Stop scrolling and post two characters that bring you happiness.

I needed 15% ethanol to rinse the dye but a few drops of gin worked just fine.

Tried out this little handheld microtome. With a little practice I made some nice slices and tried my hand at dyeing. Okay! I think I’m ready to introduce this to my biology students.

He needs to attack their campaign style, not whack-a-mole each attack separately, like “Once again, Paxton is name-calling me things he thinks the American people will see as a burn.” And take it from there. Snack on beef jerky on the campaign trail.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Great idea, I can see how all the air pockets make it burn like compressed gas! I tried this with a peanut years ago, it was lackluster compared to your cheese doodle.

A funny joke would somehow include the heavy ring stand.

If your class doesn’t have gas piped in (mine doesn’t), butane canisters are an effective option. Add a clamp for security and you’re good to go! #EduSky #ChemSky

A small butane canister with a burner attached. Canister is clamped to a ring stand. The apparatus is on a lab bench with a fire extinguisher and emergency eyewash station in the background. A striker is nearby.

I think a personal statement gives you a broader range of things to talk about (what are you interested in) whereas a statement of purpose is fairly targeted (what are your goals and why).

We need to address this before students get to you. I teach high school, where we have more control over students. I recommend: no computers during class time and all assignments completed in writing, in class. If a student sneaks home work to finish with AI, dock the grade, then give a 0 next time.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

It’s a tradition that I ask my “Physics III” class to create some memes about our class material. It’s *also* a tradition that they’re super good at this. Please enjoy, like and share! 🧪 (I promised my students extra game points if this goes nano-viral!) (Front pic is my own entry.) 1/17
