🚨Funding for 2yr postdoc w/me & @geocron.bsky.social on landslide-tsunami-jökulhlaup, but (this is the ridiculous part) I need to select someone NOW or I lose the $. If you're NOT in Canada (can be any nationality) & interested email CV & transcripts by midnight MT, June 12. 🧪⚒️ @igs-egg.bsky.social

The different between BadEvilBigPharma and GoodSweetFoodSupplements is obvious, let me show on this example of an anti-allergy drug Allegra Tab.
I bought it (because it is this time of the year again) and analysed it. The label is saying that tablets contain fexofenadine hydrochloride, but what...

Well, I have a LT dataset and results are same as for RT data collection. The conclusions are clear - we were able to make first pentavalent carbon. While I am writing an articles for Nature, Science and Heavy Drugs Frontiers, you can try to guess what it is in reality.
