Hi #chemtwitter. My students are reviewing for an exam today.
What are some good incorrect and relatively simple organic structures they can correct for practice?
From today, the majority of foreign university students cannot bring family members to the UK.
In 2024, we’re already delivering for the British people.
Most carbon atoms possess 8 valence electrons, which is why they are said to obey the octet rule. But the new dicationic compound features a carbon with only 4 valence electrons—a feat once thought impossible. cen.acs.org/physical-chemist…
Retweets are welcome and of course applications, especially from female students! :)
If you know someone looking for a PhD to develop #ML methods for chemical applications, preferably photochemistry, spread the word! tinyurl.com/2p935dfv
Really recommend this video if you are getting into #dataviz, or if you often present data but haven't yet realized you should be into data viz (everyone starts at this point!)
How does the sun affect our skin? Andy Brunning look at the biochemistry behind sunlight’s effects on our skin in this edition of #PeriodicGraphics by @compoundchem: fal.cn/3yVOH
ALT The first column of the infographic explains that ultraviolet radiation is emitted by the sun along with visible light. Exposure to UV is what causes skin to tan and burn. UVC light is absorbed by the atmosphere, but longer-wavelength UVB and UVA light can penetrate the skin and damage DNA. This damage can ultimately lead to skin cancer, but some exposure to UV light is important for our skin to make vitamin D.
If you’re a #CASFutureLeaders alum, please respond to my poll in our new LinkedIn group. I’m looking for ideas on how to communicate across our community when attending ACS meeting so we can organize more of these fun meet ups. 👇🏼
