  1. First year chem students modeled stoichiometry yesterday by making s'mores and looking at component unit ratios. We'll do notes and practice today with chemical equations.

    Web dev are building their own forms, playing with different input types and attributes.

    AP Chem are working more on limiting reagent/advanced stoichiometry topics to continue to develop foundational skills.

  2. First year chem are modeling stoichiometry/reaction conversions by making s'mores. It's a nice skill lab because they learn how to light burners safely at the same time.

    Web dev students are creating their own forms and learning about different input types.

    AP Chem is struggling with limiting reagent concepts, so we'll work on that in groups today.

  3. What if a chemistry concept taught for nearly 100 years has been explained incorrectly?

    Researchers say the inductive effect in neutral molecules may not gradually extend across three or four chemical bonds as many textbooks teach. Instead, their findings suggest its influence may stop after just one bond. 😮

    Modern tools are giving scientists new ways to challenge ideas that have been accepted for generations.

  8. How can we figure out, how protein activity is controlled in space and time?

    I am very happy that Jana Volaric joined the @LED3hub as an NWO VENI fellow this year to address exactly this question using exciting optical tools.

    Very much looking forward to seeing, how her research will develop further in the future.

  13. First year chem will keep working on unit conversions (mass/mol/particles). We'll start reaction stoichiometry later this week.

    Web dev is learning about landmark HTML elements and writing lots and lots of HTML.

    AP Chem is doing limiting reagent work today to analyze some lab results from last week.

  33. William Perkin was 18, trying to synthesize quinine for malaria, and washed out a flask. The residue was purple. By accident he'd discovered the first synthetic dye — mauve — and the Victorians immediately lost their minds over it. He was trying to cure disease and accidentally invented fashion. #history #science #chemistry

  34. And the winners are...

    We received a very high number of excellent contribution for our abstract challenge this year. We thank all participants for their contributions.

    Huge Congratulations to the three winners:
    Yutong Zhang
    Lars Stevens-Cullinane
    Wahyu Widodo

  35. _Hideki Shirakawa, Who Helped Turn a Lab Error Into a Nobel, Dies at 90_

    “…someone accidentally added 1,000 times too much catalyst to the reaction to create the polyacetylene. Instead of getting a black powdery substance, as expected, the result was a silvery film that looked more like metal than plastic. Dr. Shirakawa was intrigued by the result and began studying the unusual material to better understand its properties.”

    Most of my lab mistakes turned out to be mere blunders. I don't recall ever stumbling upon something *interesting* as a result… how about y'all?

    A new chapter has been added about non-thermal energy generation.

    You will, of course, ignore this, even though it is the sort of thing we are supposedly seeking. Instead you will continue with your stupid hot fusion experiments, etc.

  37. Have you ever employed #storytelling when writing your scientific paper? Sounds a bit fishy, but makes a lot of sense from a communications perspective.

    There are plenty of storytelling methods. Here, Richard Brutchey explains the "Story Spine" framework and applies it to #chemistry:
