"The academic structure … makes planning for a family feel like an impossible luxury." In this Working Life, two postdocs share how, as women in academia, having children can feel impossible—and how talking about it makes them feel less alone. https://scim.ag/46uBWgD #InternationalDayOfFriendship

Rudolph A. “Rudy” Marcus, a Canadian-born US chemist whose work on electron transfer helped shape the entire field of chemistry, died on July 16 at age 102. He was a chemist at the California Institute of Technology and a Nobel laureate: cen.acs.org/people/obitu... #chemsky 🧪

It was a true pleasure attending ISOFR14 in Bologna representing @noelgroupuva.bsky.social! This radical chemistry conference was a chance to meet researchers from all over, discover their work and receive feedback! Thanks to the organizational committee! Stay tuned for more adventures 📺

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

The @acs.org has deleted its website on diversity, equity, inclusion and respect. www.acs.org/about/divers...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Truly humbled to see this team effort accepted in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social! From the reaction scope to the mechanistic study, we really worked on the shoulders of giants in the field of Nickel carbenes and Electrochemistry The method is compatible with varied alkenes and scalable! ⭐️

Excited to share our latest work @angewandtechemie.bsky.social, on an efficient Ni-catalyzed electrochemical cyclopropanation in continuous flow—broad scope, ambient conditions, and scalable! ⚡ 🔗: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Fun fact: This marks the 20th ACIE paper from our group!

🎄✨What a year for @noelgroupuva.bsky.social!✨🎄 From festive fun to unforgettable scientific moments, 2024 was amazing: Secret Santa with Père Noël @tnoel82.bsky.social & his elves: @morganregnier.bsky.social & Clara! A fantastic Xmas dinner to wrap it all up. Here’s to 2025! 🥂 #Chemsky #Xmas

Nickel carbenes are intriguing, so what about generating them with a benchtop electrochemical setup? ⚡️ Great to see our work on cyclopropanation from dichloromethane now on ChemrXiv, if you are a fan of triangles 🔺, have a look!

Noel Research Group@noelgroupuva.bsky.social · 2y ago

Check out our new preprint: flow electroreductive nickel-catalyzed cyclopropanation of olefins using gem-dichloroalkanes. Out now @chemrxiv.bsky.social: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr... Great work by @morganregnier.bsky.social, Clara, Dimitris and @tnoel82.bsky.social! #ChemSky #electrochemistry
