  1. @QuantumDot2 in the summer of 98, I had an internship and our task was to convert documents and #spreadsheets, user by user, from Smart which was a non Y2K compliant office suite to MS Office.
    Accounting was last and engineering nearly broke us as they did unholy things to their spreadsheets.
    Huh, that's weird. All of the head accountant's spreadsheets imported without issue.
    "Hey Les, can you show me how your calcs work. I want to make sure I didn't miss anything"
    Oh sure, you see this value times that *his hand snakes over to the ten key calculator* is...
    Hundreds of spreadsheets, not a formula to be had. Made my life easier, I suppose

  2. @QuantumDot2 @GetzlerChem @breitwieser +1 petrol smell liking! Diesel less so, kerosene pretty ok from what I remember (haven't um sniffed that in a while). Uh is this a #chemist marker? Are our histones and DNA methylated for this?
    And yes also model kits that I really wanted to work on - but just had one (too) early on and made a mess.

  3. I'm working on an updated LibGuide for chemistry at my university. We're a public, PUI (primarily undergraduate institution) in the state of Ohio (USA).

    I’ve drafted a guide here: gist.github.com/QuantumDot2/ab and am curious whether anyone sees any glaring missing resources, or can recommend any additions?

    We can't afford any nice databases (SciFinder, Reaxys, etc.). We do have CRC handbook e-access plus ChemDraw, as well as the state's OhioLINK library consortium.

    Thanks!

  8. I must be a weirdo, bc I actually *do* love using spreadsheets vs. performing calculations by hand! 💚

  9. An Amazon review ("honest reviews" in their username), along with their AI prompt and output! C'mon… who are we trying to fool here?

  10. Very nice collection of (organic) chemistry links and resources from @acsorganic

    Pretty amazed that they have an advisory board for this resource, and it seems (at first glance) to be pretty up-to-date.

    Kudos!

  15. Oh noes - the “System Adminiistrator” is warning me I might be in trouble. What should I do? 😱

  16. Just spent four hours trying to make a leak-free seal between a tank of UHP He and a regulator.

    Turns out the seat in the tank was corroded and no matter how tight I attached the regulator, nothing was going to work.

    (Luckily my wife suggested I try another regulator, and w/in ten mins of my conversation with her I realized I was on a fool's errand.)

    I need a beer. 🍻#GCMS

  17. "How Bell Labs Won Its First Nobel Prize” by Brian Potter.

    A great read about the 1925 Davisson and Germer experiment (the canonical “electrons have wave properties” xpt that our chemistry undergrads learn about in physical chemistry class).

    Such a long and winding road from inception to realization of what they had discovered. I was unaware of all the details, and found this very enlightening!

  22. Somewhat shameful chemical secret:

    I had to balance two redox equations today (using the half-reaction method I teach in genchem) to quantitatively neutralize two solutions:

    ◼︎ one of sodium metabisulfate
    ☞ using hypochlorite (bleach + sodium carbonate)

    ◼︎ the other of potassium iodate
    ☞ w/ sodium thiosulfate (photographer's hypo)

    I can't think of the last time I had a practical use to balance using the half-reaction method. Oh, the joys of chemistry! 🥰🧪

  27. I am in the mood for grading! What the heck is wrong with me... and why has it taken 25+ years for me to achieve this state?

    Secondly, grading gen-chem lab reports has been eerily spooky. Questions that almost nobody gets right are seeing success rates of 90+%.

    Of course, this year's exam average is about half a letter grade lower than last year’s, which was a whole letter grade lower than our historical averages, so goodness only knows what's going on.‡

    ‡ Spoiler: it's AI.
