Researchers in the McGuire Group have discovered molecules that store much of the carbon in space - this discovery of pyrene derivatives in a distant interstellar cloud may help to reveal how our own solar system formed. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…
Our detection of 1-cyanopyrene is published today in @ScienceMagazine !

An asteroid has led to the discovery of the largest molecule detected by #radioastronomy & the 3rd largest identified in space. Assistant Professor @Ilsastellar (UBC Chemistry) & @astrochembrett (@MIT) co-authored this discovery. 🔗chem.ubc.ca/new-space-mole…
PAHs are aromatic molecules consisting of multiple adjacent benzene rings. Gabi Wenzel (@gbwnzl) et al. use radio astronomy to detect the 4-ring PAH cyanopyrene in the interstellar medium, and discuss the life-cycle of PAHs in space. #astrochemistry science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This month's episode of Astrochem Coffee is out now wherever you get your podcasts! I chat with NRAO Jansky Postdoc Samantha Scibelli, and Ilsa and I check in from Green Bank on the transition from Postdoc to Faculty! Plus, more amino acids! coffee.astrochem.net
Non-detections are incredibly important and we should publish and value them more. Add to that second, third, and fourth detections/verifications of an experiment/result. Independent replication of results is valuable!

Really excited by this one! We’re getting real close to those SciFi machines from CSI, except we use rotational spectroscopy instead of mass spec (which is why it works😉).

It's our 1-year anniversary episode, and we've got a doozy absolutely crammed full of interviews as well as a a look at the history of amino acids in meteorites! coffee.astrochem.net
Ever wonder what cocktails you can make using space molecules? Want to know what the cosmic bar scene actually looks like? Join me in Space Track, Sunday at 10 p.m., at #DragonCon2024 to find out!

The interviews this month are spectacular, and I had a lot of fun reading up on Bill Flygare and his invention of the cavity-enhanced microwave spectrometer that changed, well, everything!

It's almost as if 99% of the stuff we are forced to do is bureaucratic bullshit with no actual value to science or society and thus these due dates are complete fiction ...

Since your DPR reviewers *clearly* are incapable of following instructions to not judge proposals on the time request, @almaobs, this information should be redacted and only sensitivities, etc. should be provided to reviewers.
Also on this one: Nobel Laureate entertains grandson by tossing random chunks of sodium off a Harlem River pier.

MIT is a host institution and there’s lots of great astrochemistry research here that falls squarely in the 51 Peg realm!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the ONLY thing needed for an initial paper submission should be a single PDF. It should take 30 seconds. All this other metadata nonsense should not hold up the review process and should be handled by the journal anyway.
