Can changing one atom change how morphine affects the body? Prof. Richmond Sarpong’s chemistry talk at the ACS JAC Symposium had us thinking differently about molecular design. 🧪 Watch the full video. #RantingScientists #SyntheticChemistry #JACSSymposium #ACS150

ACS JAC Symposium @UCT was 🔥 Watch my video on how I mentioned what I understood about some of the posters at the Symposium 👇🏾 🍄 Psilocybin cubensis fermentation 🍷 Red wine silver nanoparticles ⚛️ Gold(III) anti-cancer agents etc… #rantingscientists #AC150 #JACSSymposium

This two-day symposium with @J_A_C_S at @UCT_news #CapeTown was really memorable and impactful on my learning journey. @RantingSCIs

Now this is where research gets really interesting. One finding can open the door to a whole new idea.

A microplastic study sparked a bold idea: turning polyimide microplastics into a potential UV shield for food coatings helping extend shelf life and reduce post-harvest losses. @IFT @SaitamaUniversity @AdeolaoOmotosh1 #RealMadridMálaga

What happens to fungi when the climate around them changes? In the lab, researchers are recreating climate conditions by manipulating temperature, CO2 and water activity to in how fungi may respond to a changing climate. #Research #Mycology #wateractivity #viralvídeo

Out of every nanoparticle characterization method, only 2 own my brain 🧪 UV-Vis (watching electrons dance with light) and FTIR (reading phytochemical fingerprints in green synthesis). Which one's yours? 🔬 #Nanotechnology #GreenSynthesis #SciComm #rantingscientists

Mycotoxins in our maize and sorghum are a real health threat and fixing it takes more than food science. 🌽🧪 #Mycotoxins #FoodSafety #FoodScience #PhDLife #FoodSecurity

This is why we need more conversations like this. 🔬🌽 Food safety is bigger than what happens in the laboratory; it connects agriculture, energy, technology, sustainability, and the food on our plates. Watch the full conversation and tell us: What stood out to you the most? 👇

If you could only keep TWO nanoparticle characterization techniques, which would they be? 🤔 Mine are UV-Vis and FTIR. One tracks nanoparticle formation, the other reveals the phytochemicals behind green synthesis. @AdeolaoOmotosh1 #Nanotechnology #Science #Research #STEM

How does a fungal toxin lead to cancer? 🤔 When fumonisin blocks ceramide synthase, the entire sphingolipid pathway is disrupted affecting cell growth, brain and skin development, and increasing the risk of liver and esophageal cancer. #Science #Biochemistry #Research #STEM

Everything builds on everything. 🧬 The concepts you learn today could become the foundation of tomorrow's breakthrough. In science, no knowledge is wasted every discovery starts with understanding the basics. @BiochemistryACS #Science #Biochemistry #Research #STEM

Biochemistry is the core of science. 10 years after learning glycolysis, the Calvin cycle and the TCA cycle, I'm now building on that knowledge to understand mycotoxin biosynthesis. Science is truly connected. #RantingScientists #ScienceTwitter #Biochemistry #Elon musk

10 years later, I'm still building on what I learnt in biochemistry. From the Calvin cycle ➡️ glycolysis ➡️ TCA cycle ➡️ mycotoxin biosynthesis. Science is connected in ways that continue to amaze me. #RantingScientists #ScienceTwitter #Biochemistry #JossGawin #virałpost
