Scientists’ role in defending democracy

The ability to tell the truth, especially when it does not suit any particularly partisan aims, is an essential prerequisite for a free society.

Lone Pair–π Interactions Modulated by Coordination Geometry in NDI‐di‐NHC Metal Chloride Complexes

Two NDI-di-NHC metal complexes with Au(I) and Ru(II) are studied, revealing that (Cl)lp…π interactions are strongly governed by geometry and metal identity. In the Au complex, geometry favors intermo...

Selective Carbonyl Reduction in Unsaturated Esters and Aldehydes by Transfer Hydrogenation

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (TH) is an alternative to the industrially relevant hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds, dismissing the use of pressurized reactors. Herein, we compare ruthenium and o...

A huge thank you to Prof. Machan for a thought-provoking seminar! His work on systemically pairing redox-active small molecules with catalytic active sites, and the potential for organic-based electrocatalysts, is truly inspiring for the future #ChemistrySeminar #Innovation

This whole interview is outstanding

chemsky 🧪

english.elpais.com/science-tech...

The situation for science in the U.S. is terrible. How should I put this because I don’t want to make everybody flee our country, but I do think it needs to be clear to the public. They’re not funding grants from the National Institutes of Health, including in backdoor ways, like blocking committees from meeting that make decisions about the grants. I have three post-doctoral students who have fellowship applications that are not even being reviewed.

I also have a $3.5 million grant that was recommended for funding, for plastics recycling. There’s been a “communications pause.” I don’t know if it’ll still go forward, or maybe it never gets funded. [If that happens] we wouldn’t have the opportunity to try to pursue the commercial viability of this chemical recycling that we developed and that others would be able to contribute to.

Those discoveries can be made in a university, or they can be made in industry, but the people in industry who made those discoveries went to universities and got advanced degrees in the sciences and then went off and started the new biotech company that discovers a drug that gets developed into affecting human health. That is how the whole economy works.

Companies such as Google and many others in the technology sector rely on people trained in these institutions. If we pull the plug on training, where’s the United States’ position as a technology leader? There’s this feeling: these are the kinds of steps of authoritarian regimes to take power. And we’re just watching it happen. How do we stop this?

An interesting study concludes: "We fail to find any statistically significant effect
on research productivity and quality, which suggests that receiving an ERC grant
does not make a difference in terms of scientific impact for researchers" 👇
