I've put together a few of my favorite discussions on the details of doing molecular dynamics. I'll add more as they come. Hopefully they're useful to you! 🧵1/n

In my profile, I said that I could draw a straight line from my coping strategies as a gay child to my scientific career. In support of this claim, a Twitter thread: Many of the most important things I know about being a scientist I learned from being a musician. 🧵

Final #HTE tweet of the day: I always wondered who came up with #HTE reactor design… who made the first blueprints? Who came up with #photoredox platforms? So, I set up an interview with @chemchristensen and other OGs. And made it a chapter in an upcoming #ACS symposium series.
Interested how high throughput experimentation and automation has changed @EmmertLab @ReneeSifri & @chemchristensen approach to synthetic chemistry? They'll be online today to tell you! #highthroughputlife #HTEinfluencer #automation #merckchemistry #merckcatalysis #MerckDRE

Hello #chemtwitter! I've been at @Merck for a little over 8 months now and am excited to share with you some of what I've learned so far at #merckcatalysis living the #highthroughputlife 1/x

@procrastiprof and I have always wanted to tell chemistry automation campfire stories of automation experiments gone wrong. I thought a thread on this might be fun. 1/x #merckchemistry #Automation

Key question around #HTE: Is it too expensive for academia? I personally do not think so… and that’s why I decided to write a #HTE 101 book chapter (currently under review, with @DrStephAnie91), edited by @TheNewmanLab. Basically #howtoHTE 😊

What book has had the greatest impact on your thinking? Not just what you think, but how you think? #BookTwitter

Shrink rings, open eyes
Core modification is an open-and-shut case! Congrats to Justin and @SojungKim20, and #MerckChemistry collaborators, Dr. Lux, @yhcolin, @adpressa, and @Charles_chem for their work on a ring contraction of saturated heterocycles now in @ScienceMagazine

Hey @ChemDraw will you consider adding a "side view of an eye" to your wonderful sets of cartoons of bugs, organs, glassware, etc.? I'm annotating a chemical structure with a line of sight to explain how to view a molecule along an axis to get a certain projection. #RealTimeChem

Thoroughly enjoyed the expt/#compchem discussion in this new paper from @EmmertLab, @cyndihe and coworkers. Congratulations! #merckchemistry
Well, tweeps, I just woke up to this... so satisfying 😊 https://t.co/DxMzkrLEp0

Electronic excitations are calculated vertically according to the Frank—Condon principle, this means that the geometry does not change upon the excitation and we merely calculate the energy r…

Interesting perspective by @curiouswavefn I detest prima donnas. In energetics, such inflated egos leads to carelessness, a lack of focus, and a blase attitude. Such an attitude can not only damage your reputation, but can get you and those around you injured or killed.
Interesting observation based on working in both scientific and (now) engineering organizations for a few years: there are smart and wonderful people in both fields, but generally speaking there are very few prima donnas in engineering compared to science.
