I've seen this chromatogram before (OP: deleted user on Reddit) #chemchat
Two very different show cats in adjacent cages. One is diffuse and fluffy, and the other is tall and sleek.

"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...
Advert from a company called "Innovative Informatica Technologies". "We've lost our hair and earned the experience - so you don't have to. Outsource your computational drug discovery today."

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.
A cartoon of an H2O molecule strained such that it has the approximate bond angle of a stepladder. There's a curved arrow pointing from it to a section of DNA.

*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.

No cheating, repost with the most recent photo of your pet.
A tabby cat and a ginger and white cat curled up on a navy duvet. The tabby is curled around the ginger and giving him a little kitty kiss on the back of his head.

Nothing prepares you for how rapidly you accelerate between these three states #chemchat
Screenshot of a tweet from @MichaelCarusi The three stages of career development: 1. I can't wait until I'm important enough to be included in meetings. 2. I feel so important being in these meetings! 3. I will do anything legal and several illegal things to avoid these meetings.

Lmaooooo do you want your high-quality journal article written by these bots, oh did I say bots, I of course mean "people"? Only the highest quality articles will result!

(Let's all report this account please? Predatory scholarly accounts not welcome on #chemsky) ➡️ bsky.app/profile/pami...
A scam advert for an "expert writer team" to write journal articles for you or provide editing services. It's for the journal "One health and risk management", which mysteriously has an h-index of 6 (I think they are trying to pretend it's an impact factor!). The subject areas they can write for you include "occupational health mibrobologlogy", "cotsutiorall auileiriil resiases", and "nursing and immungony". There's a lot of repetition and even more bizarre non-words. And they want to write the article for you! They seem to both write the article and publish the article, and I guess collect tasty fees for both.

Merry Christmas. Faraday hopes you get all the rest you need. RuPhos is nearby, getting snuggles #FPotD
A sweet ginger and white cat is faceplanting onto my parents' sofa, which is covered in a blue throw. His face is slightly turned to the side so it's easier than usual to tell how he can still breathe like that

I've just seen this presented online, as evidence that flu vaccines cause flu.

Happy weekend, everybody 🙃
Bar graph labelled as from UK Health Security Agency, showing weekly outbreaks of flu. There are few outbreaks between May and September. A vertical line (probably added after the original graph was made) is labelled "flu vaccine rollout 1st September". A few weeks after this point, from mid-September to November, flu outbreaks rise dramatically. "I'm just saying there's a correlation!" 😂

Good news chemists, none of us need drugs because our brains are working perfectly 💁‍♀️ #chemchat
Screenshot of an ad from getdopa on Reddit Can you pronounce phosphatidylserine? If you can, congrats - your brains already firing on all cylinders. For the rest of us, keep reading It's our hero ingredient for a reason

Nooooo I finished the Swedish course! No more Swedish, I guess I know all there is to know.

Narrator: they really do not.

Ah, December. That means it's time for Deezer to tell me the unhinged combination of music I listened to most. I mean, none of them are weird, it's just they're not especially on a theme #MyDeezerYear2025

Oh what an... interesting sentence to exemplify the new word "to increase" 😭 #Duolingo #langsky
Duolingo Swedish: "the number of murders in the city has increased". Increased (ökat) is highlighted because it's a new word in my learning

He did the ultimate faceplant! I have no idea how Faraday gets his body to these angles. Also note the very important squished ear. #FPotD
My ginger and white cat with his head curled underneath his body at an alarming angle. Yet somehow he's napping. His ear is squished onto the blanket below him, also in a pretty weird way
