We had a seminar yesterday.

Really smart guy from Wyoming investigating acidity and basicity in C-H activation. Very similar to what we do

Remember when I said I’d been stuck in a rut earlier?

Well most of that is because I’ve been trying for months to stop a side reaction
As I watched the seminar and saw all of the work that had been referenced in this field, I realized that I didn’t really need to stop the side reaction (yet)

What we have already is still fresh. Still innovative, and still pretty fuckin cool.

And we should publish it.
Sometimes you need to see what others are doing in your field to gain perspective about where you are

When you try for a really long time to figure out a problem and you keep missing, it’s difficult to continue to tell yourself to try again.
Anyhow,

His presentation (which was very insightful) showed me I’d done enough to land in the journal I wanted even if it wasn’t the initial result I’d hoped for

And one of the rare instances where we should recognize the greatness we’ve achieved instead of wishing for more 💫

Almost everything that happened to the chickens in this paper is happening to us right now and they had strong evidence it would happen. 6 years this paper has been out.

Yes they had a study guide. No it wasn’t over all the material on the test. Test 1 avg was in the high 60s out of 105

What y’all think the average gon be?
This is the key for their study guide 🌚 (they already have it) ImageImageImage
One of my students almost never comes to class

I’ve seen him maybe 4-5 times this semester

Pops up and gets a B on this test

Had a great time visiting my fam but man am I ready to be home 🏡
I know I missed some of my atl friends this trip I’ll catch y’all during Christmas 😂
I went to go visit my grandma’s grave while I was home and it made me think

Why do we visit graves? It’s pretty obvious that the soul you’re visiting is long gone. You’re only in the presence of a shell.

Or do the souls know we come back to visit and meet us there?

What you should understand about the stances different states are taking is due to whether legal protection would be easy or difficult to contest in court
Look at the states that are in white and then look at where the mandates are happening. Should be pretty obvious why.

Yes this is for school immunizations, but things like this are used as to argue for or against in court. ImageImageImageImage

Told my people on #richzoomradio this last Friday but there is CO2 shortage incoming

We already are feeling the effects in lab. We now have to weigh and log how much dry ice we’re using

Stock up on things that require cold transport and storage *now*

This started with Alex Jones. I say this at least 3-4 times a year.
When y’all said it was ok to ban ppl from a platforms because you don’t like the things they say instead of turning the shit off like a smart person would do, now we just ban everything we don’t like.

People will say this slippery slope started with vax. It started much earlier
If you wanna be 5 or 6 head you can also say it started with 9-11

Voting bejing Biden in might’ve been nail in the coffin for America as a whole, but this nation has been in decline for years.

These mandates are going to destroy the little bit that’s left if you allow it.
