Homochirality has more than one story to tell. Beyond Frank–Kagan–Soai #ChemNobel2026, there is another fascinating thread: Kondepudi–Viedma, where crystallization and spontaneous symmetry breaking take center stage. Both trace their roots back to Pasteur’s 1848 discovery.
The most rewarding projects often begin with serendipity. Nearly a decade ago, I wondered if we could tell the handedness of the pillararene crystals we had just grown. Beginner's luck was on our side. Finally published in @J_A_C_S. doi.org/10.1021/jacs.6c10931

Right now, there is no technology to always accurately distinguish scientific papers written using AI from purely human papers. But this may change in the future. Be honest about AI use in your papers now. It's the safest path to avoiding future accusations of AI plagiarism.

Clear calls the time between the point we start a habit to the point we start seeing its first results "the plateau of latent potential."
Most people remain stuck within this plateau.
To see the results of any habit, we must cross the plateau of latent potential.

„Domy strachu” we Wrocławiu. Kurierzy boją się tam wchodzić
Henryka Pobożnego, Ołbińska, Prądzyńskiego, Kościuszki, Rydygiera, Łowiecka, Komuny Paryskiej – te ulice padają z ust kurierów bez zastanowienia.
Zamiast zapachu świeżo pomalowanych ścian - wilgoć i stęchlizna. Zamiast ozdobnych balustrad – spróchniałe, trzeszczące drewniane schody. Do tego tynk sypiący się z każdej strony, ściany umazane bohomazami, wybite szyby i podwórka, na których kręci się podejrzane towarzystwo. Tak wciąż wygląda część wrocławskich kamienic, mimo że inne, często stojące tuż obok, przeszły już metamorfozę.

And the product that comes out of all the suffering and scarcity isn't even good (not reproducible usually and <10% translatable to real world) and the experience and skillset (R&D) is usually considered non-essential businesswise as a result...
Is no one else thinking yet that this ISN'T JUST A FUNDING PROBLEM?
... and we need to RE-IMAGINE THE WAY WE DO RESEARCH FROM THE GROUND UP!?
Time to quit merely complaining and start RESHAPING AND REFORMING!

🎁HBT Mieczysław Mąkosza turning 90 today. Born in Belarus he studied chemistry at the universities of Rostov-on-Don and Leningrad (now again St. Petersburg) from where he received a Master of Science in 1956. He then moved to the Technical Univ. of Warsaw @WUT_edu to work towards a PhD (1963) and a habilitation (1967). After further twelve years as professor at the WUT he became the Director of the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences @PASIFIC_PAS from 1979 until his retirement in 2004. Makosza pioneered Phase Transfer Catalysis and Vicarious Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution—always with an eye on applications in industrial settings. His work was recognized internationally, not the least with memberships in various Academies, among the the Academia Europaea ae-info.org and the German National Academy of Sciences @Leopoldina.

Another PhD defense is behind us! Maciej Dajek defended his doctoral thesis entitled “Synthesis of bifunctional, chiral catalysts based on hydrogen bond donors and assessment of their catalytic efficiency”, which was done under the supervision of Prof. Rafał Kowalczyk. Congrats!
