Refreshing Midsummer's day swim at Naset. Finally warm enough to get to second jetty when it was so cold last month I could only just make the first. We'll see how many weeks it takes to extend my efforts to the third jetty (red on right) and eventually ~550 m to get across the inlet (lower left)

Bit of self-doubt by DECIMER and no exact match in PubChem but looks like it whacks the right BMS patent "Pyridinyl substituted oxoisoindoline compounds" pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/patent/WO-20...

Quiet start to the year for the #greatcompoundrace with only Reaxys forging ahead. Puzzling small drop in PubChem patent chemistry looks like a Google Patents refresh.

Good 2c the excellent Ian Lloyd Pharma projects annual (free :) epistle on drug discovery stats. Will be avidly perused by @gtopdb.bsky.social IUPHAR. A glimmer of clinical phase acceleration, possibly with AI impact? #glashalffull
