@TeamYouTube I hid my YouTube channel (ScienceWithImpact) and now can’t restore it. The “create channel” option only lets me make a new, empty channel-my original content and subscribers are missing.

Also Also! Check out our team's @NSF funded work on #inorganic #chemed #chemedresearch at #ACSSpring2025 ! Its a difficult choice to make though... #scheduleprobs
ACS Kids Zone was a success! We have hundreds of young people from all over San Diego come and make slime, talk polymer chemistry, and explore glaciers 🥰

I was moderately successful at animating the chemistry of slime 😅
We got a few rouge hydrogens in there, but it works!

Studying up to animate slime (polyvinyl alcohol and borate) for American Chemical Society’s Kids Zone in San Diego 🥰
I love that 3D molecular animation is becoming a part of my career path 🙌🏽

How are you spending your morning?
Me? Oh, just figuring out how to make fake snow from diaper materials connecting polymer research and glaciers. You know, normal scientist stuff. 😅

Having experienced the Academic Job Search, I remember wishing I knew exactly how I'd be evaluated in the interview and how I did.
Receiving feedback in job interviews is rare, making it hard to improve.

We sent it to the candidates a week in advance. We asked them to rate themselves based on the criteria during the interview. Afterward, I gave them my score and discussed the decision regarding their interview.
