September 2022 issue of Crystal Growth & Design is now online. go.acs.org/2af The cover depicts β-naphthol red pigments, found by the @RuncevskiLab at @SMU to be hydrazones rather than azo compounds. Read the article here: go.acs.org/2ae

Art comes so natural to Pigment R4! We just let it crystalize and look at these sculptures and elaborated paintings on the vial's walls! I really enjoyed this fun project with @Mat_Heeney and Daniel! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…

This is such an excellent and important paper, and it makes me super happy to see that the authors used one of our solutions as a good example onlinelibrary.wiley.com/iucr…

We are having fun at the #IonicLiquid @GordonConf but missing our friends who couldn’t make it here: Nate Larm @JoshuaSangoro @shawchem @AnjaMudring Leo Bañuelos and others

According to this excerpt from an actual job ad, asst/assoc professors occasionally bend/stoop/twist, they occasionally walk, and perhaps more importantly, they occasionally kneel and squat. At least they are not required to twerk.

If you think the weather is hot, have in mind that this is probably the coldest summer of the rest of your life. #ClimateEmergency

Advice to (new) PI: use a separate email address when asking for quotes or for any correspondence with vendors really. Any vendor.

The way how @Wiley_Chemistry journals present PDFs on their websites it’s a perfect example of trying to improve something that doesn’t need improvement, and somehow making it worse.

A short thread on disability in chemistry and some food for thought. Again, I hate to be the one writing this. I'd much rather someone else did it so I could just retweet, but here we are... (1/12)

Issue 14 of @InorgChem (pubs.acs.org/toc/inocaj/61/1…) is special! In addition to featuring a great set of articles, it presents virtual issue celebrating LGBTQIAPN inorganic chemists, with an editorial featuring their voices pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…. Thanks to @abhikghosh for leading!

We are looking for 2 postdocs! One will work on exp. modeling of the evaporites and karsts on Titan, and proving that earth-like life can survive (in) the lakes. We have excellent preliminary data and we are looking for a bright scientist to work with us on this exciting project!

Not all crystal/solid state chemistry is inorganic chemistry.
Bit grumpy. @CGD_ACS is not a home for structural science that does not fit the remit of inorganic chemistry journals. It is a journal that focusses on structure property relationships and has a very strong community amongst people who make your medicine get into your body.

Super excited to see our Welch proposal renewed! Back in 2019, very few thought our Titan project would be successful. The @WelchFoundation was the first to support our research, and that support made a huge difference. Thank you!

We should normalize early career PIs doing something completely different than their advisors. At the ACS meeting, and many times before, I’ve been told “oh I though you do MOFs” after the postdoc with Jeff. The ASC meeting was a blast btw! So much fun!

Congratulations to @Mat_Heeney for his first-author paper on pigments, just accepted in @CGD_ACS. Following the suggestions from the referees, you will see his crystals on the front cover of one of the forthcoming issues. Those pigments are art themselves
