check it out!!

Grew up on the Chesapeake Bay...more than one field trip involved going out on a skipjack (sailing vessel) and dredging for oysters.

Someone was just talking about a good example of AI disclosure in a manuscript....and now I can't find it! Does anyone have one? (Teaching on AI ethics in 2 hours!) #ChemSky #🧪

I’d like to petition for spring break to be two weeks. I’m now caught up on every thing, but there was no so called “break”

None of my exams stapled properly and now I need to hand staple 240 exams 🫠🫠🫠

We've done one group quiz in lecture; was one of the most amazing learning activities I've seen in such a large classroom. Students were fully engaged with one another and with the assignment for the full 50 mins. Today we're doing another round but with IF-AT cards....excited to see how it goes.

Really disappointed in Phillies social media that I don't have video of the Phanatic pretending to be part of Bad Bunny's grass actors yet.

Temple closed tomorrow 🎉

Did anyone else's canvas update and now you can see prior attempts in speed grader? or is this a uniquely Temple problem 😭? #EduSky #ChemSky

I’ve been attacked.

Back on my swiftie teacher BS #ChemSky

The amount of mental task switching I've done today has my brain feeling like a wrung out sponge 😮‍💨

Looking for some new ideas for formative feedback opportunities in large gen chem classes (>200). We've previously done low stakes (<2% of the overall grade) quizzes the week before exams in recitations, but we've had issues with cheating recently. Anyone doing something they really like? #ChemSky

Me, a West Wing fan, thinking only of one man. #puthimonthebench

Just ate a meal with zero cheese in it and my rot week brain is very disappointed.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

phillies said “the people of philadelphia have been through enough watching that dogshit eagles team, sign kyle TODAY” and i thank them for it

I want to go to bed, you idiots.

Instrumental students took their DUCK exam today. Found this gem on someone’s scratch paper…. #ChemChat

Attended an all day accessibility training on WCAG. I am overwhelmed and there are not a lot of answers of how to deal with this in STEM classes.

Had to skip yoga tonight to finish writing an exam. The end of the semester is not my favorite part of the semester.

Context isn’t needed. Always true.

Oh man, gonna miss @chemjobber.bsky.social but good for him.

Fire Patullo.

Last sentence from the discussion: “In this sense, one might view learning through LLMs rather than traditional web search as, at times, analogous to being shown the solution to a math problem rather than trying to solve it oneself.”

.....I haven't even gotten through a single one 😫

I need to give detailed feedback on six, 20-page papers today. The chances this takes all day is 99.999999%

An absolute insult to philadelphia culture that one cannot buy a soft pretzel on campus at 3 pm.

Simultaneously doing electrochemistry in Gen Chem II and instrumental (at different levels) this week, so currently everyone is getting a mini-rant about Ben Franklin.

It’s back!

Could see the Northern Lights from my roof in Philly!!!

We’re regulars at author events at the Free Library. Tonight we’re seeing Ray Didinger in conversation with Merrill Reese. Let’s just say the vibe of the crowd is very different tonight.

Just described conjugates of strong acid and bases as "strong independent women who want to stay broken up" and my student responded, "we don't need no man." Obsessed.

Mondays are quickly becoming my least favorite days. 😮‍💨

Tack on that the HPLC failed during instrumental lab this afternoon. yay.

And now I come back to a Canvas outage!?

Covering a class for a colleague at 10 am...which means I'm lecturing three different courses at 9, 10, and 11 am. Happy Monday to me!

We get one Friday off (this Friday) during the Fall semester. I conveniently don't teach on Thursdays. Thus, I'm currently counting down the moments until I can put up my OOO.

Love a fundamental science Nobel win!

I finished the set! So pretty!!

The number of commitments I have tomorrow is fully incompatible with the fact that there is a new Taylor album fewer than 6 hours away.

Need to get grading done. But my mineral Lego kit got delivered to work. What was I supposed to do, not build Lego pyrite?!? #ChemSky

Nola went 8 innings with 2 hits? In this economy?!

LORD ALMIGHTY. BIRDDDDSSSSSSS

Look at that, it’s an induced dipole! #ChemSky

Gonna make trash day pretty exciting/terrifying around the country.

Good morning, the Phillies are NL East Champions

Happy Jeopardy new season night to all who celebrate!
