Excited to speak at the Oxford Seminar in the History of Alchemy and Chemistry. I’ll discuss how big data, computational, and mathematical tools are revealing new insights into the history of chemistry—both at the macro and micro levels ambix.org/?doing_wp_cron=177… #chemistry #history

A Chemistry World article about our paper on the dominant role of China in the discovery of chemicals, including rare-earth compounds chemistryworld.com/news/chin…

China dominates the discovery of new chemicals and reactions

The country's contribution to known chemical space has grown exponentially in recent decades, driven by strong domestic R&D investment

Thrilled to announce that from April 1, 2026, I’ll join the editorial team of Theory in Biosciences as Editor-in-Chief, alongside Peter Stadler and Kelin Xia. This journal has been a beacon for research at the intersection of biology, chemistry, maths, and philosophy of science

Today, more than ever, we must ask what science really is—and what it is not. Without clear criteria for scientific discovery, the dream of a Nobel Turing Test will remain elusive. The humanities have much to say here. #AI #science #humanities science.org/content/article/…

How will we know if AI is smart enough to do science?

New tests gauge whether large language models can use their deep troves of knowledge to actually make discoveries

A recent piece where some of my thoughts on the Nobel Prize are included #chemistry #NobelPrize Collaborating with a Nobel laureate may actually hinder chances of winning a Nobel prize: chemistryworld.com/news/coll…

Collaborating with a Nobel laureate may actually hinder chances ...

Research suggest that those who work alongside laureates may not be seen as original thinkers

A just open-access accepted paper on the role of hypergraphs for molecular and reaction modelling pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti… #chemistry #mathematics

Higher order structures in chemistry: hypergraphs reshape the molecule and the reaction

Chemical systems contain higher-order relationships that exceed the binary constraints of traditional graph-based models. Although graph theory has long supported the digital representation of...

Nature - Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers)...

An excellent biological example of how binary sex classifications can be problematic: a genetically male bird laid an egg. science.org/content/article/… #sex #Biology

‘Sex reversal’ is surprisingly common in birds, new study suggests

Survey of five Australian avians finds numerous discordant individuals, including a genetically male bird that had laid an egg
