@hankgreen.bsky.social what is this?! K 6 - Scrabble is a 5-point letter and that point is in the wrong spot... certainly not 19K on the periodic table. Explain yourself please.

Quit academia- sleep better, feel better, less stress, more time, and happier.

@dropout.tv am I losing it or is the latest gastronauts sped up by like 5-6%?

It's fixed now.

I don't always post on here, and I'm certainly not the best peer reviewer, but someone, ANYONE! should have caught this before it got ripped apart on www.reddit.com/r/OrganicChe... come on we should be better than this. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #chemistry #organicchemistry

In undergrad, Moorhead MN- I went into a final and it was 75-80 degrees and two hours later it was 28 and a blizzard.

Don't jump for joy when taking CV.

What's all these lil fellas on my yucca plant?

20 years ago in undergrad I learned my most valuable lesson. Eating Cheetos with chopsticks drastically reduces getting orange stuff on everything.

Ever just buy a bunch of chemicals with a plan in place, only to forget that plan several week later when they finally arrive? Asking for a friend.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by Polymarket Intel, with the handle @Poly ..., posted 2 hours ago. The post reads: "Massive call options on $SPY were opened minutes before Trump’s 'buy' post—then surged 2100% in an hour." It includes a mention of @unusual_whales . Below the text, there is a chart showing the price movement of $SPY call options over a few hours, with a significant spike labeled "Insiders" just before a larger spike labeled "Public." The chart indicates a rapid increase in value following Trump's post, suggesting potential insider trading activity.

Who had the inside scoop and traded on it illegally?

At a thrift store overhearing conversation about "chem trails" and following my wife's instructions "not to engage..."

Its fun work - made me crack open the CRC Handbook of Photochemistry and Photobiology book.

1980s?

Ho ho, hey hey, how much money did trump lose today?

Are there any #chemsky summer reu's that an exceptional undergraduate student can still apply to?

Not the spring break we wanted.

Watching my kid get upset about things she cannot control and me explaining to her, "This is why daddy doesn't bet," makes me think about that time in Vegas when I could have bet on Texas A&M after they were down 24 points in some bowl game only to come back and win it, but I didn't...

I have a student who has successfully soldered/built a potentiostat. Now, we can see if we can incorporate a midi-keyboard to create an electrochemical impedance signal. We are one step closer to an electrochemical keytar...

Just found out that my dog absolutely loses her mind if you whisper to her...

"Waste Fraud and Abuse" is a good way to describe trump

My last new prep was about 35 minutes before class.

Former students visited me today to highlight the culture shock that is graduate school. At the same time, it's clear that they are enjoying it. It truly is wild what 4 months of dedication can do to a person.

I had a student attempt my syllabus quiz 120 times... I don't think that's an effective use of their time...

NIH In Your State - United For Medical Research Select a state on the map to see the impact of NIH funding across America.

This map shows how much NIH funding goes to your state. I used the info on my state when I called officials to ask them to push back against the freeze. And if I can do it when my senators are Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville...well, I mean...

Glad I didn't waste all that time working on the NIH grant...

This year, dance like nobody is watching...

What your stir-friday looks like if you have a kid who prefers their veggies green and eaten before Friday. #chemistswhocook
