Wrote almost 1000 words on my dissertation this week. That's something.

I don't worry about students using AI to cheat. I worry about them using AI to study. #organicchem #chemistry

A couple of photos from caving this past weekend. One is of a new crystal, while the other us from a room full of crystals.

All of the semester's grading is done!

I've spent most of my life in a red state. I graduated from high school, got 2 B.S. and am wrapping up a Ph.D. in a red state. I've worked in a red state. The idea that bluesky is an echo chamber is preposterous. At best, it's a place I don't have to be insulted for being a decent human being.

I miss this reaction.

Apparently, #promosky helps with finding people. (I'm really bad at this, can you tell?) STEM Organic Chemistry Education Caving Lord of the Rings Wheel of Time Fantasy Gothic horror Cooking Theology Religious Deconstruction Paganism Vampire the Masquerade Dogs (have 3) Cats (have 2)

Agenda for the day: Oil Change. Grade lab reports. Finish a paragraph on my thesis. We'll see how it goes.

Another night of Vampire: The Masquerade in the books. Slowly working our way through the Transylvania Chronicles.

Another thing I'm interested in, besides banjo, caves, and organic chemistry is the Bible, especially how it is used by christian nationalists to support their rhetoric. Though at present, I am religiously adrift, I was raised in evangelicalism and have seen firsthand what it does to people.

One of my favorite rooms in my favorite cave.

Hmm, is this the place I'll finally let my opinions loose? Probably not, unless people are interested in caving or radical chemistry.
