⚠️ 🦌 🚗 Fun day in Prince Albert National Park, where a herd of elk crossing the road is a nice change from regular traffic.

I’m have also spoken at Bryant University, but the Organic Reactions and Processes GRC attendees probably just whispered “MVP” quietly to themselves. 😅😜

football’s all like gimme that coconut i want it it’s beautiful but tennis is all like fuck this stupid lemon i hate it

me watching any movie: that's Frankenstein. but I do seriously believe that the underlying story of most super soldier (and lady assassin) movies is Frankenstein. and this scene where Todd 3465 wistfully watches a loving family at a Christmas party... that is absolutely Frankenstein

Go to a Penguins game with a bunch of PPG people and you'll learn some hockey #science trivia. Or, at least, I will. @cenmag.bsky.social #video

NFL Hall of Famer Jared Allen is getting set for his third game at the @grandslamcurl He’s soaking up the challenge of taking on the best in the game. We talked about what this experience has all been like for him. Our full conversation here: youtu.be/ZmJRlDMucno

I would love to know what university leaders say to politicians behind closed doors, because "asbestos is falling on our students' heads and we can't afford to change lightbulbs" doesn't seem to be what they are hearing.

New awareness campaign

Bluesky hasn’t been this giddy since Kamala was for sure going to be president

Some Overton-Window–ass shit hitting our country. We opted for the less-dickhead conservative, which used to be just a regular conservative.

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo!

We are seeking questions from our audience of the Pharm-to-Table podcast. Dani & I will select the best questions for our annual tradition of kicking off our new season this way. What do you want to know about being a chemists in pharma? Let us know?! #MerckChemistry

Generally speaking I don't want my items to be Futuristic, I want them to work

Brothers spending the day in bed 🤜🤛

A record-low number of trick-or-treaters has resulted in a record high amount of leftover candy

Forcing funders to betray reviewers and applicants by disclosing disaggregated personal and confidential information serves no legitimate purpose. This is an abuse of parliamentary authority that will deeply undermine Canadian science.

CANADIANS! Our government is once again trying to convince us AI is good, actually, and they have a whole big survey about how we can use AI. I pretty much just said "we can't until we can do it without mass theft and poisoning the environment" over and over again, and you can too

Fantastic opportunity for a field biologist to work with the @birdscanada.bsky.social grasslands team (who definitely ROCK) #birds

This photo of rookie Yesavage casually walking off the mound as future Hall of Famer and helmet-less Ohtani is still in motion striking out is everything. #WantItAll

My research group has *once again* triumphed in our department’s pumpkin carving contest. My students are, by objective measures, the best. (Conveniently for Halloween, our building is a gothic castle.) 🧪 🎃 🏰 🔥 🏆

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for. Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.

He’d have an enormous schwanzstucker, zats for sure!

It's #NationalPumpkinDay! 🎃 Why are pumpkins orange, and what do pumpkins have to do with pumpkin spice? Here are the chemical answers in @cenmag.bsky.social: cen.acs.org/articles/93/... #ChemSky 🧪

China just built the biggest bridge in the world, a modern marvel that set ten different world records. Meanwhile we are having the fucking New York Jets and Blackstone bribe our McDonald’s Pedophile President to build the ballroom equivalent of the Flanders house

Employee at the liquor store this morning, talking to himself: “Ten dollars off is not going to sell more Miller Lite… not going to happen” 😁

So sorry to hear this. When I was an undergrad at Queen’s University, Dr. Becke was the quantum mechanics prof the students liked. We had no idea he was making DFT accessible to all chemists, and launching a stellar career at Queen’s and Dalhousie University.

For over a century, chemists have made flavor molecules to evoke particular tastes. How do they know which compounds create a particular flavor, and how do they make these molecules? cen.acs.org/food/food-sc... #NationalChemistryWeek #ACS_NCW #SpiceChemistry #chemsky

#EnzymologySky : There are still a few slots left. The deadline for the trainee opportunities at EMC2026 has been extended to November 1.

It’s astounding!

It has been a, uh, difficult week but I have not laughed louder and harder at something in a very long time than at this.

Aside from being lovely, this is the ideal home for someone who is addicted to racquetball, and can get their fix 24/7 by having every single god damn room in the house the size of a racquetball court.

THAT LAD IS GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES

A year of #GoodMorningFromSaskatoon. A photo almost every* work day from Oct ’24 to Oct ‘25. Blue sky and clouds, sunlight and street lights, sea smoke and fire smoke, advance and retreat of the ice, sunrise at 4:45AM to sunrise at 9:15AM… so many things to see from this one spot (*210 pics) 😁📷
