Stefan Grimme (#UniBonn ) receives the Chemistry Europe 2025 Award! 🏆 📍 IUPAC 2025, Kuala Lumpur 🎉 Award Ceremony during Opening Ceremony: 14 July 🧪 Award Lecture: 15 July, 8:00–8:45 am #IUPAC2025 #ChemistryEurope #chemistry chemistryviews.org/stefan-grimme-…
Remember when economists at a scientific journal randomized who authored a paper? 65% recommended rejecting the manuscript when it came from an early career scholar... But only 23% recommended reject when it came from a Nobel laureate from the same university.
The Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling (JCIM) and Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation (JCTC) announce a joint Special Issue on Computational Chemistry in the Global South: The Latin American Perspective. Submissions are open through October 30th, 2025.
Congratulations to Prof. Gershom (Jan) Martin of the Department of Molecular Chemistry and Materials Science ,upon being elected as a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science (IAQMS)
Milko van der Boom – who served as as the head of several key chemistry departments before assuming his current leadership role in December 2024 – insists his chemistry department will rebuild after the destruction caused by Iranian missiles. chemistryworld.com/news/how-do-yo…
Scientific research is at the heart of Israel’s success and has worldwide benefits. Our work will continue despite adversity, says Alon Chen go.nature.com/4kp4uMO

Remember the old story of the non-classical norbornyl cation?🤔 It can also be classical, and it can react by Quantum Tunneling!🙀 And wait until you hear about the effect of putting it into an electric field...⚡️ pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Proudly part of Phys Org Chem JOC Issue⚗️

FYI, Ben-Gurion University was only slightly shaken by the rocket falling in the neighboring Soroka Hospital. The chemistry building is fine. Some broken glasses in other buildings.
One of the best starts to a Quantum Mechanics lecture ✍️

Sadly, and due to obvious circumstances, I will not be able to join you next week at WATOC in Oslo.🥲Have fun in my name. I hope I will be able to see all of you next time in Mexico! Let's try to bring peace and stability through science for everyone.

Theoreticians fighting about which functional is better, and here you have experimentalists having irreproducibility problems because of a stirrer 🤪
🧲Magnetic stirrers - used daily in millions of labs - may silently sabotage reproducibility. Our @JACS_Au article describes drastic variability in reaction outcomes based on vessel placement doi.org/10.1021/jacsau… @ACSPublications @ACSCatalysis @ChemistryNews @NatureChemistry
