One argument for making chem a “required” science course in our district is in response to this wave of MAHA misinformation. So many times I’ve read online “ingredients I can’t pronounce” as a negative. Can’t change the world but hopefully can better educate our students? #iteachchem #iteachphysics

@chemistryworld.com has just covered our recent paper on the experience of 1st Gen students in the sciences! Thoughtful context ... 🧪 And you can read the original article, "Being a first generation university graduate, the impact on a career in science", here: pubs.rsc.org/doi/d5sc00205b

This point by Dr Jallepalli is important... and demonstrates why RFKJrs comment that 'do your own research' is in line with 'democracy' is wrong: There are many things we do not understand, and our time is limited. The purpose of expertise is to expand our capacity for public collective knowledge.

What does a 40% NIH budget cut mean for funding chances (now ~15%)? You might think “60% of the money left = 9% success” ❌ NOPE!!! 1-3% because 80% of the budget is for existing grants New science? Starved Ongoing grants? Slashed 😢 #FundingScienceSavesLives

Very true. Also true: there are probably things fundamental to their day-to-day that you are equally ignorant about. So as you extend grace to them, recognize that they are extending the same grace to you.

Percy is reactive to unknown dogs, but it seems he’s decided my mom’s dog who has been visiting is a good guy!

I was talking about this with my students yesterday—throughout Western Europe, Nazism is treated in public spaces and memorials as a nightmare, as horror that must never be repeated. If slavery and Jim Crow received the same commemoration in the US, we'd be a very different country.

Trump administration cuts to NSF will result in more than 200,000 FEWER people per year involved in basic science, training, and education - what should have been the next generation of US scientists. This isn't even eating your seed corn, it is setting your seed corn on fire and salting the earth.

Hey #ChemSky , I will be presenting on "Career Paths" to our REU program mid-June. Do you have any "things I wish I had known" about options/paths/careers with a chemistry degree? #Chemistry 🥽🧪 #WomenInSTEM

Does selling original paintings for $10 compensate me for my time and artistic vision? No. But is it a great business move? Also no. Here's why I do it anyway #sciart
