Die, dibenzothiophene, die

Dibenzothiophene is one of the things I follow because it is such a difficult problem in desulfurization of hydrocarbons.

However, I also follow lots of other technical issues. To limit my browsing time and increase my sleep time, I try to limit the amount of stuff that lands in my inbox.

TIP: If you, like me, follow more than one technical issue, consider fine tuning your email alerts.  For example, while desulfurization may be a major interest, you may be able to save yourself time by focusing on a particularly recalcitrant aspect of desulfurization … dibenzothiophene.

I have set up a Google® Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) alert that suits my purposes:

allintitle: dibenzothiophene

This limits the number of items I have to consider each morning. Of course, it is not ideal for in depth research, but it provides me enough information to determine whether I have to go deeper.

Your requirements will differ … but the principle remains the same. There are only 24 hours in the day. So use them wisely. Now, go back to sleep.

P.S. Here are some recent results from allintitle: dibenzothiophene
