Friday – 27th June

And so the 2nd annual #RealTimeChem Calendar week is here. That means that, over again, it's time for the #RealTimeChem awards. This year the iii best tweets of the whole week win a fabulous #RealTimeChem Week 2022 branded mug as a prize, which y'all can find out nearly on the FAQ!

As in the previous year, the awards are ordered into Ag (10 winners), Au (seven winners) and Pt (3 winners). Please note that within these categories they are in no particular society of favoritism. Those Tweeters who have won a Pt will exist the lucky ones with a hazard to win the prizes.

So without further ado, onto the 2022 awards.

Friday. Final day of the working week and the last big day for #RealTimeChem week 2014.I'thousand out of interesting things to say in these opening monologues. I exercise know a joke about…

Perhaps not…onto the Awards for Friday.

Silver Awards

Aye Ethan I'm pretty certain that's a sign that it'due south best to call it a twenty-four hours…

Speaking of fire. Make sure y'all get your priorities right. Richard most certainly does.

My labs e'er preferred drinking glass back TLC plates too. So much ameliorate quality, so much more frustrating to cut every bit Lab Daily illustrates.

Daniela finds a World cup reference in her column chromatography. Even silica has it's favourites.

Young Brando isn't convinced this is a white solid. I'm inclined to concord, simply purples in this year dontcha know?

It's amazing the pictures you tin take with an iPhone these days, fifty-fifty through a microscope! Some close up Crystals past Annie of the Peczuh Enquiry group.

Oh ChemSusChem, being a publishing editor myself I feel your pain. No pleasing some, but it'due south all part of the job!

Joaquin shared a version of the periodic table I've non seen before. It'southward in Czech! I'm non certain they could fit anymore information on it if they tried. Beloved me a periodic table in another language.

Marker captures his chemistry in the sunshine. I wish my old labs had had views like that. I wish they'd had admission to sunlight actually…

Howdy Dave. HAL 9000 reborn? Henrik's reactor seems to be giving us all the eye.

Gold Awards

AuAward

Crystallization is an art non a science, but I've never quite seen crystal growth similar Logesh found.

These are the chemists of the future! I'm sure once they got those lab coats sorted they whipped up some reactions and all got 100% yield, right Charles?

There's been a lot of brightly coloured chemistry this #RealTimeChem week and these color tests for resins from Ignacio are yet another example that I totally chose the wrong chemistry for my projects…

Kevin has been tweeting all calendar week about all sorts of toxicology related chemical science so it seems fair to give him a reward for his contributions this week. I'm unremarkably happy to see pictures, but am glad in this case in that location aren't any!

Andreas has already won multiple awards this calendar week and Friday is no exception. Liquid crystals tin be fascinating as these pictures testify.

I'one thousand always amazed when simply shots of everyday lab chemistry turn out to have a sure beauty to them and who would have thought that opening a jar of two,iv-DNP would be then photogenic? Thanks Jason!

I hate selenium chemistry. It'due south toxic, it's stinky, it's just plain nasty. i_lean is braver than I. Some dandy shots of chemistry in activeness too.

Platinum Awards

Note that these iii lucky people volition exist entered into the last Tweet of the Calendar week competition and are in with the run a risk of winning a #RealTimeChem calendar week 2022 mug!

Ethan breaks out the models and what models they are! I'yard really loving this shot demonstrating crystal packing with crystal assurance. I predict a Pt award. Oh look.

I haven't seen many vines at all this #RealTimeChem week, so it'south nice to see a bit of live action chemistry related stuff. As ever, exercise-information technology-yourself for the win in the lab and Andrea definitely gets a win.

One of the reasons I decided to start #RealTimeChem was I dearest seeing chemistry in activeness, but I also love all the funny things that chemists get up to in the laboratory, specially when nosotros're bored. Heidi demonstrates this very well. Chemist + googly optics + terminal in lab  = hilarity.

Well done to Friday's winners! Just one more awards to get, which shall go upwards on Mon. #RealTimeChem week 2022 is almost over, but #RealTimeChem never stops. Meet you at the weekend awards! And then, it'll be nigh fourth dimension for Tweets of the Week!
