I am privileged that BM, a #chemistry PhD student who was intentionally poisoned with thallium, trusted me to tell his story. For over a decade, he has fought to regain the abilities he had before the poisoning. The story just published in @cenmag 1/5 cen.acs.org/safety/lab-safet…
I'd definitely sign... if I could. Here's the petition in English: europa.eu/citizens-initiativ…

My last image of the international space station brought a lot of "interesting" conversations to the thread say the least. Everything from the moon is a hologram to I'm paid by NASA to fake these images. Here's a short thread about my take on these ideas.

'On what planet is that likely and how is that not inflammatory language?'
@susannareid100 grills @SuellaBraverman over her comments in the Commons where she claimed: 'one hundred million displaced around the world and likely billions more eager to come here is possible.'

I present many hard years of effort between myself, Sir Woof, the groups of @Piero_Canepa @ZhaoGroupNUS and others.
The pitch: Aluminum formate (ALF) adsorbs CO2 really well at elevated temperatures, ignores N2, and is made reeeeeal cheap.
Enjoy!

Our first paper on piezoelectric MOFs is out (more to come). They could be particularly good for mechanical energy harvesting 👇. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
