If it's a new reaction, and especially if something that is not anticipated, it should be published in the highest journals. Academic journals are not a place only for publishing catalysis results for use to industry. More often than not, your catalysis is under-optimized for industry purposes anyways. Academia should focus on discovery and not optimization and it's sad to see people being punished for it. Hopefully as Yu becomes more famous, more reviewers will get the message. uncle samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-41068284282824791872016-09-23T10:22:32.317-04:002016-09-23T10:22:32.317-04:00I was watching the Jin benchpress video (link in h...I was watching the Jin benchpress video (link in handle) and remembered that there's this great video of Huw Davies and Jin playing table tennis that I can't seem to find anymore...can anyone help me out?Jin is a beasthttps://youtu.be/4ij38AjFfhgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-24937921181266680092016-09-23T10:14:03.850-04:002016-09-23T10:14:03.850-04:00That's what we call "full professor chemi...That's what we call "full professor chemistry"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-22333061776921515262016-09-22T13:52:44.547-04:002016-09-22T13:52:44.547-04:00I absolutely love the footage of JQ running a colu...I absolutely love the footage of JQ running a column on clean solvent.Philnoreply@blogger.com
