my 2024 prediction is a massive advertising collapse when everyone realizes social media is now mostly bots talking to each other

When one starts using formal indefinite pronouns, one quickly notices how inelegant one sounds, and just as one begins to conjugate and realises that starting in the first place was one's mistake...you give up.

Inorganic chemists love to be like "we synthesized..." and it's just the most comically bulky ligand you've ever seen

Really not a fan of the Word style guide, in which "conciseness" apparently entails implying you know things that you do not know

Super happy to announce out latest ring expansion paper - out today in J. Am. Chem. Soc. This is the culmination of 5 years hard work by lots of very talented and dedicated people in our Chemistry at York group - I am extremely grateful to them all. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
