Introduce yourself with what almost killed you. Me. Learned to rock climb in Minnesota and learned to rappel at Palisade Head. Given the height of the cliffs there, repel lessons were on a single line rope. Fast forward to climbing at Taylor’s Falls and I went to rap down a double line…

I would like to move chemistry-related conversations to chemchat, seeing as how chem/sky is basically a promotion place now. I would have liked that to have moderated, but it's bluntly clear that the publishing houses can't change their spots

The idea of getting textual advice that's complete bullshit premised on a misunderstanding written by something that sounds like a human and you can chat with forever and doesn't get smarter is not new to me. That's called a tech support forum. I grew up on those. Maybe that is my vaccine.

Going out on a #chemsky limb to state h-index +1 is way less exciting than tool-index +1…even though it required the inevitable second trip of the morning to the hardware store (queue the Tim “The Toolman” Taylor Grunts)

My name is […] and I am currently enrolled in Chem […] at […] and I stumbled across your lessons on thermodynamics. I was amazed at how wonderful a job you have done making these difficult subjects so accessible and easy to understand. You explain things so clearly and your lessons are extremely well structured. I just wanted to let you know how nice it is for someone to take the time to explain material instead of blowing through it and expect[ing a] student to retain it.

Thanks for taking the time and putting in the effort to allow students a better learning experience.

In the refelction can be seen a cartoon molecule of Anisole (chemscrapes mascot) and the laboratory (safety shower, fumehood, column running, gas cylinder, flammables cabinet, periodic table).

I only met Fraser Stoddart once, his lecture was so easy to follow and accessible. After his talk he was so kind! This will probably be the only time a Nobel laureate will ask to take a picture with me. Sending love to all those that knew him. #chemsky

Screen shot of a tweet from Fraser Stoddart from February 5th, 2018 with the text, "The Twitter Monster has the enormous pleasure of meeting Debbie Gale @heydebigale , @UofDenver , one of his highly active 25 Tweeters in Chemistry featured in C&EN last fall.
