Bass.

I've seen this happen in the past 12 months to a couple of senior colleagues. It took a long time to resolve... (I would take it as a sign for some long service leave.)

Prof. Ok-Sang Jung from Pusan National University published this nice piece on SiF62- forming from glass and common polyfluorinated anions during recrystallisation. #ChemSky

Thanks for the information!

The name Murraya koenigii was published in 1825. Researchers found that Linnaeus had already given it the name Bergera koenigii in 1767 (the precedent). It's also been given the genus names Camunium, Chalcas, and Nimbo. But many still hold onto Murraya.

Interesting. By eating/cooking it, or by preparing it to put on the skin and hair?

Perhaps Bergera koenigii is the preferred name? It contains a great array of odour compounds. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Curry plant (Murraya koenigii) leaves.

I strongly recommend growing a pot of curry tree (Murraya koenigii). They add an astonishing depth of flavour to curries (surprise, surprise!) and handles my level of Tasmanian frost. They do have high weed potential so check they are legal in your area and pull and dispose all flowers/berries. 🌱

Blows my mind industry spent decades suing everyone into oblivion for photocopying sheet music, or recording to a cassette, or using a VCR recorder, for ripping CDs and DVDs, for peer to peer or uploading lost media.

And now every AI slop company just commits theft at 1000000x and they don't care

The "push the limits" crop in my Tasmanian garden this year was melons. Of the six plants only one survived to give two mature fruit. Taste is good - fragrant but not overly sweet. I can't remember the variety, so will need to dig for the seed packet. 🌱

Great film (I'm just assuming it holds up). I went in expecting a pure comedy and was surprised.

Nostalgia... Might have to buy some.

Aesthetics are useful.

A question - for Australian friends. Does anyone know of any businesses based in Australia that are incorporating or enacting the principles of degrowth, post-growth or donut economics into how they operate?

Asking for a friend, but am pretty curious myself!

Cowards.

I think that one of our big failings as a field is that you can't spell "chemistry" using element symbols.

My finger was hovering.

Yeah, I've heard good things.

Migraine.... So no gig for me. 😫

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

It has been a great pleasure to welcome Dan Preston to @utas.edu.au today on the *first* leg of his RACI Alan Sargeson Lectureship Tour. It's been great to catch up with Dan and to hear more about recent results in metallosupramolecular cages. #OzChem
