Old Wintec. I ride in the rain so synthetic is more practical than leather. It does squeak a bit though…

Your Saturday afternoon timeline cleanse. There is something very zen about riding down a long empty road. #horse

We are the morning crew for the pledge break @wuft.org for UF’s public radio station. Support public radio!

Buncha 19 year old girls are gonna learn the hard way that financial independence is important when they're stuck in shitty marriages and have no ability to enter the labor market and support themselves.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

PREACH!!!!!

There is nothing more gratifying than waiting for your spouse at the men’s toilets because They. Had. A. Line.

Sign for the rump International Golf Links & Hotel.

This is awesome! The sign at Trump’s Doonbeg, Ireland golf course has been vandalized to remove the “T”. I barely had time to snap the photo as we drove past. Gotta love the Irish!

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully.

You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers.

Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

In the U.S. in 1825, *452* out of 1000 children born died before their 5th birthday.

By 1925, that number was 135 out of a 1000 children.

Today, in 2025, that number is *7*

And it is entirely due to advances in medicine, public health, and technology.

Oh yes.

They won’t hate you. My younger one understood—she went on to get a PhD in P Chem. Actually, the older one understands too. She has kids of her own and a full time tech job. Everyone turned out just fine, including me. 😉

Thanks Ted!

A professor and two PhD graduates in academic regalia.

Amid the chaos, science goes on and education goes on. Meet the two newest PhDs from my group: Dr. Atul Chaudhary and Dr. Bishwaprava Das! #ChemSky

And the run of @mcelweewhite.bsky.social group talks at #ACSSpring2025 begins with Rashmi Singh.

The @organicdivision.org has a really packed schedule with tons of amazing symposia for #ACSSpring2025 in San Diego
To help you find it all and plan your schedule here is our hand grid schedule #ChemSky

Probably unpopular opinion: but by boycotting, you are doing exactly what they want you to do — isolating those of us who are still fighting the good fight and cutting us off from scientific interactions that would benefit us all.

In your dreams….

Oh, that is good. Had to reset my music brain for it. I heard it coming back from playing with a friend who composes for the two of us. His music is…not Jethro Tull…

Texas announces first death in measles outbreak The Texas Department of State Health Services is reporting the first death from measles in the ongoing outbreak in the South Plains and Panhandle regions. The school-aged child who was not vaccinated was hospitalized in Lubbock last week and tested positive for measles. As of Feb. 25, 124 cases of measles have been confirmed in the outbreak since late January. Most of the cases are in children. Eighteen people have been hospitalized over the course of the outbreak.

Texas measles outbreak update: 124 cases, 18 hospitalized, & now the first death of a child, who was not vaccinated.

Tragic, preventable, & a direct consequence of the deadly lies spread by anti-vaxx grifters, one of whom is now the most powerful health official in the US.

Florida's public universities are falling victim to DeSantis' war on progress • Florida Phoenix Jeanette Nuñez has been installed as “acting president” of Florida International University. The smart money says she’ll soon be permanent. Her qualifications? Let’s see: She graduated from FIU 30 yea...

The state of play in DeSantis's plot to ruin FL universities. The goal here seems to be student, faculty and parent outrage. Oh, and grift.
