Molecular Motors: New Designs and Applications
Diederik Roke
1. The fact that the responsibility of keeping the lab a tidy and safe
workspace is shared, means in practice that it’s nobody’s responsibility. 2. When presenting a new molecular motor, the term microscopic
reversibility should be used properly. (Nat. Commun. 2015, 8406) 3. Allowing a paper that is a direct copy from a different paper to be
published is inexcusable for both the editors and reviewers. (Sol. Energy Mater. Sol. Cells, 2018, 185, 471; Nat. Energy, 2018, 3, 61)
4. Although there is a correlation, lab safety should not be mistaken with tidiness.
5. To further red-shift the wavelengths of light-driven motors, new designs based on heterocyclic dyes such as (iso)indigo holds more promise than the adaptation of current designs based on overcrowded alkenes. 6. Teaming up exchange students with someone of the same nationality
does not promote integration and inhibits mixing of nationalities within the group.
7. Column chromatography should be considered more as a science and less as an art.
