Friends of Twitter, I need to ask for some help. I am incredibly excited to have accepted a TT faculty position at Mount St. Mary’s University starting this fall. My husband and I purchased a home in the area, but shortly after purchasing it we found out that the seller (1/4)

We need more* professors who were "bad" at school. People who struggled. People who tried to learn 6 different explanations before the aha. People who don't have perfect memories. People who take time to process things. People who got Ds. Survivorship bias promotes exclusion.

Easy Prep TLC Loading using a "Pen"! I previously tweeted out how to turn a pipette into a pen w/ cotton to "paint" samples onto Prep TLCs. Today here's a visual guide with instructions on how to make it! (Full Video Captions on TikTok) #chemtwitter #RealTimeChem

This has been stewing in my brain since falcon and the winter soldier, maybe earlier, so you have to see it too. (It’s a terrible chemistry joke)

Sound on is key. I know I missed the beat drop, but I was cry-laughing over my own genius. Happy #fluorescencefriday and have a lovely weekend 🐙 @f_elements @lanthanides_cph

Department: Hey, could you make a video introducing your lab to prospective students? What we heard: Hey, could you make a chemistry sea shanty?

Grad school app season is (mostly) over, and since academic twitter is going nuts about the idea of paying research assistants $15/hr... Let's talk about how expensive it is to be a student applying to graduate school--especially for underrepresented students. (1/14)

I don’t understand how graduate students are expected to be giving 100% in research, classes, and teaching when a pandemic is at its peak worst and the country is in shambles. I love grad school, but everything together is burning me out.
