Shout-out 📢 to Kyle @LancasterLabCU and @Kelly_N_Chacon for an unsurprisingly fantastic GRC Metallocofactors 🙏🏻 (that's Mike @ZdillaLab & Patrick Holland wreaking havoc in the Spirit of the Gordon Conference). – at Boston, MA

I gave out “organic chemistry friendship bracelets” (ORGO, ACID, BASE) today to students who volunteered to solve problems on the board in class. Day 1 of this experiment was wildly successful. I had students already volunteering to answer questions in future classes.
When you're a professor of organic chemistry who is also a swiftie, it seems most appropriate that your first orgo class (i.e. when you were born as an organic chemist) was in 1989. #chemistswhoswift

Great visit to @SLAClab, an incredible National Lab operated by @Stanford for the @ENERGY Department. The amazing minds here have received Nobel Prizes, led international collaborations and enabled discoveries in physics, biology, energy research—and even paleontology!

Faculty are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD. I just remembered that when I was a kid, our window AC unit leaked onto our carpet and a giant mushroom appeared overnight. If you're 1st gen and you also had a mushroom in your living room I see you.
