@benjaminchapman @bugcounter risky or not?! I soaked lentils Sunday afternoon for that night’s dinner and ended up having too much food so I drained the lentils and put them in the fridge. Are they risky to cook on Monday? Would they be risky Tuesday night?
Does it change if I didn’t drain them and the soaking process was extended? I love hearing the boundaries and edges of the problem... but maybe that is a different podcast!
Also I can’t tell if Ben really does like birthday wishes or not 🤔
...but I will just say @benjaminchapman I appreciate you and your work and I think it is cool that you do things that make the world a better place! 🎂!
New paper on some old work! This was fun to revisit, and of course always fun to get to work with the Fredrickson Group!
From a mysterious side product to a potential route to intermetallic nitrides: Check out of new communication in JASC to see more about the discovery and crystal structure of Mn39Si9Nx, featuring Drs. Gordon Peterson and Veronica Berns (@squirrelchomp): pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…
Some days you work hard to plant a lot of seeds. And some days you get to enjoy the harvest.
Today was a good harvest.

Am I so extra✨ that I made my own magazine with a laymans explanation of my PhD thesis? Well yes. Yes I am. #SciComm
1) How much cocaine is on a US dollar bill?
2) Grandma’s heirloom ring is rumored to be a mix of Au and Ag. How much of what metals are present?
3) Propose a way to compare the amount of caffeine in Earl Grey Teas of different brands.
Thesis: “The overwhelming diversity of intermetallic compounds is a great source of wonder among those familiar with the structures of solid state materials.”
Comic book version: “There are some things that scientists know for sure about the world.”
The first line in every classic novel often serves as the most important line. It gives the reader a first impression of the novel /author. Likewise, I feel like the first line of a thesis should be the same. #chemtwitter, what was the first line of your thesis? #RealTimeChem

I feel like I had teachers tell me this when I was in school and I always hated hearing it—like they were commenting on one thing I can’t help
The programs that are cut but have a portion allowed to continue are the most telling: This is about direct applicability of studies. This is taking a liberal arts school and turning it into a technical or vocational school
