#sciviz — Public Fediverse posts

Tomorrow night (11/05/2025 at 6pm EST), we're going to have Kate Xagoraris as a guest. She's worked on a couple of really interesting HDA toolkits for star catalogs and proteins. It should be a great chat with a lot of science nerdiness!

So. This is a nice visualisation tool to play with! Both #ERA5 and @esaclimate.bsky.social datasets visualised for the whole world in a beautiful interface. It would be fantastic to see it updated for the last 10 years. #SciViz www.lexcube.org

Continuing my look at enolates, here is a #chemistry #ChemEd #chemistryeducation #SciViz #chemiverse summary of lithium enolates & enolate equivalents. This lays the groundwork for more control of selectivity (in all its forms). There is an obvious omission, enamines; they'll get their own summary. I hope this is useful

A new
#Chemistry #chemiverse #ChemEd #SciViz
1pager. The 2nd of a handful covering aldol(-like) reactions. Here are some of the common named versions. Remember, they are basically all the same reaction (as more wittily referenced here https://bsky.app/profile/bagphos.bsky.social/post/3krbmkoit4q2t )
Enjoy (& corrections welcome)

There are more at https://www.makingmolecules.com/handouts for those that are interested.

At last (apologies, it's been a long time), a new #Chemistry #ChemEd #SciViz #Chemiverse 1pager. The 1st of a handful covering the aldol addition/condensation. This is a simple intro. Hope it is helpful. If there are mistakes, contact me & I'll do the corrections (I didn't proofread! Naughty). More at https://www.makingmolecules.com
Hopefully new ones will be a bit quicker in appearing (but no promises)

The full text version of last 2 #chemistry #ChemEd #SciViz summaries on enols/enolates (here https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/111883243941327628 & https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/111804033475896858 ) can be found here https://www.makingmolecules.com/blog/enolsenolates
It's too detailed to be honest but I write full versions to know what I need in the summary
#chemiverse

As promised, the next https://www.makingmolecules.com #ChemEd #Chemistry #SciViz #chemiverse 1pg summary is about enolate formation & simple reactions. This is just the basics. There will be more covering aldol etc then all the various selectivities. Until then (I have lots of writing to do), enjoy

1st of the year! Summary of the basics of enols & their reactions. This #ChemEd #SciViz is meant to be an aide-mémoire not a detailed description. It was meant to include enolates as well but I've written too much! So there will be a 2nd one. Must learn to be more succinct! Enjoy

Turns out I waffle, hopefully having noticed this I'll be more succinct (& faster) in future! Current plan, is enolates, then the blog version before moving onto the basics of aldol & related reactions.

The full text version of last week's #Chemistry #ChemEd #SciViz summary of elimination (here https://mas.to/@nz_molecules/111400605317624711) is now available (https://makingmolecules.com/blog/eliminations). It is a little more comprehensive & also has the standard comparison of SN1, SN2, E1 & E2. Hopefully it is useful.

Sorry for neglecting this for a couple of weeks but here goes ... The obvious follow up to substitution ... elimination. I stress that these #chemistry #ChemEd #SciViz are aimed at UG. They do not cover some of the nuances that active researchers enjoy but hopefully they are a good starting point (and bigger hope 🤞, they don't have mistakes!).

🎨 Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm thrilled to share my science illustrations with you all. Take a look at some of my fav pieces that blend the beauty of art with the power of scientific visualization. Let's explore the wonders of science together! #science #sciart #scientificvisualization #sciviz #scicomm #vizscicomm #data #dataviz #datafam 🌟

Feel free to check out my portfolio and let me know what you think!

As promised, here is another old infographic. This was another popular one (& another that was slightly 'off topic' being more #postgrad than #undergrad ). This describes determining axial or helical stereochemical descriptors for naming.

Hope it is useful.

of course, I should have reposted these in order ...

My #introduction.

I work in scientific visualisation which can be simply described as turning numbers into pictures for the purpose of understanding. The data generally comes from supercomputer simulations and scientific instruments. I code in julia, c++ and python and Sidefx Houdini is my CG swiss army knife.
