I wonder if there's a #UK wide problem with #pharmacies not #dispensing the correct #prescription #medications #prescribed by #GPs? Those with more than one or two #pharmaceuticals to take may be faced with a range of collection dates for repeats, a mix of batch & non-batch prescritpions & #chemists (given the required 7 days notice) who rarely get the packs of #tablets correct. Getting the correct number #pills & everything needed always seems to require extra visits & discussions.

So have already had interesting convos today about singing #rocks (see link for example), Guano Islands Act, and am pondering scientists propensity to use all their senses (#geologists lick rocks; #biologist keep lists of phyla they have eaten; #chemists test drugs on themselves; what do #physicists do?

You might want to follow @feditips until you have figured things out.

There is a group thing (I've never used it) - or there might an instance for #lab people or #chemists that you could join (not least for their local timeline).

All search here works via #hashtags that you can also subscribe to (by clicking on them and then selecting the little figure with the plus sign). Also follow lots of people. And use a 3rd party app to access mastodon from your mobile.

The World's Most #Dangerous Substances
https://www.stitcher.com/show/everything-everywhere-daily/episode/the-worlds-most-dangerous-substances-303354368
There are a great many #chemicals that are dangerous to work with. Things that you wouldn’t want to get on your skin or somehow ingest.
However, there is a category beyond that of #substances that are so dangerous that many #chemists wouldn’t want to work with them under any circumstances.

It is always worth reading
the #BulletinOfTheAtomicScientists

They say
#AUKUS #submarines
https://thebulletin.org/2023/04/whats-next-for-the-aukus-submarine-deal/#post-heading

They say:
"... highly enriched uranium fuel for the submarines, the type currently used in US and UK submarines. This is the same material that can be used—with chemical processing and other capabilities that Australia does not have—to manufacture the core of a nuclear weapon."

#physicists, do any of you know what 'capabilities Australia does not have' might mean?
#chemists, what chemical processes are TBoAS referring to?

I do not understand. If one were to take an oxy-acetylene torch to an AUKUS submarine, might one not have a reactor core on ones workbench in days? From there, isn't machining a dense (radioactive - yay fun) metal the only step to making a gun-type device?
You'd have to throw away the sub, some humans, a lathe and a foundry, yes. In this caper, throwing away lives and money is 'collateral damage', is it not?

How is it even remotely possible that this is not a breach (or an open backdoor) of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty?

What are some of the #bugbears of #analytical #chemists watching #chemistry & #analytical #science on #TV? Find out some of mine in the fun #explainer I made with the RMIT University #comms team. Paste your own bugbears or questions in the #comments (I’ll try to reply) or just enjoy. #ozchem #scicomm 😀

From the "I'm not #vegan but I do all the #cooking for one" department:

Once the #food #agriculture #conglomerates get on the #plantbased wagon, everything starts stampeding towards #vegetarian and #vegan offerings (good!). Once you have a whole #NewJersey full of #foodscientists and #chemists working on making plant-based taste indistinguishable from, and #economiesofscale kick in, and cost parity is reached its just a matter of time.

I was sent a chemistry meme.

I have no clue what kind of #labs I'm looking at, but the labs I worked in during the 70's and 80's, when rules were way more relaxed than today, we kept it painfully clean, organized and as safe as humanly possible.

During day time we had up to 10 #chemists at work, or just a few on night shifts. So obviously it didn't look as clean and deserted as lab #1, but certainly not as crammed and messy like lab #2.

Never annoy #chemists. They can (dis)solve almost anything.

@HappyGlaws A pair of #chemists walk into a bar. The first asks for some H₂O. The second begins, "I'd like some H₂… oh…" looks at his companion with suspicion and finishes, "… as well."

A murder plot was foiled.

#chemists #chemistry community. 🤔Hi all, there has been some posts about #rscposter. And where it takes place (a superb virtual event in Feb 23). I cannot speak on behalf of #RoySocChem. I can take your thoughts back to CEO Helen. Can you please favourite/boost/comment to let me know the community views . It helps to hear from our membership. I am the Treasurer of Royal Society of Chemistry and want to support your views by feeding them back. 🤗

The international team of scientists, including #chemists from the Ural Federal University, has developed a substance that may become the basis for #drugs that suppress or alleviate a number of #neurological disorders. These include, for example, #psychosis, #schizophrenia, #Parkinson's and #Huntington's diseases, etc.
