Incredible finish to an incredible 5 game series. Gen.G Esports took the first 2 games, then DWGKIA takes the next two games. But GenG doesn't crack to their opponents' momentum, and comes out fighting. It could have gone either way right up to the final minute. On to the semifinals!

I'm grading my students' mid-semester research reports and I just got called out. "Recrystallization of the [crude reaction mixture] instead removed the desired product ... due to an absolutely callous solubility error on the PI’s behalf (Fig. 4)."

Between the Phillies and the Union loss, today was rough. But it was all redeemed by the Cinderella story of DRX winning the World Final from impossible odds. Best LoL Esports final ever.

One thing I know already. If not for voters under 30 ... tonight WOULD have been a Red Wave. CNN National House Exit Poll R+ 13 65+ R+ 11 45-64 D +2 30-44 D +28 18-29 #GenZ did their job.

Running some cyclic voltammetry experiments with my students today, but I had to throw on the blacklight for my #FluorescenceFriday photo!

Something a little different this week for #FluorescenceFriday : a homebuilt reactor for photochemistry in flow. Plus two of my students testing out their reaction on the system. Thanks to Haverford College for the support!

Are meat substitutes really better for the climate than meat and dairy? It was surprisingly hard to find a dataset that answered this question, so I started building one. I show the results in my new Substack post. Spoiler: yes, most are lower-carbon. hannahritchie.substack.com/p/carbon-footp…

In about 15 minutes (3 PM EST) I'll be headed on stage with the Haverford Chorale. It's a fantastic group of students, staff, alumni, and, yes, even faculty and it's been such a pleasure to join the group this semester. Please tune in to the livestream!

Broke: searching the inorganic literature for good example figures for my slides for class Woke: searching the backlog of Inorganic Memes for C2v Teens to find a topical meme to start each class with

Two days in, I love teaching with my tablet and the ability to share annotated slides after class. One exception: in class, I keep writing in "blank" areas, only to advance the animation and now my ink and text overlap. How are other educators avoiding this? Giving up animations?

Just now discovered that the regal portrait of Legendre from my textbooks is wrong and the mathematician that helped me turn internal energy into Gibbs free energy actually had the same expression I made throughout my statistical mechanics class. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrien-Ma…

It was great celebrating the hard work of all of the chemistry majors at Haverford College this afternoon in our chemistry department senior poster session. Thanks also to the students over at Bryn Mawr College who brought posters over to present.

America is suffering from a lack of bureaucracy -- by which I don't mean rules and red tape, but a competent civil service capable of getting things built cheaply. We need to bring back the bureaucrats! noahpinion.blog/p/america-need…

Some excellent undergraduate chemistry research presentations at the 2024 ISCC conference at Lincoln University . Special congratulations to Haverford College students Aliya, Kyra, Trinity, Hannah, and Sidney from the Shepard and Seebald Labs for winning presentation awards!
