A few weeks ago, I noticed something strange. There are plenty of Telegram channels sharing daily science news, memes or general facts. But none of them offer a structured, daily dive into individual chemical compounds. So I decided to build one myself. The channel is called Molecules Daily, and it does exactly what the name suggests. Every evening, subscribers get a clean, data‑driven profile of a randomly selected compound. The information comes directly from PubChem (a chemical database), so it is reliable without being overwhelming. My goal was to create something that feels like opening a new card each day: consistent, factual and approachable for students, hobbyists and anyone curious about the molecules around us. Because the channel runs on automation, the compound choice is completely random. That means you might get water one day and a complex alkaloid the next. I like this unpredictability, but I am also thinking about adding a way for subscribers to request specific molecul
