  1. Not groundbreaking, but the work in this paper enabled the interesting polymer degradation studies my students & I are doing now. As you can see from the author list, many many people contributed over the years. I count 6 who have finished or are pursuing PhDs plus others involved in other areas of science. Greyson is sole 1st author because he got obsessed with NMR, did all the final fiddly bits, & wrote the 2D analysis. #NMR #iScience #chemistry #PUI #proflife #ProudPI sciencedirect.com/science/arti

  2. Note-taking is a big component of the grade in this class and I'm looking over them today. One student wrote "proteins lowkey remind me of bees" with no further explanation and now I cannot wait to ask them how. #teaching #proflife #proteins

  3. I heard peals of laughter spilling out of the lab Friday afternoon. The students were really enjoying getting soap bubbles to fill with mist from subliming dry ice, left over from the -78 bath for the Swern. I love that they are already having so much fun together. That’s already a huge win for me as a mentor. #proflife #PUI #chemistry #research #lablife #SummerScience

  4. I cannot explain quite how comforting it is to hear the nitrogen boiling from the traps in the Schlenk line while I watch boiling solvent being stripped from a reaction. Just feels like all is right with the world for a moment when endothermic and exothermic processes occur just as they should. In related news, made sooooo much catalyst today. #lablife #chemistry #chemiverse #pui #proflife

  5. Has anyone ever tried using silicone brake lubricant like Sil-Glyde in place of Dow Corning High Vacuum Grease? It's about 1/4 the cost. #chemistry #chemiverse #Schlenk #proflife #lablife #vacuum #budget

  6. #AmGrading #ecotheology essays, pondering these takes on #Christianity, and absolutely losing track of the boundaries between process thought and "traditional" (?) #theology #ProfLife

  7. started finding viscous fluid in the small antechamber of my glovebox and was wondering about the source. looks like the vacuum gauge needs replacing. #chemiverse #proflife #PUI #vacuum

  8. Finally tracked down at least part of the problem that has been draining my N2 tanks. After nearly 20 years of use, this pigtail needs replacing. This is totally a plug for Leak Bubbles - Yellow! from Comstar that solidify. Way better than snoop for tough-to-fine leaks #chemistry #chemiverse #highpressure #pui #proflife

  9. Come be my colleague! We’re expanding from 8-9 tenure lines, looking for scholarship that uses the techniques or ideas of analytical, inorganic, or physical chemistry. PhD required. #chemjobs #chemiverse #PUI #proflife #inorganic #physical #analytical #tenuretrack

  10. @SMFtheScientist happy to chat any time about #PUI #ProfLife. Fun that we’re both at our state’s oldest colleges!

  11. Kids are in bed. 4yo birthday celebrations are over (for today). Time to sip champagne and read about codon bias for tomorrow's lab meeting!

    Ngl this stiff is FASCINATING!! Can't wait to hear what my students think
