In a ‘Did you know…’ article featured today, reminds us that an independent panel of expert scientists found no evidence that ‘cold fusion’ had ever occurred at the National Institute for Cold #Fusion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Cold_Fusion_Institute

National Cold Fusion Institute - WikipediaMy Gen Chem students will be learning about equilibrium and the Haber-Bosch process the week after next, and Derek Lowe has a good pithy post about how that's very relevant to current events

From a colleague at Donostia / San Sebastián (Basque, Spain):
We have a fully funded predoctoral position at my group for a Chemist, a Physicist or related. The project is somehow flexible and can be directed more towards spectromicroscopy or spectroscopy:

And a short postdoc for an X-ray spectroscopist (ideally the contract will be extended, but will depend on funding that is been requested). Ideally with X-ray or neutron scattering experience, but Absorption or other spectroscopies might be also interesting:

It doesn't look like it, but I made this floral pattern with a particle system. Yep, art inspired by a debugging process while developing a chemistry simulation: https://www.artatomic.io/product/particle-flower/S6DU4HOI4A5FLGMWQDFYT4FP
