Could I have a complete rebuild of my campervan rear wheel suspension please. And some new tyres if you see any. Thanks

Today I went out of my way to explain why certain bonds form in terms of electronegativity, stability and energy - but the students only got it when I resorted to “the hydrogen really wants to bond with the chlorine” and then everyone got it. How do you avoid giving atoms feelings? #iteachchem

Does anybody have a photo of chemist Gladys Elsmie - who worked with Brady to develop Brady’s reagent? She has the same name as Elvis Presley’s mother and that’s is all google will give me. @compoundchem.com @rsc-eic.bsky.social @rsc.org @chatchemistry.bsky.social

Today’s job. Enroll most of September’s year 9 onto the Bronze @dofe.org award. Thankfully this year, I am a bit ahead of myself as I asked them who wanted to join in year 8 - and can now process the list.

It does seem like nobody is there on twitter now - not even the people who enjoy telling me I am wrong. The early joy of this place was those people didn’t seem to get the memo.

Quick question. I am on the second day of a DSL course today. Are you only a DSL when in post as THE DSL or is everyone DSL trained a DSL? Like, imagine you are a pilot, but not flying this plane as THE pilot. Is THE pilot the only pilot and all other pilots not actually pilots? How does it work? ✈️

I’m still there. The bad take brigade seem to have left - so I am mostly getting good interactions there now. I am still having to systematically remove accounts that repost things I don’t wish to see.

Dr David Boyce @drdavidboyce.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Thanks. That was in the OCR textbook, but when I looked in some much older textbooks they also were that way around - so I thought it must be some convention.

Ok Bluesky chemistry. Why is lattice enthalpy on the right when the crystal is forming and on the left when it is dissolving? @chatchemistry.bsky.social @rsc-eic.bsky.social
