So do I. It's all that was offered by the chem dept at BU.

Out of all the modern tech stuff--streaming, smart watch/fitness tracking, phone, social media, podcast addiction etc.--my AI usage is the one that makes me feel the least shitty.

Applicants with Schlenk/inert rxn setups, NMR, GPC/SEC experience will receive consideration--these are musts. Bulk mechanical and/or electronic characterization a bonus. Email me directly at my institutional address with CV and interest statement. DMs will get lost. Please forward to your network!

I'm interviewing synthetic organic chemists for a postdoc position in my lab at the beautiful University of Rochester in electronic polymers for applications in haptics and materials for space....

I would add that makers of "zero cal" "energy" drinks should specify what components of the internal energy are and are not being accounted for in this farce of contradictory advertising

they definitely need to specify the stroke velocity, tangential force, and work done in disintegrating the abrasive material

The best free attraction in America is the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton Ohio. You're welcome :-)

Polymerization of 3D Printable PEDOT:PSS Catalyzed by Cyanobacteria Sustainable chemical synthesis is important to reduce hazardous reagents and minimize their environmental impact. Most biocatalytic approaches rely on purified enzymes or engineered microbes. In contr...

Congrats to Debika Datta and colleagues at the UC San Diego MRSEC for this work: use of cyanobacteria for the green catalytic polymerization of a printable form of conductive PEDOT (in complex with PSS), a ubiquitous electrode for bioelectronics. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Simple Method for Photopatterning Commercial PDMS Using an Off-the-Shelf Photodeactivated Hydrosilylation Inhibitor This paper describes a method of micropatterning commercial silicone elastomers using a photodeactivated hydrosilylation inhibitor. The method uses small doses of 365 nm light and is compatible with c...

How to turn commercial silicone PDMS elastomers like Sylgard-184 into photoresists using additives most labs already have on hand: direct patterning of microfluidic devices and cantilevers for measuring contractions of mechanically active cells. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

I love that Rochester is the only place in NY that says drinking fountain for some reason.

Bowie arrest day is practically a holiday in my hometown. 50th anniversary today.

That's it. That's the subject.

What's the ee of your totally tubular synthesis?

And you got a letter and you got a letter and you got a letter and your got a letter...

It works in the stuff you shoot up your nose! But it's deactivated in the stomach

"Just a note that we recorded this podcast before the news that _____." NEXT!

Work life integration. Fluid flow in metallic tubes, friction, and organic lubricants playing John Williams on a Saturday at University of Rochester.

An advantage of moving from a quarter system to semester system is that I can finally get to the last three chapters of Israelachvili.

The biggest change on a recent visit to my high school is the ubiquity of water bottles on every student's desk. It's as if they wanted us anhydrous.

I made a build with compute because taste

I was inspired and ran this morning and now am de-spired and agree, it has to be per kilometer.

If I call sewing a homemade stuffy with my kid a "build," can i keep my engineering credentials?

Encalmed by the knowledge that when I lost an anxiety pill between the seat and the gear shift, I could total synthesize a new one.

If my prepared meat ever made it into a sandwich, I think I would like it to be pulled.

100% i can do this. But the beer is Genny Light, the run is 10 min/mile, the tacos are vegetable-only, and I am allowed to go to urgent care after 24h, if i deem fit

My first live performance of the derivation of the Derjaguin approximation in 9 years. A solid B+

Olympic biathlon considers beta blockers to be performance enhancing drugs, yet classical musicians take these all the time for auditions and big concerts. Yay or nay for scientific talks?

Apparently many seasonal Reese's peanut butter candies like pumpkins, hearts, etc., are not made with cacao but with "chocolatey" coating. I wonder if we can also save money by affecting reactions with "palladiumy" catalysts.

The safest place in the house.

Is there another way to be committed other than deeply?
