Coming back on here to say that I’m about to publish my first paper! Keep your eyes peeled for an exciting JACS read…

Had the wonderful opportunity of meeting @gagliardilaura.bsky.social today! She gave a great talk on multiconfigurational methods 😊

Hello, #chemsky community! I’m excited to introduce myself as a PhD candidate in theoretical chemistry! 🤩🧪

Thank you 🙏

On top of everything else going on, how am I supposed to live, laugh, love in these conditions?

Locked out of my apartment the night before my qualifying exam…BECAUSE MY DOOR IS OUT OF BATTERY 😭

In my defense, a lot of computational chemists struggle to use a computer, so I think this is a sign that I’ve made it

I might be a computational chemist, but I am technically challenged first. I was doing a demo in class today, and for a full minute, my desktop screensaver was projected instead of GaussView 😭 my most embarrassing teaching moment 😭

NYT Spelling Bee declaring that “conrotatory” is not a word

Spelling Bee has once again thrown shade at the chemists #chemsky

Lol I recently learned that C-H activation has a very narrow definition. Anyway, been really enjoying learning about PCET in C-H functionalization 🤓🧪

Ya, we have to submit our thesis proposal and an out-of-field proposal (just anything that’s chemistry and not our thesis research)

I’m just proud of my cover pages LOL

Proposals due in 6 days, qualifying exam in 15 days…ya girl is about to be a MASTER OF CHEMISTRY ⚛️🧪 (hopefully)

Thinking of titling my thesis proposal “Holding Space for Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer and Feeling Power in Excited States” 💚

Fluorines went flying off the handle…instead of staying calm for ONCE 💚

I take my qualifying exam on January 29 which means that in 69 days, I (possibly) get to change my email signature and bio to Ph.D. Candidate

A prospective applicant told my PI that they know me from chem twitter 😭😭
