Despite myself, I'm starting to imagine using different parts of my brain during different times (e.g. sleeping, listening to music, listening to lectures) as crop rotation, and I can just feel a cataclysmic metaphor-induced misconception coming...

one anecdote: I was searching for a link to one of my old papers on Google, and the automated Gemini summary attributed all of my lab's work to my husband

I'm looking to obtain a (hopefully cheap but okay) stereo microscope suitable for protein crystallography work. I want to use it for teaching undergrads, so am hoping to get one equipped with a camera. And affordably... Used is a-okay! Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Jealous!

Without having actually ever done any fullerene chemistry, I feel I'm learning a lot! Paper models of C60 (top), C70 (right) and C80 - the Ih one (left). 🧪 #ChemSky #SciArt #Papercraft

These pictures are old and insufficiently contextualized. But so are you. That's fine. It's fine.

And universities are being further gutted by new rules requiring 'temporary' visa holders (mist academics come on J or H1Bs) to return to their home countries to apply for green cards. Our universities are being torn apart. This will affect at least 5 people on my immediate projects.
