Understanding the molecular conformations involved in catalysis & building hypotheses to test experimentally has been ‘the privilege of the computational chemist’, says Varinia Bernales.

Please book by this Thursday June 11th for the July 2nd assembly - it's going to be an amazing event. We had our pre-event briefing with @wblau.bsky.social last week, and he's got lots of insightful things with which to inspire the broader discussion. I'm very excited! See you there hopefully!
The extent to which the public has been told to worry about the recycling of wind turbine blades intrigues me.
The fossil fuel industry is leaving us with planetary wreckage.
Seeing lots of headlines about the Iran/US situation ending soon, but it feels like so much gaslighting. If you feel similar, I recommend checking the daily @thestudyofwar.bsky.social analysis. In summary: don't get your hopes up. understandingwar.org/research/mid...
This is a great talk by @thierryaaron.bsky.social. The questions are also great.

PS: The shoutout to my Tice interview was a pleasant surprise, thanks!
Science writers and journalists are essential in revealing the truth that is getting ever more elusive today. As such I'm delighted that our community can propose sessions for next year's World Conference of Science Journalism, being held in London, here: registration.wcsj2027.org/wcsj27/call-...

Three months since the Iran War started, what have countries done to deal with fossil-fuel disruptions?
We took a deep dive looking at policy changes made now and how deep shocks in history have led to profound changes in the energy mix.

Western media reported on May 28 that US and Iranian negotiators have reached a 60-day memorandum of understanding.
I wrote this a year ago. Seems quite relevant again. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
‘In any catalysis problem, there are lots of variables, and it’s a case of seeing how you’re varying them,’ says Graham Hutchings from the University of Cardiff.

What do you think the science writing and journalism profession will look like in 2030 and beyond? Join @wblau.bsky.social and I and many others to discuss this, and decide how we respond, in an innovative 'community assembly' format either in London or online in July www.absw.org.uk/events/what-...
Everyone needs power these days. The oil and gas industry uses a lot. And they have a problem. To clean their highly toxic wastewater would require a lot power. How much?
"At current efficiency levels, treating all the effluent of the West Texas oilfield would require up to 26 gigawatts of power"
Even before his call for a net zero ‘reset’, there had been criticism of ex-PM’s lucrative links with fossil fuel nations
