"Gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) was performed on SHIMADZU LC-20A equipped with FP-2002 columns." Guessing they must have it rigged up to a fraction collector or something which threw me

Running a little Hajime Ito group chem to cook up some silyl boronates! GC looking good so far 😎 #RealTimeChem

Petite, but perfect 50 mL roundbottom flask on an aluminum heating block with a septum and balloon on top. The flask is about 1/2 full with a dark black solution (Pt/C, B2pin2, silane, cyclohexane)

Forgot to share my hydrogenation balloon from the other day! Tragically his smug demeanor did ~not~ enhance the hydrogenation yield.

An unwarrantedly smug face drawn in sharpie on a red balloon connected to a flask with a needle.

Scott this was my heart rate monitor the moment I opened the text:

Nick's pixel watch heart rate monitoring showing a rapid and large spike to about 128 bpm corresponding to the time he received a text that his friend met Sidney Crosby, complete with fucking picture.

Circling back to the joy I felt at this picture to cope. Also the presser of NatMac telling the story of Sid grabbing his leg to beat him at beach drills when he was 16 lol

Two delightful and devious gremlins who I adore: Seth Jarvis and Brad Marchand screaming and excitedly side hugging decked out in Team Canada fits for 4 nations

Big Eden is on Netflix! One of my fave early 00s gay romance movies. Just makes you feel good inside as you watch.

Movie blurb about the film Big Eden (2000) "A thirty-something gay guy, Henry Hart, returns to his childhood Montana home to confront his unrequited passion for his high school best friend."

New season of Castlevania: Nocturne was outstanding and beautiful, as expected. Also, critically, Mizrak and his babygirl eyelashes are back

beautiful olive skinned warrior monk with a strong roman nose and the most expressive sad eyes complete with eyelashes that would make anyone envious (Mizrak from Castlevania: Nocturne)

Update: the other conditions may be .... worse? Hard to litigate

Babe, wake up! New contender for worst crude 19F NMR I've ever taken just dropped

19F NMR spectrum with a frankly unreasonable (>50?) number of compounds present from a deceptively simple substrate.
