Stopped in to get boba and one of the workers was wearing a Texas shirt, I started chatting with her and told her I was an alum… y’all, she’s never been to Texas, knew nothing about the school and welp, I am convinced her choice to wear that jinxed us today #TotallyReasonableTakes

preordered my copy! In addition to Debbie being one of the absolute best and most generous long time members of the chemtwitter (RIP) and now chemsky communities, she is also a phenomenal spectroscopist. Even if she weren’t both those things, this just looks like a great read! Order yours today!

I think you have a skill set I most certainly do not! If it was really truly something that was a game changer for my lab I'd prolly ping some chemists at UCSD and ask them a big favour to go pick it up until I could drive down to collect it

ok it's question (confession) time for US drivers only(?). What, to you, does "When Children Are Present" mean on a road / speed sign? I admit I am never quite sure... is it only 25 mph if I can *see* children or is it a blanket *during regular school hours* as I assume children are at school?

pickup in person in San Diego... plus touch screen doesn't work... two relatively minor hurdles that are enough for me to back out

findlatergroup.bsky.social @findlatergroup.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
huh... I wonder if its worth it for my lab as a wee bench top thingy for the undergrads / quick checks (and to avoid the somewhat ostentatious recharge fees of our NMR facility)?

Donna is one of my absolute favourite authors - her papers are amazing, the kinetics immaculate… I don’t really know the ins and outs of the field to say for sure about inclusion, but even as an outsider, when I saw the topic my mind went straight to Blackmond

this is just incredibly sad... I think Selly's work is outstanding, Bob Maleczka struck me as a decent person and was always nice in person and on NSF panels together... plus, I've known Tim Warren for ages... it's all so so sad and messy :(

can confirm... but I've been mostly blaming it on moving to the US at age 23 and discovering portion sizes in volumes hitherto undreamt of in Scotland

something similar for 1st semester organic chemistry... I have the students take a piece of paper, write the one thing they are most nervous about the course then ball it up and toss it into a cardboard box... I'm thinking I turn it into a word cloud and share it next class

NIH folks... didn't R03's used by $200k for 2 years? It looks like it's limited to $50k direct costs per year now - but I'm seeing a bunch of R03s in Reporter that have the 'old' budget, did they get them in under the wire? With grad students support in the ~$70k p.a. that's a tight budget

Has a picture ever 'rural-ed' this hard? Also, why does the barn need glasses... if I imagine the barn without them... oh my God, it's Super Barn!

I think I've seen this crop up here and there... but man, I'm seeing a lot of "major revisions" (even some "reject") for things that when you read them are really minor revisions at best...
