Folks, does anyone know where I can find a background (wallpaper, tapestry, painting, etc.) of flamingos? I want to take a photo in front of it. Thanks! #BCCE2026

Once again, I’m pretty sure the speaker said “gen chem one” not “junk in one”, although, some of my students may agree with the auto captioning… 🤣

My neighbor has a bird feeder that gets frequented by deer. This morning I saw 2 bigger deer (male) and 1 smaller deer (female). Could they be siblings? Or did I just see gay deer dads?

Hi #ChemSky I’m planning to start a podcast called “No, I have NOT always been in science”. In each episode, I will feature someone in STEM who has had a nonlinear pathway (e.g. ppl who started outside STEM but switched later; ppl who got heavily involved in non-STEM related activities, etc.) 1/2
A drawing with stick figures, which says “expectation” and shows a straight line pathway from being born to becoming a scientist, then says “reality” and shows a very chaotic and winding pathway from being born to becoming a scientist

How feasible is the idea of “MOF LEGO”? That is, something like LEGO pieces but are in the shapes of linkers and vertices that people can use to build MOF structures? I think that would be a great hands-on or outreach activity for students. Anyone in the #ChemSky community have any ideas?
