ARC says Discovery Projects outcomes will be tomorrow (Tuesday). Linkage Projects (2025, round 1) on Wed. Over past ~year, it's often been at about 11am (Canberra). My bot will pick up the change to RMS & post immediately. ARC should email outcomes to lead CIs, but might take an 1hr or so for DPs

Screenshot of tweet from the ARC saying they will announce DP26 outcomes on Tuesday 28th Oct, and LP25r1 outcomes on Wednesday 29th.

We’ve also been thinking about this a lot in recent years. Even “well mixed” solutions are really very heterogeneous, even though we synthetic chemists don’t like to admit it, and it can change reaction outcomes…. #ChemSky

Stirring: friend or foe? Huang et al.: 329 reactions → stirring made little difference. Cherepanova et al.: stirrers can cause irreproducibility by vial position. Time to rethink the humble stir bar. doi.org/10.1021/jacs... #ChemSky
