Trivia quiz looking for the names of inventors of 25 different technologies.
Trivia quiz looking for the names of inventors of 25 different technologies, with red circles around the pronoun "he"
Answers to a trivia quiz looking for the names of inventors of 25 different technologies, with red circles around the pronoun "he" and red ovals around four names.
I live most of my life in circumstances where not all scientists, engineers, and inventors are assumed to be men. Then, every once in a while, I get hit by something like this. I know that it is a silly quiz on a cruise ship, but it made my stomach drop. #RepresentationMatters #WomeninSTEM #DoBetter
Looking down into the Panama Canal from the 11th floor of a cruise ship, showing a small gap between the ship and the lock wall.
Looking out the back of a cruise ship in the Panama Canal to see a very large shipping container ship entering one of the locks.
Can confirm that a trip through the Panama Canal is worth it!

Hi there - wondering if you'd add me @clh731.bsky.social or my research group @hayneschemlab.bsky.social to your starter pack. Thanks for organizing!
Hi there! Hoping you can add @hayneschemlab.bsky.social to your starter pack. Many thanks!
Will you please add @umnchemistry.bsky.social? Thank you!
My favorite #ChemistryDepartment has joined Bluesky - you should all follow @umnchemistry.bsky.social to hear about our #CuttingEdgeScience and the people who do and teach it #UMNProud
Couldn't be prouder to see University of Minnesota with HALF of the 2025 Marion Milligan Mason Awardees - congratulations to Profs. Jessica Lamb (@ewerpointe.bsky.social) and Michelle Calabrese on this well-deserved recognition! #UMNProud

New drone photos of our University of Minnesota Department of Chemistry Teaching Building in progress, side-by-side with the original renderings. It is coming along and looking beautiful (even with the #IcyMississippi in the foreground). #UMNProud #Fall2025
Celebrating George Whitesides' 85th birthday - a cross-journal collection to mark this special occasion
The @roysocchem.bsky.social have published a special collection honoring Prof George Whiteshide for his 85th birthday and celebrating the profound impact on chemistry that he's had through his research, leadership and mentorship of generations of exceptional scientists! rsc.li/whitesides
Bar chart from J.D. Power survey, showing Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport as the US airport with the highest customer satisfaction
I love working at UMN and living in the Twin Cities. The #QualityOfLife is high, and the #CherryOnTop for this academic is that the airport and the number of direct flights are amazing - fully supported by a recent study published in Forbes, ranking #MSP as the best mega airport in the US
Do you want the molecular-level details about why the Aurora Borealis displays beautiful colors in the sky? One of my collaborators, Bob Hamers, took some gorgeous photos and the time to explain: sustainable-nano.com/2024/12/06/c...
So excited to welcome a new graduate student to the @hayneschemlab.bsky.social - looking forward to collaborating on some exciting chemistry in the coming years! #UMNProud
Any progress bringing the @amerchemsociety.bsky.social journal feeds over here?
My research group is now on Bluesky, too - follow @hayneschemlab.bsky.social for exciting research updates in #Nanomaterials, #AnalyticalChemistry, #ScienceOutreach, #ScienceCommunication, and more. #UMNProud!
On Thanksgiving weekend in the US, I'm feeling grateful for this amazing crew of chemists. #UMNProud #ItTakesATeam
What a cool inclusion-focused project - these PNNL scientists are developing new technical terms for American Sign Language to facilitate the work of deaf and hard-of-hearing scientists
Check out this thoughtful reflection on summer undergraduate research and the confluence of art and science! There’s a bonus animation of the researcher's summer project at the end of the blog post. #SciArt #SciCom #UndergradExcellence #UMNProud
I always love a #ScienceCommunication challenge - one of the University of Minnesota Department of Chemistry graduate students, Sidharth Panda, won the College of Science & Engineering's 3-minute thesis competition: #chemsky #UMNProud
