When will my husband return from the Mariner’s game

This is the first time in Yankees history that they have won just one World Series in a quarter-century.

Alright MOF-mavens and Nobel fans ... This might be one of my favorite things to ever come out of my collaborations with NIST. They put together a hilarious video on MOFs and their potential use in environmental sensors. ChemSky 🧪 www.nist.gov/video/shark-...

Thank you! I was similarly mystified at the bizarre HP reference point. Plus, those HP references are old now!

Time to break out this pic of me being strangled by a future #Nobel Laureate in 2017… #Chemsky #chemnobel…

Congratulations to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi! For more reaction, follow our live blog.

Teams that Trey Yesavage has beaten in professional baseball this year: - Fort Myers Mighty Mussels - Clearwater Threshers - Tri-City Dust Devils - Hartford Yard Goats - the New York Yankees in the MLB Postseason

#NobelPrize week starts tomorrow & the #chemnobel is Wednesday… used to be so much Nobel chat on Tw*tter, but that is not replicated here, alas. Anyway, for the record, I think MOFs will win at some point (maybe this year maybe not). Balasubramanian & Klenerman a good bet for next-gen sequencing too

RIP RR.

I thought the trebuchet was for the diapers?

Glad to hear for my Dalhousie colleagues. This unnecessary lockout and the harm it caused should become a case study in how not to run a university.

We had an intro to glassblowing mini-course at the end of my undergraduate degree. We were told that we would burn ourselves...once. And we would cut ourselves....once. I turned out to be the exception.

Dalhousie U just locked out their faculty during a labour dispute about our contracts. The vote by faculty on whether to accept Dalhousie's final offer does not even close until tomorrow. They have blocked our access to email, MSTeams, online journals etc. A first for Canadian universities.

Tfw that you realize you missed out on the finer things in life.

TIL that one of the former undergrads in my lab was named after a basketball great. Was I the last to [email protected]

It's really a missed opportunity if it isn't!

This is a science 🧪 story about Mount St Helens, and gophers, and how small positive actions can, in time, make a big difference. I thought a few of you might need to hear it this week. (1/x) 🧵

In addition to celebrating Mother’s Day, my kids also celebrate the Day After Mother’s day in which they casually mention to their Mom that ten kids are coming over in the evening into our never quite clean house and she realizes it was all a con.

Just finished watching Memento. No spoilers please.

This logic should also be at the forefront of all decisions on the Canadian health care system.

Happy Giant Phallus Shaped Iceberg Floating In Conception Bay of Dildo, Canada Day to all who celebrate.

Academic faculty life is putting in grant applications to create your own dream post-doc position which will be filled by someone whose dream job is actually your faculty position.

Clown show.

The key chart right now: Usually US economic pain is cushioned by falling bond yields and a strengthening dollar, which mean lower interest rates and more spending power for consumers. This time we’re seeing the opposite, meaning the pain will be amplified.

Imagine voting to send people to a torture prison on Good Friday.

“Recruiting U.S. scientists is a fine idea – except we’re barely supporting Canadian scientists as it is” https://www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/aaa9fec50b2b595cc0291494fc97e4bd10e7d6945d5c457e0bfa75d42846a705/4FRDBEKLNFESVJ3ZILAS36KR7Y

If you visit the Upper Peninsula of Michigan & go to the shores of Lake Superior at night, be sure to bring a long-wave UV light source so you can hunt for fluorescent Yooper Stones. "Yooper" here is a play on 'U.P.' (Upper Peninsula), but they're rocks that contain a fluorescent mineral, sodalite.

There is no good time for bad news and today is no different than any day in our recent time. Nevertheless, I write this thread to chemistry faculty job seekers in the United States. #chemjobs #facultychemjobs #chemsky 🧪⚗️

Why do you keep picking us off your pizza?

UVic Chemistry is hiring. We're looking for an Assistant Professor in experimental chemistry, particularly in one of the areas of physical and/or inorganic chemistry. More details in the ad below. Great department & part of the world to live! #facultychemjobs www.uvic.ca/faculty-staf...

Problematically, the foozlers also take the most mulligans.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

I'd cast stones, but I was one-eagle eyed departmental office staff member away from publishing a paper on "Water-wolerant methane oxidation catalysts" a few years back.

As long as you don't try to smuggle in human decency, I don't think they'll care too much.

Love it!

Tariffs xkcd.com/3073

Canada is ready to lead.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Carney: Canada must be looking elsewhere to expand our trade, to build our economy, and to protect our sovereignty. Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of likeminded countries who share our values… If the US no longer wants to lead, Canada will

This is a kidnapping, not an arrest.

Poilievre really pissed me off today when he said that "income tax is a fine you pay for a crime of working hard". I wish the media hit him hard for that BS statement.

French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated. Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

The moment the people of Spokane held up a Canadian flag to a GOP lawmaker at a town hall in Washington after sharing their disgust with trump's plans.

Current mood.
