It was great to be involved! Such a great conversation around EDI in chemistry, particularly highlighting the importance of intersectionality!!!

"We need a new generation of scientists with the passion and knowledge to tackle these complex global challenges. To do so, they must be equipped with the skills and tools to understand, analyse, and connect complex interdependencies and delicate balances" pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We invite you to share your opinion on the IYCN Science Café Series 3! Which of IUPAC's 2023 Top 10 Emerging Technologies in Chemistry do you want to learn more about? Let us know and complete the survey at bit.ly/TopTen_Survey23 by March 15th

Hi👋IYCN EDI Comm here! We're creating a social media campaign where we highlight a minority group of our network every month. We'll use our platforms to give visibility and share stories of our members. We'd like to hear from you! Who do you want to see in our campaign?

On #InternationalWomensDay, let's work together to promote diversity in science. This is the goal of the IUPAC Global Women's Breakfast, which in 2024 was held in 420 locations in 77 countries with an estimated 40,000 participants worldwide. #GWB2024

It's time to stop dumping thankless tasks on women. Women get more asks than men to serve on committees, plan events, and take notes. They're more likely to be penalized if they say no—and taken for granted if they say yes. Work should be divided equitably by role, not gender.

..when I finish this paper ..when I climb that ladder ..when I get that award ..when I get that job ..when I complete this task The future is always busy, don't forget to live now.

Great advice on prioritizing projects: 1. Is it with people I trust to be good scientists? 2. Am I looking forward to meetings with collaborators? 3. Is it interesting to me? 4. Does it fit with my professional identity? 5. Does data collection go well? 6. Will results be robust?

With lots of new followers here, it’s probably time to post this again. 💜 These are some of the daily reminders I wish I could have had when I was a PhD student. More #AcademicMentalHealth art with the wonderful Lucía Types | Colorful Artist coming hopefully later this year. ☺️

If you're struggling with your mental health, it's important to remember that you are not alone. Millions of people around the world face similar challenges, and there is no shame in reaching out for help. Whether it's talking to a trusted friend, seeking therapy, or exploring

The chemistry journal Heterocycles suspended publication in December 2023, and it is far from unique. A January 2024 study of over 7.4 million studies found that just under 28% were not preserved online. What happens when academic journals disappear? chemistryworld.com/news/a-key-che…

Just two days left! 🕒 Don't let this opportunity slip away – abstract submissions are welcomed not only for talks but also for posters and startups at the #Curious2024 #StartupFair. 🚀📊

PhDs: your dissertation topic is less relevant to finding a role outisde of academia than your *skills*. Here's a 🧵 on how to translate skills you already have into corpspeak using examples from my own PhD work experience:

I’m so sick of academics who make PhD students and postdocs feel bad about themselves. I see it happen frequently and it’s awful. If you’re one of those people, please stop and consider how you can support them instead. Our early career scholars deserve better. OpenAcademics

Whenever I’ve had a tough week I always look back at this and suddenly everything makes sense again 😂. Credit:TwistedDoodles

The people who we mentor are not us and their goals are not usually our goals. So, instead of focusing on what we would do, we can help them focus on what they should do in light of: -their priorities -their choices -their strengths -their path

The dienone–phenol rearrangement has been known for 100+ years and is a staple of undergraduate courses (migratory aptitudes!). Today we report on its lesser-known cousin: the quinol–enedione rearrangement. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
