En @agatacomms hemos desarrollado un chatbot que no responde bien a las preguntas. Pero a diferencia de OpenAI, lo hacemos por una buena razón: concienciar sobre el impacto climático de la IA generativa.

Porque PEC no es Por el Culo, es Por El Clima.

Acabo de colaborar con Principia solidaria y consigo una recompensa para que Betty, una gatita de la calle que ha sido atropellada pueda ser operada con urgencia.

Recibiré 2 ejemplares de Principia Magazine y otros 2 de Principia Kids escogidos al azar de entre todas las maravillas que Principia ha creado.

Participa en el Crowdfunding "Principia solidaria" en Verkami

Principia donará todas las recompensas para Betty, una gatita de la calle que ha sido atropellada y necesita ser operada con urgencia.

The anti-science movement is "organized, it’s well-financed, and it’s politically motivated. It’s doing a lot of damage to the country and to American science and scientists. And now it’s become a lethal force." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/vaccine-scientist-warns-antiscience-conspiracies-have-become-a-deadly-organized-movement/
Vaccine Scientist Warns Antiscience Conspiracies Have Become a Deadly, Organized Movement

Vaccinologist Peter Hotez explains how the movement to oppose science and scientists has gained power

My latest story for Chemistry World covers an exciting discovery in photoswitches – researchers have achieved a full conversion from E to Z isomers in azobenzenes thanks to cool capsules that also conceal a photosensitiser 💡🔦 Read more: https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/encapsulation-drives-visible-light-isomerisation-in-azobenzene-photoswitch/4018163.article
Encapsulation drives visible light isomerisation in azobenzene photoswitch

Efficiency and selectivity of photoswitches boosted by confining light-sensitive structures into supramolecular capsules

Hey hey! I'm back here to ask you a favour 🙈 Today, I ran the Cancer Research UK #RaceForLife 🧬 to support their AMAZING ✨ work. I'm looking for support and donations here 👉🏼 http://bit.ly/FER10K

If you can, every little helps 💰 If not, reposting this would boost visibility and that's great too 🩵🎉

Every penny goes directly to CRUK 💊

Thank you very much 🥰

Check it out! Dave Smith, Peter O'Brien and co-workers at York University have developed gels that make organolithiums stable under ambient conditions FOR OVER 20 DAYS   

It's a total game-changer for synthesis in academia and industry. Imagine the applications!

Gel capsules make reactions with organolithiums simpler and safer

Low-cost gels improve the handling and storage of traditionally dangerous organometallics, expanding applications and possibilities in synthesis

@EllisCrawford Apparently the trick is making the pieces that "magically" piece together, instead of building it block by block. Sort of click chemistry meets COFs (huge approximation)
