Tracing Chemical Knowledge Over Centuries with #LLMs 
Diego Alves, Sergei Bagdasarov & Badr M. Abdullah prompted models to generate structured metadata for 47k+ texts from the #RoyalSociety Corpus (1665–1996), enabling large-scale comparison of #Chemistry and #Biology over time.
They tracked how chemical substances migrated between disciplines revealing a "chemicalization" of biology in the 19th century and a long-term trend toward standardization. #OpenScience #DiachronicAnalysis #NLP
I'm not a #chemist , so could someone who knows please explain why #benzene is such a hazard when several hundred tons of the stuff seeps into the ground following a train derailment at 95kph?

After a long journey, finally, my good friend Sai and coworkers published this amazing work in #NatCommun. 
They can use native functional groups such as alcohols and transform them to the most challenging Z-olefins.
Without the use of a transition metal catalyst, and even working for #DNA 
functionalization!

Tired of ugly and stupid #USpol ?
Need a break from the chaos?
Think #science is cool, but #chemistry is just indecipherable hieroglyphics?
What if I told you molecules are beautiful?

This week NFDI4Chem was at the "Fellowship oft the Data" Meeting in Jena.
We had 2 days full of knowledge sharing, exchanging resources, learning from each other's experiences, and forging synergistic teams to better support researchers and stakeholders alike.

Such an amazing documentary!!!
Question for people who maybe do fab and/or electronics work (or anyone else). Are your "desiccator cabinets" air tight in a similar way that chemical ones are? They get called by the same term and also marked as "static dissipative".
By air tight I mean I can put in a color changing desiccant and it shouldn't change color for months at a minimum if I don't open the door.
Pictures don't make it clear if there is a gasket that would give this sort of seal or not.
On this day in 1877: The first #Easter egg roll was held on the White House lawn. This tradition began after #Congress banned egg rolling on Capitol grounds.
You can create your own eco-friendly eggs with natural dyes. It's kitchen #chemistry: cabbage creates blue eggs, beets make pink ones, and turmeric yields yellow, and, the colors differ on white vs. brown eggs.

@dtl one of the things I've emphasized to my #kitchen #chemistry students and then also, um, shown to my kids so they are careful and aware is this mantra:
Hot glass looks like cold glass
Found this forum, the discussions look super interesting.

And the forum software they use is very old-school and absolutely delightful. A breath of fresh air after seeing the ugly Discourse forums so much recently.
