I will never forget her kindness. She was always on mission. RIP Jane Goodall. Forever my hero. 🧵 #JaneGoodall #hero #rip

NOTE: When we were working on our I am Jane Goodall kids book, she weighed in personally on the drawings to make sure that even in the pages of a cartoon biography, we were modeling good behavior so millions of kids would see how to properly take care of animals.

Weird but odd situation today: I was going into the chem building and outside, in the corner by the door, there's a small Dollar General bag. I wonder, who left this? So I look inside and there is just a new iPhone cord. 1/n

Hey ChemSky - has anyone been thinking about how to comply with regulations in April that all materials must be accessible? We're thinking about what that means for, inter alia, handouts with chemical structures. We're just at the beginning to think about it phase but we fear it will be daunting!

I think it was Paoli

That's what I call a Saturday afternoon....

Ok ChemSky, here's a dumb question: how is Avegadro's number determined? My son asked me that the other day and I just sat with my mouth open. Duuuuuuhhhhhhhh..... Somehow you gotta count atoms. So how do we know there that 12 grams of carbon 12 has 6.02e23 atoms?

my brain: "Christ, you don't need a quadrophonic Blaupunkt! What you need is a curveball! In the show, everybody can hit a fastball!"

if kidnapped, what would you post that would alarm your followers without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help "I have a craving for a pizza with mushrooms and olives."

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

I keep seeing reports about places adopting "anti-DEI" policies. So homogenous, non-equal and exclusive? This is just bad. It's one thing to say, "We aren't going to require diversity," but to impose "anti-diversity" means to require homogeneity. And anti-equity? This isn't about fairness

I had that in July before my sophomore year of high school. Odd that I can remember it, but I had it when I had my football physical. Dr didn't say a word about it.

[email protected] I've always just used Chris's dj name, M.C. Stay Agree, it was awesome to hear you 3 together again.

Beautiful sunset tonight on the farm...but crazy how far to the south it is! Oh wait, tomorrow it will start coming back north. Many happy returns of the day!

Catching the replay of emergency medicine on dr radio and just wanted to tell @heshiegreshie.bsky.social that a Tony Danza Who's the Boss reference is not more obscure than Mr Bean.

Our traditional Thanksgiving dinner

13 miles to go in Zionsville

Our gen chem exam last night was split into 5 buildings on campus. I ran from location to location to visit all 5 in the hour (the last place was just across the street).

Coulda woulda shoulda. Imagine if Long Island had sent her to Congress instead of Zeldin…. www.science.org/content/arti...
