Question for #ChemSky: Instead of using tap water for my labs I use recirculating tap water. If doing this in a standard fume hood, would it work to run the lines through the utility shaft and then drill a hole in the interior access panel to pass the tubing through?

I can make it through tomato season and apple season. I will be looking forward to not buying food in the winter because right now it feels like my job is groceries.

If you wanted a physical property value, you'd go to the library and request the desk copy of the CRC handbook.

Not really appropriate for the season but going to Quebec meant being able to bring back good cheese in time for new potato season... hell yeah it's tartiflette o'clock.

Your bad art is better than AI slop.

four frame comic. first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won't go to your event if the poster was made by AI. second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won't read your post or email and I won't watch your video if they were made with AI. third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won't patronize your shop or restaurant if it is advertised with AI. last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can't take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?

Forgot to take pics of the homemade jars I emptied for it, but here's a B/A of the processing. Siphoning in pressure canning is still terrifying...

An "undisclosed" chemical spill at a local data centre is causing a bacterial bloom in the water. Anyone knows what it could be? As simple as glycol (why are they not disclosing then?) or could it be some PFAS thing, maybe used as fire retardant? waterloorecord.pressreader.com/9088/2026072...

Maybe making about 14 L of chicken stock was ambitious for my first time pressure canning #ChemistsWhoCook or #ChemistsWhoHomestead ?

Seven litre/quart sized jars loaded in a pressure canner. First batch of two...

Any organic chemistry educators used Meta glasses (or similar) to film themselves using molecular models? Thinking ahead of taking over the S27 offering of the online lecture and doing some "work with me" videos to increase use of molecular models.

AnalitikJena rep gave me a ship date of March 19 back in March (ordered last week of February). I received one in April. I have been trying to get an update from Fisher Sci on shipment of the other five for three weeks. It's getting ridiculous!

One thing I hate about working at an institution that schedules a full semester in the summer (May-August) is that students/TAs/most faculty/admin/support units often forget that we do that and then get surprised when summer vacations really inconvenience us.

He shared this to bemoan the fact that the NIH and institutions were massively pulling back on basic research infrastructure and pandemic preparedness. Reacting quickly to new crises doesn’t just happen — it’s the result of decades of work you can’t possibly predict will yield the results you need

Today I was contacted by the cooperative education people saying I needed to change my interview schedule because they need to be a minimum of 20 minutes long (I selected 15) and then I'd need to change the day because it would overrun the 4:30pm latest end. Anyway, this is the unwritten curriculum.

I started organic chemistry research at 17 yo without knowing what methane was. Ask my former PI how much my post-internship presentation was a humiliation ritual because it was extremely difficult to communicate to others who were lacking the basics.
