That most of an atom is empty space

Prof. Osvaldo Gutierrez UMD Science named one of C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) Talented 12! We are proud of Gutierrez, an alum and former Ken Houk member! Congrats! bit.ly/31gO2cd @gutierrez_lab #houkies #cenT12

Interesting perspective by Ash Jogalekar I detest prima donnas. In energetics, such inflated egos leads to carelessness, a lack of focus, and a blase attitude. Such an attitude can not only damage your reputation, but can get you and those around you injured or killed.

This reaction really changed how I draw buta-1,3-diene, forever..

Thoroughly enjoyed the expt/#compchem discussion in this new paper from Marion Emmert (she/her), Cyndi He and coworkers. Congratulations! #merckchemistry

I “voted”!

Hey ChemDraw will you consider adding a "side view of an eye" to your wonderful sets of cartoons of bugs, organs, glassware, etc.? I'm annotating a chemical structure with a line of sight to explain how to view a molecule along an axis to get a certain projection. #RealTimeChem

@procrastiprof and I have always wanted to tell chemistry automation campfire stories of automation experiments gone wrong. I thought a thread on this might be fun. 1/x #merckchemistry #Automation

Hello #chemtwitter! I've been at Merck for a little over 8 months now and am excited to share with you some of what I've learned so far at #merckcatalysis living the #highthroughputlife 1/x

Key question around #HTE: Is it too expensive for academia? I personally do not think so… and that’s why I decided to write a #HTE 101 book chapter (currently under review, with @DrStephAnie91), edited by Steve Newman. Basically #howtoHTE 😊

Final #HTE tweet of the day: I always wondered who came up with #HTE reactor design… who made the first blueprints? Who came up with #photoredox platforms? So, I set up an interview with Melodie Christensen and other OGs. And made it a chapter in an upcoming #ACS symposium series.

In my profile, I said that I could draw a straight line from my coping strategies as a gay child to my scientific career. In support of this claim, a Twitter thread: Many of the most important things I know about being a scientist I learned from being a musician. 🧵

I've put together a few of my favorite discussions on the details of doing molecular dynamics. I'll add more as they come. Hopefully they're useful to you! 🧵1/n

It was an awesome day! Thank you @StevenLopez_neu for sharing your work!
