I shouldn't have to but I will : this is me and my papa in '87 In our pueblo of Sta Cruz de Miramar. Genetics are a dice roll, and light-skinned academics know it well. We DO benefit from problematic privilege in the academy, and MUST use it to amplify the work of "visible" POC.

Gaby @Gaby_Bailey_6 presents a beautiful poster at the Thermo Fischer Impact and Discovery Symposium, which took place on Sep. 6th! She is focusing on altering CPP electronics for applications in bioimaging and materials. Awesome work 😍🥳@uoCHandBIC

I wanted to remind all of the incredible folks on here that Reed Chemistry is hiring! If you have any Q's feel free to DM me; I'm the search chair 😃. And if you have Q's for our amazing Jr faculty like @wimblegon and @NicoleMJames1 I know they'd be happy to help!

Shout-out 📢 to Kyle @LancasterLabCU and @Kelly_N_Chacon for an unsurprisingly fantastic GRC Metallocofactors 🙏🏻 (that's Mike @ZdillaLab & Patrick Holland wreaking havoc in the Spirit of the Gordon Conference).

I gave out “organic chemistry friendship bracelets” (ORGO, ACID, BASE) today to students who volunteered to solve problems on the board in class. Day 1 of this experiment was wildly successful. I had students already volunteering to answer questions in future classes.

When you're a professor of organic chemistry who is also a swiftie, it seems most appropriate that your first orgo class (i.e. when you were born as an organic chemist) was in 1989. #chemistswhoswift

!!! I have had serious problems from the very start with water getting into my vacuum pump after every single regen. And yes I’ve done (and bought) everything VAC told me to. IT WAS NEW. I’m stuck with a doorstop and will never recommend VAC again. They won’t come out, either!

Are you on the market for a glovebox?
I bought a glovebox from Vac, and the moisture levels have not dropped below 4ppm after 4 months, many regenerations, and even a catalyst change. They won’t come out to fix the problem. 1/3

Do you know any post-baccs or current research associates that would like to work in my lab? I’m looking for a 2 year commitment and an interest/skills in proteins and metal ions! Pay is competitive and the work is fun. I just need help doing all this science! DM for more info.

A previous thesis student saw this in a cell pellet and I think about it all the time
ALT A Nalgene centrifuge container full of growth medium. Against the inside is a small centrifuged pellet of bacterial cells. Somehow, the dark iron nutrients from the broth formed themselves into a very cheerful smiley face!

.@Kelly_N_Chacon uses light-based measurements to study bacterial enzymes that reduce toxic metal ions and mentors students from historically marginalized backgrounds. Read more about this #LGBTQinSTEM Trailblazer: fal.cn/3yLmx #QueerinSTEM #PrideMonth

As a reviewer of many a broader impacts statement I often see great ideas that lack modern best practices for supporting vulnerable groups (like properly hosting summer students). YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE AN EXPERT- HIRE ONE! And this expert right👇🏽 is legit.
