@CO2Coalition To understand how CO2/temp relate, we need to explore #physics,
& the chem properties of the #carbondioxide molecule.
Learn about CO2’s #DipoleMoment & how change in energy balance affects DENSITY, & behavior.
Shit, I burnt my toast.

@CO2Coalition Dipole moments are the change in energy between atoms.
Think of this energy change as a soccer ball w a force towards a specific direction. This “pulls” naturally on atoms when they join together to make molecules.
Its based on the atoms’ electrons.

@CO2Coalition Electrons ‘spin’ around the nucleus of an atom (similar to planetary orbits)

The closer the electron to the center, the faster it has to spin. #MolecularOrbitalDiagrams for CO2 show us where electrons spin based on energy available.

Before there was Lena Horne, there was Savannah’s own Fredi Washington. She was one of the first African-American actresses to gain recognition in films and challenge racism in Hollywood. A proud Black woman, she refused to pass for white.
Born in 1903, Frederika “Fredi” Washington excelled as a dancer, actress, journalist, and Civil Rights activist. She began her career as a dancer in the 1920s in “Shuffe Along,” the first Broadway show created, produced, and performed by African Americans.
It was a landmark in African-American musical theater, credited with inspiring the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and '30s. Washington became lifelong friend with another dancer named Josephine Baker.

@yessmanstu @GeraldKutney @goddeketal This is a similar explanation to how other molecules (with different properties) absorb different wavelengths of light (energy)

For CO2 the way the electrons spin depends on how much energy the molecule has, and the levels look like this (MO diagram from flickr.com/photos/6905729…)

The Correct answer is (C)
(1/5)Recombinant vector vaccines are made through genetic engineering. The gene that creates the protein for a bacteria or virus is isolated and placed inside another cell’s genes.
(1/5)Recombinant vector vaccines are made through genetic engineering. The gene that creates the protein for a bacteria or virus is isolated and placed inside another cell’s genes.
(2/5)When that cell reproduces, it produces vaccine proteins that mean the immune system will recognize the protein and protect the body against it. Hence, statement 1 is correct.

(1/4)Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are devices that use bacteria as the catalysts to oxidize organic and inorganic matter and generate current.
(2/4)Electrons produced by the bacteria from these substrates are transferred to the anode (negative terminal) and flow to the cathode (positive terminal). Hence, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

with activity cliffs -- molecules that have highly similar structures, but large differences in bioactivity -- we see that deep learning still lacks behind of traditional machine learning for bioactivity prediction.
We showed that evaluating your models performance activity cliffs is crucial for prospective applications, especially in low data scenarios. To do this we developed a cool tool called MoleculeACE github.com/molML/Molecule…
On Wednesday I tried to define a #metamaterial.
Now it's time to define #metals, which should be way easier, right?
Spoiler: even in a #metallurgy group @LNM_eth, not everyone agrees!

First a list of "high-school science" definitions that don't really help us. The
"Metals are reflective": Yes but not all reflective things are metals. Not definition friendly.

"Metals are ductile and malleable, easy to work with": Not necessarily. Good luck working with Tungsten, which is definitely metal.

First up – my very first few years at @RMIT! Completing 2 degrees in Applied Science & Nanotechnology, I learnt so much about how the world around us works on the smaller scale – and also how to make cool compounds in the chemistry labs!
During these first four years completing these degreed, I also had the opportunity to tour the Australian Synchrotron @ANSTO, which I learnt is currently used to carry out crucial research in Australia!
