"We've lost our hair" - balding as a mark of competence. Image would have been a funny meme without the caption suggesting it's their entire workforce. That's a company not to hire I guess...

Not the worst from a pop sci video but the H2O made me lol. The arrow means small -> macromolecule evolution over millions of years so no issue with that bit.

Unsure whether anyone else on #chemsky cares as it's super-nerdy 😄 but I found this presentation by Martin Vogt on canonicalization of chemoinformatic representations and its relation to substructure searching super interesting.

*sigh* Some days I would like the vibe to get closer to how Twitter was; others I am reminded exactly how Twitter used to be.

I feel some déjà vu... the popular chemistry software whose support team incorrectly mansplained stereochemistry last year is now incorrectly mansplaining a different kind of stereochemistry to me :D
(But at least the first bug got squished eventually, so hopefully this one will too?!)

In my Swedish lessons, I just had a date ("dejt"!) with a recorded voice of a guy, & I had to speak back to the computer. He shot down all my date ideas and was obsessed with hiring electric scooters instead. Then asks in advance whether he should call me afterwards. Sorry bro, ingen andra dejt 😂

Tonight, the owl has moved to a tree on the opposite side of the canal, yet somehow he seems louder than ever. On the plus side, I can just about make out his silhouette against the sky, which is the first glimpse I've had. I hope tonight's fireworks don't bother him too much! 🦉

My brother got me a chemistry joke book for Christmas, and I'm sure you'd love to hear some, #chemchat. Some of them are good, some of them are bad, some are silly, a couple are a bit off-colour 🙃

I really love the tawny owl in my garden, but it doesn't half do a lot of hooting between 1 and 4 am. Don't you have mice to catch or something? 😂🦉

I have, quite overzealously, now changed my phone language to Swedish to aid learning. Of course in 2025, this has unexpectedly automatically changed my watch too, and the preferred language everywhere I use Chrome browser. I'm changing the browser language back at least; not ready for that yet 😂
