How a simple form can make labs safer and more sustainable

A concept known as Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) has recently begun spreading through the chemical sciences. This approach has roots firmly planted in green chemistry. cen.acs.org/environment/...

Nitrous oxide emissions accelerate as agriculture drives climate threat With N2 O emissions up 40% in four decades, scientists are searching for answers. Anthony King looks at potential solutions to keep fertiliser nitrogen in the soil

Emissions of this greenhouse gas are rising faster than expected – driven by fertiliser use and farming practices. It’s 273x more warming than CO₂ and the biggest destroyer of ozone left in our skies. Can science and smarter soil management turn the tide?

I also wish we would treat atmospheric chemistry. Then at least the basics of radical chem is covered

On average to many C-F bonds if you would ask me. Let’s avoid the development of persistent, bioaccumulative compounds and target biodegradable APIs

Congrats 🥂 and greetings to Francesco

Can sent it to you if you like 😀🇳🇱

Being a Nobel laureate might have offered you a protective shield. Nonetheless, I admire your activism and posts, and will try to do my fair share from the Netherlands 🍀

Excellent work @scottchemistry.bsky.social

"Thinking time —the time needed to concentrate without interruptions has always been central to scholarly work. It is essential to designing experiments, compiling data, assessing results, reviewing literature and, of course, writing. Yet, [it] is often undervalued."

We are thrilled to share the work of S. Beijer, @chrisslootweg.bsky.social, and colleagues on the environmental risks of using precipitated struvite from urine as renewable fertilizer!

The people who produce this Mauna Loa atmospheric CO₂ record have a lab in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, about 50 miles (80 km) from the observatory. By closing the lab, it'll be really difficult to maintain the CO₂ observations.

Nah, can’t be. I am sure the negative vibe comes from someone else, who is likely still on Twitter 🦠

Same for me, thanks Ju !!
