Compound InterestDec 5

Brussels sprouts and Finnish lanttulaatikko feature in day 5 of #ChemAdvent. Their chemical connection is glucosinolates, bitter compounds in sprouts and swedes.

Genetic variations in people affect the perception of this bitterness – so if you're not a sprouts fan, that could be why!

@compoundchem Perhaps it is a mistake, but these images are missing alt text & image description for accessibility. #DIsabledAndSTEM

@ml hmm, may be the new scheduling app I’m using – it does say it does alt text and I added it so not sure why it’s not showing here. Will look into it – I need to use a scheduling app because of the number of platforms these days but tried to pick one that supported alt text so annoying if it’s not working here

@compoundchem Thanks. I know you were creating alt text & image description before so I figured you might not know this had gone out without it.

I hope the developer is responsive.

@ml appreciate you pointing it out! I’m still on the free trial of the current one I’m using so may just switch to another if alt-text support isn’t in place for all platforms.
