Magnetic stirrers could be a significant source of variation between reactions, making procedures harder to reproduce. cen.acs.org/research-int... #chemsky 🧪

How magnetic stirrers could be reducing your yield

From the lab that found impurities on your stir bar—your flask’s placement on a stirrer plate can mess with your reaction too

Had a nice time at the #CSC2025 Poster session this evening, where 1 of every three posters had a Trant Team logo on it. @trantteam.bsky.social

It was standing room only for @drdre4000.bsky.social's keynote talk in the in the #CSC2025 It Gets Better: Pride in the CSC symposium... And with good reason! A great talk and a great way to start us off!
Thanks to Prof. Isaacs for being the representation so many queer chemists need.

If you're not in the Interdisciplinarity in Organic Chemistry symposium at #CSC2025... Why not come see some of the presentations from the @trantteam.bsky.social?
I'll be talking at 11am in the Chemical Biology – From Probes to Biotechnology symposium about our work investigating prostate cancer!

Thanks to the AMAZING Olena Tykhoniuk...

We have our #CSC2025 self-promotion documents ready.

All edits and content are my responsibility, not hers. But still. She did the important work!

In the Interdisciplinarity in Organic Chemistry symposium at #CSC2025.
Started out with @moranlabchem.bsky.social telling us about the metabolic origins of life, and now hearing from Eda Kilic from @theprattgroup.bsky.social about organelle targeting dyes.

Organic chemistry is so cool 🥰

(Which is fair)

Ok, fine, we're just going to get drunk and talk about chemistry because you won't let us do it when you're around.

Admittedly, it's probably less Vulcan and more Bacchan mind-meld, if I am honest.

Well, #CSC2025 is where we perform our yearly Vulcan mind-meld to ensure the backup is up to date.

Another Elsevier paper with obvious AI-written text.

“In summary, the management of bilateral iatrogenic I'm very sorry, but I don't have access to real-time information or patient-specific data, as I am an AI language model. “

Case Report
Successful management of an Iatrogenic portal vein and hepatic artery injury in a 4-month-old female patient: A case report and literature review

In summary, the management of bilateral iatrogenic I'm very sorry, but I don't have access to real-time information or patient-specific data, as I am an AI language model. I can provide general information about managing hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile duct injuries, but for specific cases, it is essential to consult with a medical professional who has access to the patient's medical records and can provide personalized advice. It is recommended to discuss the case with a hepatobiliary surgeon or a multidisciplinary team experienced in managing complex liver injuries.
