This MOF offers a PFAS twofer: sensing and removal Modified metal-organic framework glows when it captures perfluorooctanoic acid

With a few chemical tweaks to a known metal-organic framework (MOF), researchers have developed a material that quickly detects and removes a common per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) from contaminated water. cen.acs.org/environment/... #chemsky 🧪

That's my guess! Seems to help him visualize math, learning the squares.

Pink flower over grass

I didn't know bachelor's buttons could be pink! Found this guy in my wildflower pots. #bloomscrolling #flower #garden 🌱

I knew #numberblocks was good but I didn't expect my 5yo to suddenly factor 289000 into 17 and 17000 in his head at dinner this evening. Never underestimate kids when teaching #STEM. Asked him how he did it and he said he was thinking of rabbits 😂 🍎 #math #kidsarecool #parenting #rabbitmath

I volunteer often, so if anyone needs help and is on a low budget, reach out anyway and I'll see if I have outreach time available. I also answer questions about pursuing a career or education in STEM at no cost. Happy to help where I can. #smallbusiness

I work with teachers as well, especially those helping students with research projects. I'm in NYS and am familiar with (not affiliated or endorsed by) the NYS Master Teacher Program. I only offer educational services in the US.

I'm offering virtual educational services through my LLC, if anyone needs some help with chemistry courses. I also will virtually attend practice defenses & conference presentations and provide direct feedback. Please dm or email (stemfactually, Gmail) to request services and availability. #tutor

What’s in sunscreen, and how does it protect your skin from the sun’s rays? UV filters help prevent sunburn and cancer, while other ingredients encourage people to slather sunscreen on their skin

Everybody needs sunscreen, including people with dark skin. And we need a lot. Here is a look at what the ingredients in a sunscreen tube do. cen.acs.org/business/con... #chemsky

Yeah this unfortunately extrapolates and is not just an issue in science. I'm not sure which is worse, finding out a few years ago people search #tiktok for answers over using reliable resources or now searching #ai

The fabrication of resources is wild

Watch your #google searches too. Reddit answers are commonly pulled for that #AI summary at the top. I don't know about you, but I definitely do not trust u/randomperson to answer my pressing science questions.

Just because something "sounds science-y" doesn't mean it's right. I constantly see confidently incorrect posts on social media platforms (looking at you #reddit) where someone explains science with confidence and everyone believes it. Always #factcheck what you read. People are wrong A LOT. 🧪👩‍🔬🥽🍎🧬⚛️

So neat! Have to make time for enjoying nature

Great shot of the eyes!!

Science is way cooler than magic! 😀

I found this beautiful dragonfly in my garden and got lucky with light when I snapped a photo!

Dragonfly with iridescent wings

Iridescence of dragonfly wings is caused by structural coloration. When light passes through microscopic surface structures w/varying refractive indices, constructive & destructive interference occur. This enhances some wavelengths of light, creating vivid colors dependent upon viewing angle 🧪🍎🥽👩‍🔬🌱🧬⚛️

Three dragonflies on branches

Catching three dragonflies in one shot has to be lucky right #lucky #dragonfly #bugs 🌱

These get me every time I see them. They are so neat. We get them in NY, US as well with the right pollinator plants. Always excited when they show up since they are so unique

Love bloomscrolling! There are so many beautiful photos.

Look at how they change color too, it's so neat!

Yellow rose

Dark pink and yellow rose

Light pink and yellow rose

After months of battling what feels like every pest possible, I got a rose! It's changing color! Yesterday it was light yellow and pink; today it's significantly more vibrant. Very neat! I'm excited to see what it looks like tomorrow. Wonder if it's temperature, pH, or just the hybrid🌹 🌱 🧪 🍎🥽👩‍🔬🧬

Trail in the Woods by STEM Factually | Redbubble This is a photograph of a trail at a part near Syracuse, NY. I photographed it a few years ago and think it's very picturesque. Hope you enjoy as much as I do. Completely unedited photo!

I also put it on some #Redbubble products, for anyone interested.

Trail in the woods

I took this photo at a park near Syracuse, NY a few years ago. Unedited...just the beauty of nature! I remember how peaceful it was like it was yesterday. #NY #Syracuse #nature #woods #trees #YesNY

Ah thank you! I thought it was too big but that makes sense if the last segment is how you identify. Thanks!

It's a peony

Thanks! Yeah me too! He kept leaving the branch and coming back in a different pose, it's like he wanted a glamour shot 😂 I have about a hundred blurry shots and maybe four not-so-blurry
