Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 23hThe Falcons defense simply giving up with 3 minutes to go in the fourth quarter is responsible for this impending loss, and there’s honestly no excuse for it. Offense played solidly. The secondary has been AWFUL. 000
Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 23hTwo awful football teams, with the Ravens infinitesimally worse than the Falcons. 000
Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 12/10/2026…and the Falcons have Falcon’ed once again. 🔔🐣🏈 I’ll be astounded if we win this one. Atlanta sports demons are summoning the curse as we speak. 000

Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Holy mackerel. I was at the game referenced in this call, in the 8th row of the student section in 2007. Probably the greatest moment of sport I’ve ever witnessed live, as LSU was number 1 at the time IIRC. youtu.be/y0gHXM7jb7g?...youtu.beKentucky defeats LSU - 35-34 in overtime.

Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I can't promise that stereochemistry will always sweep a woman off her feet. But it worked for me once! 😛 www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2026...nobelprize.org 000
Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 08/10/2026...but of course, you need TWO sets of hands to really explain enantioselective reactions. Diastereomeric transition states and all that. So I took her hands into my own... 😂 You can imagine the rest. A real art-meets-chemistry love story. 110
Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I explained that I was a graduate student studying asymmetric reactions, and started using my hands to explain the difference between enantiomers... 110
Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 08/10/2026She was a ceramicist, and IIRC, we met at a bar in C-U through a mutual friend-of-a-friend who was also a grad student in Chemistry. At some point, the inevitable "what do you do" question came up. 100
Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Oh my gosh, now is the perfect time to share the story of how asymmetric catalysis was involved in meeting my first girlfriend in graduate school. 121

Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I imagine we both learned about the Soai reaction from the same guy, which is fun to think about! 😂 010
Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I love organic chemistry, asymmetric catalysis, non-linear effects, and autocatalysis. I'm not sure it was Nobel worthy, and the Nobel press release is obnoxiously sycophantic. However, the area has been on Nobel prediction lists for many years—I remember seeing it on the old ChemBark list.static.klipy.comBad TakeALT: Bad Take 170

Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 06/10/2026One reason I just can’t quit football is the players that completely surprise you. CJ Henderson can PLAY, and no one expected this before this season. Huge positive impact on the Falcons defense. 000
Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Tyler Shough has played at Louisville and New Orleans, making him basically the anti-me. 👎 Falcons working really hard to beat themselves right now. Not that this is anything new. 😩 000

Michael Evans @mevans86.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The funny thing is, education is required BEFORE one can make informed choices with things like this. 🤷♂️😂 ”Empowerment” without education is just dangerous and/or stupid. 160
