ALT Social media – just like our partnerships, conferences, events and networks that span the globe – connects us with the wonderful worldwide chemical sciences community. As a community, we care about protecting our natural environment, about tackling discrimination to build a truly inclusive world, and about making cutting-edge chemistry accessible wherever it’s needed for the good of society. We have connected with our community on Twitter – now X – for 15 years, sharing our passion for the power of chemistry to change the world – and to make it more open, more green and more equal. But, as it becomes increasingly difficult to have constructive, evidence-based and respectful conversations on these topics we care deeply about, our community is leaving this platform. And consequently, so are we. From now on, we will not post on any of our Royal Society of Chemistry X accounts.
