When Noem appeared on the roof of the Portland ICE facility, flanked by influencers and DHS hype video makers, the protesters below tried to spoil her photo-op in the "war ravaged" city by blaring the Benny Hill theme.

Maga influencers have been descending on Portland's small but persistent protest outside an Ice office to pick fights and glean content. So naturally, the cabinet member Trump cast for her on-screen presence showed up today with a trio of influencers in tow www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If anyone’s struggled to keep up with my threads on why the genAI bubble
Is a bubble, here’s a simplified pictorial explanation, the plug is OpenAI and the sockets are Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, Nvidia, and AMD

Someone reposted these yesterday and I realized that it wasn’t tagged #chemjobs (and neither was this post) so I couldn’t find it.

I know they’re internships but I want to get the word out since I am sure academic and government funding will still be borked in 2026

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

I met an amazing baseball community and formed "real life" friendships from that.

I also get my world expanded by reading insights from people who come from different cities, countries, backgrounds, life experiences, and viewpoints than my own.

FDA CERSI grants were expected to run through 2028: "One of the centers that receives annual funding from the agency via CERSI told Endpoints that when it received its contract award from the FDA last Tuesday, the end date of the grant was cut back by two years to Aug. 30, 2026"
FDA to rework 'CERSI' university collaborations, will make funding changes
FDA plans to redesign its Centers for Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation program in 2026, affecting partnerships with Johns Hopkins, Yale, Mayo Clinic and others.

I can’t believe there are no Samuel L Jackson memes for MOFs

I suspect that I'm going to be repeating "these books are medicinal" a lot.

This was certainly an intentional choice, which just makes me mad

It’s so much worse this year. Interviewers can barely hide their contempt and they make me feel like they’re doing charity work by interviewing me

“the chemistry functions like Hermione Granger’s handbag in the Harry Potter books, which appears small on the outside but is large on the inside.”

I feel like you should be able to describe Nobel Prize winning chemistry without having to invoke a HP reference? Also, the TARDIS is RIGHT THERE

It has been incredibly demoralizing job hunting as a civil servant.

Well, I did it.

After prominently featuring the US federal agency where I work - one which is shut down currently because our political class cannot fulfill the basic functions of government but was, for decades, an apolitical organization with almost universal support, 1/ 🧵

A Chemistry Nobel for the invention of MOFs! Here’s a great article on what these materials are and why they’re now being used to eg harvest water and suck up carbon dioxide. Congrats to Kitagawa, Robson and Yaghi! #ChemNobel

It’s #chemnobel day. For me, and for quite a few other people who spent time in the Stoddart group, it will hit somewhat differently this year.

Seems the right time to share a couple of passages from the eulogy I gave at Fraser’s funeral earlier this year.
A screenshot of text that reads:

Fraser lived his life at a hundred miles an hour. But it wasn't always the best thing for him or for those closest to him. In an interview following the award of the Nobel Prize in 2016 he recalled his time growing up on a farm and said that that had instilled in him the work ethic of a honeybee. Nobody would doubt that he had that. He also talked about having the strength of a horse and the hide of an elephant; what he didn't mention is that he could also be as stubborn as a mule. He did things his way and was rarely persuaded to do otherwise.

This bloody-mindedness undoubtedly contributed to his incredibly successful career. While those who didn't really know him will measure his contributions through the prizes he won, his real professional legacy is not those prizes, it is the people who passed through his lab and shared in his scientific journey. Yes, he changed science, but he changed lives too - including mine and many of those here today. I learned a lot from Fraser: some chemistry, how to make slides for presentations, how to always include a noun after the word 'this', and a few random Scottish words that I'm still not convinced he didn't just make up.

Over the weekend ICE abducted an NIH contractor when he showed up to a courthouse for his green card hearing. He is documented. His wife is a citizen.

He is also member of the skeleton crew of animal care staff that works through a shutdown, to ensure the health and wellbeing of research animals.
