Calling all grades 3-5 teachers! (Many of you know one- share this with them)?

We need your participation in Aug & Sept. And it is fun, ready to go, and a great learning opp!

Please share.

I went to the Lindau meeting when I was a 2nd year graduate student (way back in 2006!) and it is a truly amazing experience. I am so glad it is still going on, and I strongly encourage students to apply!!

I feel like I have been trying to spread this message for years and no one has been listening.

That Computes: Faculty Member's Fellowship to Benefit Students Cecilia Vollbrecht is one of just 10 faculty members from around the country to earn a fellowship that will help students learn new skills.

Thrilled to have receive this fellowship to help add new skills to the chemistry curriculum that will help my students become better scientists! And thanks to the college for highlighting it! www.kzoo.edu/news/faculty...

Followers of the Church of Chemjobber, I'm delighted to endorse Dr. Chris Cramer for President of the United States in 2028. Now let us pray.

I can see an argument that lots of places put too much cream cheese now, but no cream cheese at all? 🤯

URichmond is hiring two tenure-track faculty. One in biochemistry/chemical biology and the other in experimental physical chemistry. This is a terrific place to work - our focus is on our talented undergraduates and we have robust research resources. chemistryjobs.acs.org/job/assistan...

The Klem Lab at LSU is hiring a postdoctoral researcher in computational biochemistry!

Max ALSO tried to give everyone an A this morning.

Our college communications director sent out a shared spreadsheet and asked people to fill it in with any cancelations, such that if there was a media request (which would come to his office) asking if a particular grant was canceled or how many cancellations we had, he would have the info.

I know there is nothing yall love more than filling out the annual DFT poll!

I am voting for laundry folding as the task I am most looking forward to the AI doing for me.

Maybe we could get @everywherechem.bsky.social to send an officially ACS letter to Will Shortz to rectify the situation?

I know! I tried it at least three times, thinking surely I had just accidentally misspelled it because there was no way it wouldn’t be included.

ATTN: Faculty Teaching Physical Chemistry Laboratory Courses

The Raker Research Group at the University of South Florida invites you to complete a survey on physical chemistry laboratory instruction which should take 25-30 minutes to complete.

Have you considered setting this to the tune of “We Didn’t Start the Fire”?

I had so much fun being a judge at Cal Poly DataFest this afternoon! If you aren’t familiar with DataFest, it is a two-day undergrad competition where students find and tell a story in a dataset. All the students did amazing work! If your campus hosts a DataFest I highly recommend volunteering.

This (ACS' communications to its councilors*) was useful to me, including clicking through the ACS presidential succession and what they were saying. ACS President-Elect Hernandez' statement is most relevant: www.acs.org/about/govern...

A flier promoting Stand Up for Science. A cartoon drawing of lady liberty in blue. A red banner at the top reads “Stand Up for Science 2025- Science is for everyone” The local details are March 7, 1 PM on Baker Lawn at Cal Poly SLO.

Ok, today is clearly not a funny day, but this is the funniest post on BlueSky maybe ever and I am literally the only person who has liked it.
