Whoever wins the Presidency in November, we're probably going to see the end of an American free society within our lifetimes.

Waste is one of the subtler things to teach in lab. To help, I label all containers with different colours and list what goes in the container. Then I make a master list on the side board in my new lab. For non-chemical waste, I have sorting bins out my door! #GreenLabsEarthWeek

Yes. Learning to curse correctly, with the right weight, at the right time is an art. This is a good start.

Mass graves just the norm these days.

People still haven't figured out right wing culture war discourse.

Republicans like Elise Stefanik are using manufactured hysteria to stage coups of university leadership.

This is a healthy conversation.

-Learning how to swim well.
-Learning how to run.
-Seeing Skinny Puppy's final tour.
-Meeting academics outside Chemistry (Education, History, Psych., Math, Linguistics...)
-Dinner parties. With home cooked food.
