1 week left to submit your abstracts! If you have used arts, music, creative writing, or any humanities-related ideas and topics to teach chemistry, please consider submitting an abstract to our symposium!! #BCCE2026

Check out the new episode on my podcast “no, I have not ALWAYS been a scientist” and listen to the story from @skugelgen.bsky.social ! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

Arts, humanities, and chemistry, oh my! @drferrous.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy and I are going to host the symposium “Teaching Chemistry with Humanities-Informed Pedagogies” at #BCCE2026! The deadline to submit an abstract to @bcce2026.bsky.social is 3/1. We’d love to see you at the symposium!

恭喜發財! 馬年快樂! Happy Lunar New Year! May the year of the Horse bring good health and happiness to all! The molecule below is Horsfiline. #chemsky #chemchat

Me: "Do you like this food?" Hydrogen: "Yummy yummy!" Me: "OK, here, I got you some more." Hydrogen: "HOW DARE YOU FEED ME THIS DISGUSTING FOOD THIS IS ANIMAL ABUSE-" #CatSky

Tuxedo cats. Such a poser #CatSky

I made a ceramic Hydrogen at a local ceramic art studio. Hydrogen is curious 🤨 #CatSky

And here is the second episode, with Dr. Tim Dreier! Give it a listen, subscribe if you are interested, and if you would also like to share your story on the podcast, please send me a message, I would love to hear your story! 😃 #ChemSky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

My podcast “No, I have not ALWAYS been a scientist” has 2 episodes posted now! Here is the first one, with Dr. Capri Price 😄 #ChemSky Give it a listen, and if you would also like to share your story, please send me a message! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

Hi all! Check out my latest publication about what I did in a flipped classroom of p-chem, in the ebook “Engaging Students in Physical Chemistry, Vol. 2”! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n... My podcast has launched!! Stay tuned for the first episode! I am also looking for people to share their stories about their nonlinear pathways on this podcast. Have you changed careers? Or do you have interests outside the STEM fields? If so, let’s chat! #ChemSky

If you like desserts with red beans, here is a good and simple one: mashed sweet red beans with sticky rice balls 红豆小圆子 😋 I topped it with osmanthus flower honey, but just regular honey (or syrup) works, too! #ChemistsWhoCook #Food

Therapist: you need to find time to relax. Me: YES I WILL I’M GOING TO MAKE THE MOST OF MY RELAXATION AND I WILL HAVE THE BEST RELAXATION OF THE WHOLE HUMAN HISTORY I WILL WIN THE WORLD RELAXATION CHAMPIONSHIP— #Anxiety #AcademicSky

Not a single thought behind those eyes and that blep #CatSky

To materials chemists: Synthesis= F around XRD = find out 🤣 #ChemSky

Before and after I told him he could not have the chocolate cookie stick #CatSky

Hi #ChemSky I’m planning to start a podcast called “No, I have NOT always been in science”. In each episode, I will feature someone in STEM who has had a nonlinear pathway (e.g. ppl who started outside STEM but switched later; ppl who got heavily involved in non-STEM related activities, etc.) 1/2

“Mommy? Did you forget to share your lunch with me?” #CatSky

Such a poser #CatSky

I got this question from a student: imagine there is a gas that stays ideal no matter what, does that mean that gas can never be compressed into a liquid? #ChemSky

“You wouldn’t let me eat cat food directly from the bag, yet you just ate ice cream directly from the container.” 😾😡 #CatSky

Physical chemistry escape room today! #ChemSky #ChemEd

I got a hate message from a complete stranger on social media, so I am eating hotpot to celebrate the fact that I am so powerful that my mere existence (without any real interaction) can make someone so angry 😎 #PowerAgainstHate

I just started learning to play the harmonica, and as a beginner, the sounds I make are…well, not so great, and Hydrogen is very honest about his OPINIONS 🤣 #CatSky

Without defects, your gemstones lose colors, your phone becomes paperweight, your solar panel no longer works, and your stainless steel spoons get rusty. Crystals are like people, it is the defects that make us unique and interesting. #ChemSky

A snowflake that looks like hexamethylbenzene #ChemSky

How feasible is the idea of “MOF LEGO”? That is, something like LEGO pieces but are in the shapes of linkers and vertices that people can use to build MOF structures? I think that would be a great hands-on or outreach activity for students. Anyone in the #ChemSky community have any ideas?

Hooman gibs kitteh go-gurt too slow. I take things into my own paw. #CatSky

I’ve had this picture saved in my phone for a long time, until recently, someone pointed out that it is the REPAIR of the broken pottery, not the pottery being broken itself, that makes the pottery more beautiful. (1/2)

this came to me in a dream #iTeachChem #ChemSky

Work-life balance cat shows teeth when you try to work on weekends #CatSky

There is not much I can do, but I have a feeling that folks can use some Hydrogen pictures to brighten up their days a bit, so here they are.

Well I tried to use this joke in class today, but less than half of the class knew this song…I feel old

Thread: Jolene, but fluorine Fluorine, fluorine, fluorine, fluorine I'm begging of you please don't take my electron Fluorine, fluorine, fluorine, fluorine Please don't take it just because you can

Look I iz hooman, I can haz hooman foodz #CatSky

This is how Hydrogen rolls #CatSky

A coworker gave me a giant zucchini. Hydrogen for scale. #CatSky

Got some really good strawberries, tomatoes, green beans, and shishito peppers! #ChemistsWhoGarden #Gardening

The things Hydrogen does for kitty go-gurt

Describe your in-person social skills with an image

韭菜盒 (“chive box”). It is like a hand pie, filled with Chinese chives and scrabbled eggs (with salt, sesame oil, and five spice), and pan fried. #foodsky

Papers, in PNAS

Let’s start calling the odds of getting stuck at the DFW airport “the DFW rate” 🤣 #ChemSky #ChemEd

Food?
