Andre the Chemist

Or... the aeronautical engineers were drunk.

A CD-2 Seastar with dual propellers, one facing forward and the other facing backwards on the same central housing.

Apparently that's how they really made it?

Ah yes. "Research" *wink* *wink*

Inorganic chemistry evergreen post.

Generous of you to think he would be able to understand the knock knock joke format.

It sure isn't. Very weird indeed.

The song is not even one of their singles, nor is it from the album Grave Dancers Union. Where the hell did this even come from?

Just sitting here, minding my own business when a song by Soul Asylum that I haven't thought about much in the past thirty years pops into my head and won't get out.

Brains are weird.

There's been a lot of evidence put out there recently that scientists and tech folks should have to take more humanities courses in their education.

Hopefully not a magnetic medel.

I just want to be able to give a🖕with my dominant hand.

Yeah, looking at it, it's not very helpful, sorry. But I remembered it, which is something.

Anyone on #chemsky have thoughts or insights into fully remote jobs that still live in the process development chemistry realm? May potentially need to transition to a remote position next year and trying to plan ahead

There were some (brief) thoughts on remote chemistry jobs recently on this here site. See replies to below.

A Simpson's reference? That's a *great* email.

"I love grooming dogs, so clearly my email will be 'DoggyStyle', since I style the dogs. But that's taken, as are 'DoggyStyle1' through 'DoggyStyle68', so I guess that means I'll choose..."

(that's how I naively imagine some of these choices are made)

There should be a class in high school that everyone takes called "How to pick an email address that you will use for the rest of your life 101".

Aw, how sweet of you!

(How much money does that come with, Nick?)

I haven't checked yet but I would probably know if I was one of this year's MacArthur genius grant winners, right? Someone would have told me.

It helped me connect with people in my local community.
This led to finding a new group of friends, joining their running group, and participating in a relay run across my current state.

I met the person who ended up introducing me to my wife

The formerly #ChemTwitter, now #ChemSky, community!

MOMs are the real nobel prize winners to me <3

I wrote a book prompted by a tweet!

Met some people on twitter who ended up tremendously helping in my promotion.

Also, just met some really good people.

this is really just a regular bet I have with some friends with the underlying premise that I (pessimistically) think all the winners will be men

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

So many ways other ways one could have gone with for a reference...
