Please boost - two 4-year PhD position funded by the Royal Society and the Chinese Scholarship Council. Come work with me at QMUL on synthesising helicenes and then measuring room-temperature spin transport! #CISS #CSC #PhDposition

The first is for Home Fees only and will investigate helicenes in molecular junctions with colleagues in our Physics department. It's multidisciplinary but you only need to have an organic synthesis background to start. More details: https://findaphd.com/phds/project/helicenes-for-molecular-junctions/?p159074

Very proud to read this interview of my dear colleague and friend @jesswade

From the opening paragraph: "I learn two things about her. Number one: she walks and talks fast, as if she is running out of time. Number two: she is incredibly modest." 😂

‘Why are they not on Wikipedia?’: Dr Jess Wade’s mission for recognition for unsung scientists

Despite some advances, men still dominate science but one academic is working hard to get women and peers of colour the recognition they deserve

29 scientists write about 'merit' in science and use this figure to 'measure' it. First, I should emphasise we all want great science. Also, merit is not opposed to diversity as the authors suggest - noone wants bad science. The problem is those axes...

In Defense of Merit in Science

Merit is a central pillar of liberal epistemology, humanism, and democracy. The scientific enterprise, built on merit, has proven effective in generating scientific and technological advances, reducing suffering, narrowing social gaps, and improving the quality of life globally. This perspective documents the ongoing attempts to undermine the core principles of liberal epistemology and to replace merit with non-scientific, politically motivated criteria. We explain the philosophical origins of this conflict, document the intrusion of ideology into our scientific institutions, discuss the perils of abandoning merit, and offer an alternative, human-centered approach to address existing social inequalities.

This paper by Qi, Liu and co-workers looks great! It shows the direct and selective reduction of carboxylic acids to aldehydes using H-Bpin in the presence of triflylpyridiniums. #ChemToots #RealTimeChem
