I went to Kalustyans and I didn’t buy any more soap that is a win.

You’re welcome to take our break starting 3/30. I can’t promise your students will as well…

Ok no burgers but we might be getting the FIT name on the 28th street 1 trains stop!

Our new university president is giving the first 'All College' meeting later.

That's nice and all, but will we get to judge him eating a burger?

3/4 parts of this talk are now on substack: come check out how to explore waste across artists' books from a scientific perspective:

This summer will be 10 years since my PhD. According to the interwebs it also means I wil no longer be “early career”.

To see what it feels like I told ACS I am now “mid career” as I signed up for the spring conference.

… feels appropriately named. Very mid.

Was surprised to find a class of students didn’t know what frictionmaxxing was but all of them knew what looksmaxxing was

Running one of our favorite labs today: Chemistry and Art: Removal of Graffiti Ink from Paints Grounded in a Real-Life Scenario

I am presenting a poster in this year's #RSCposter online conference. We introduce our student co-created #OpenScience platform RECOMPENSE where we share resources for polystyrene upcycling into heterogeneous catalysts for Organic Synthesis #GreenChemistry #GreenChemistryEducation

It's the #RSCPoster competition over on LinkedIn but Bluesky deserves some love too:

I know right? Maybe the glory holes have something to do with it?

Tha would be the dream but I feel like between software and parts it wouldn’t be worth trying to salvage one.

And yet all the chemistry in the world can’t stop bad lighting.

Fuzzy bunny got her nails done and a clean bill of health.

Thoughts on a GCMS for a university that would be primarily used in the lab?

Is this something we could buy used?

Not against having students inject samples themselves, and cutting out peaks from a stripchart recorder...

Glad to know it’s only up from here.

Super excited to see this is now on the @rscbooks.rsc.org website!

Coming to you in May.

Yes! Thank you. 🦎

What are your recommendations for pop science books on intermolecular forces?

I'm trying to remember the title of the one focused on adhesion/Gecko's feet.

In case your cbd wasn’t acting quickly enough: a new route of exposure!

Oops the bandana and cap are actually part of the student exhibition Beyong Utility but you get both if you come!

Some great fits from the new exhibition at the Museum at FIT

On now until 4/19

Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.

I feel you detector I feel you.
