Is there a popular history of sulphuric acid?

I’m only finding one by Wyld from the 1920s

I've only recently learned how expensive it can be to post a job ad online ($800 for 30 days!)

Help us out by sharing this opportunity for a biomaterials researcher/educator at a public community college!

The one with circles deserves that award.

Sound on #bluesky... 😊

Working with biomaterials at FIT mean that your collaborators can take your products and fashion them into wearables, garments, and the futuristic products.

What a time to be alive. #bagelpub

#biomaterials can mean many things

At FIT they could be fabrics or fibers, ingredients in cosmetic or home products, or related to the basic science we teach each student

I'm happy with the organization of the odors and aromas, but I'm not convinved that the textures are in the right arrangement

After three years I'm assembling some wheels for the back of my students lab manuals. They will be asked to add chemicals and materials to the wheel from across the labs.

My father and two aunts both went to UMass Amherst at this time. Maybe they had their own copy.

Back to the lab!

I was wondering the same thing! Seems like they could/would

This would be to complement an analytical focused TLC lab of course

… or maybe feed into it?

They did talk a lot about salicyclate poisoning too

I’ve been struggling to find a good chemistry focused toxicology lab for my gen chem classes and it seems like distinguishing the active ingredient in mothballs is relevant and accessible

Its utterly gruesome 💀

Trying something new today:

Checking out the ‘Consultants Conference’ hosted by the NYC Poison Control Center and @nyulangone.bsky.social

This was a wonderful summer read.

All the drama of the ivory tower with no stake in the game

Found some new favorite sensory wheels: Unsurprisingly in a beautiful #cooperhewitt book housed in the Center for Book Arts

No is a complete sentence, but Yes, No, Yes, is a series of sentences that is often much better received.

The cutest of colors

Also got a great question last night: why it is called a red shift and blue shift and not a violet shift?

At least they did it neatly 🤷‍♂️

That was a lot of fun. It’s great having an outlet to share science without the constraints of the classroom.

Let’s do it!

What does one do when they are penalized for doing their job?

So we can do the demos in Faraday’s the Chemical History of a Candle of course.
