Chelation
Do people pronounce this word more than one way? The autism cure grifters episode of Behind the Bastards is making me flinch repeatedly at “chel-ation” instead of “kee-lation”.

Scientists use magnetic minerals, fossil records, and innovative mapping to reconstruct our planet's 4-billion-year geological #history. You can trace the movement of continents from ancient Pangea to today's landscape, explaining how our world has constantly reshaped itself.

Tracing Chemical Knowledge Over Centuries with #LLMs 
Diego Alves, Sergei Bagdasarov & Badr M. Abdullah prompted models to generate structured metadata for 47k+ texts from the #RoyalSociety Corpus (1665–1996), enabling large-scale comparison of #Chemistry and #Biology over time.
They tracked how chemical substances migrated between disciplines revealing a "chemicalization" of biology in the 19th century and a long-term trend toward standardization. #OpenScience #DiachronicAnalysis #NLP

After a long journey, finally, my good friend Sai and coworkers published this amazing work in #NatCommun. 
They can use native functional groups such as alcohols and transform them to the most challenging Z-olefins.
Without the use of a transition metal catalyst, and even working for #DNA 
functionalization!

NaturePhotocatalytic deoxygenative Z-selective olefination of aliphatic alcohols - Nature CommunicationsAlcohols are one of the most abundant functional groups in commercially available materials and biologically active compounds. Here, the authors report a metal-free photocatalytic method for the deoxygenative Z-selective olefination of aliphatic alcohols.
Tired of ugly and stupid #USpol ?
Need a break from the chaos?
Think #science is cool, but #chemistry is just indecipherable hieroglyphics?
What if I told you molecules are beautiful? 
See if you’re persuaded…

This week NFDI4Chem was at the "Fellowship oft the Data" Meeting in Jena.
We had 2 days full of knowledge sharing, exchanging resources, learning from each other's experiences, and forging synergistic teams to better support researchers and stakeholders alike.

Such an amazing documentary!!!
Question for people who maybe do fab and/or electronics work (or anyone else). Are your "desiccator cabinets" air tight in a similar way that chemical ones are? They get called by the same term and also marked as "static dissipative".
By air tight I mean I can put in a color changing desiccant and it shouldn't change color for months at a minimum if I don't open the door.
Pictures don't make it clear if there is a gasket that would give this sort of seal or not.

@dtl one of the things I've emphasized to my #kitchen #chemistry students and then also, um, shown to my kids so they are careful and aware is this mantra:
Hot glass looks like cold glass
Found this forum, the discussions look super interesting.
https://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/
And the forum software they use is very old-school and absolutely delightful. A breath of fresh air after seeing the ugly Discourse forums so much recently.

let me shout out, to certain governments, I am proud to work at the Dept of Translational Genomics, where use study genomics, metabolomics, and other omics and translate this to the clinic
Just a question for people doing click #chemistry : Is the triazole proton in the product exchangable in H-NMR with MeOD? My #NMR shows obviously no signal in the aromatic area, but I am still quite sure that I have the coupled product (via other signals and LC-MS). #science
Tomorrow is risotto primavera day in #Chemistry lab. The asparagus and fresh peas look amazing. I remembered the Parmesan. And I’m going to make a vegan coconut kheer for the class. As my task list keeps getting longer, I am doing my best to find small joys in the midst of an avalanche of work. April will be a blur.
