🎉 Congrats to the MRS Student Chapter at Indiana University
MRS at IU especially 2024–25 President @michaelakloveless.bsky.social , for earning a mini-grant for Bringing SMILES! They'll 3D print glowing toys & teach photoluminescence at Science Fest this fall! 💡🧸 #SciComm #MRS

With the #MetGala looks trending, you may be interested to learn about some of the colourful chemistry that goes into clothing dyes.

From sea snails to harmful hues, the science of dyes is richly coloured!

Have you ever wanted to make Cyanostar for yourself? Now you can! Here, we share the detailed synthesis of CS on a large scale or in a rapid timeframe. @floodgroup.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

New paper live on ChemRxiv!

Those organic chemists have been getting too cocky lately, time to take them down a notch (make it illegal for them to mention the sixth element in the periodic table)

Also fun that the FAA has made it clear that I'm not welcome as a pilot either, by going to the very great trouble of reversing a completely sensible language modernization from "Notices to Airmen" to "Notices to Air Missions." So much work and expense just to put women aviators back in our places.

Super great that one of the major funding bodies that supports my physics research is now officially in opposition to me being the one to do it.

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

Science takes many weird and wonderful forms and can take you some weird and wonderful places. It got me flying higher and faster than I could have imagined, doing experiments in labs that look like this ⬇️

What a weekend! Camped out in Chain O’Lakes State Park in single digit temps before running my first marathon. On the way there, I stopped at Indiana Dunes National Park.

November 18 is the International Day of LGBQTIA+ People in STEM! Today more than ever we want to stress the importance of communities, building connections, and raising each other up. Let's keep leaving our mark for the betterment of us all! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #QueerinSTEM

The new platform means I get another chance to share the work that I am so proud of. Here is our recent publication in Digital Discovery! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

The difference in time zones means that these posts are how I end my work day. These are great photos! Keep them coming!

Placed a solvent jug on the bench perhaps a little harder than I should of and witnessed the bottom break out from under 2 L of THF which proceeded to destroy everything in a 2 ft radius, including lab notebook, the floor, and the soles of my shoes.

Undergraduate o-chem classes should spend more time on theory before introducing mechanisms?

Well, I think I’ll be over here more often going forward. I look forward to reconnecting with folks from the other app and finding new people. Let me know if you do science, sports, space, or aviation! I want to find my favorite communities!

Sometimes you labor for weeks to get crystals to grow. Sometimes you leave a couple vials open in the hood one night and get a nice surprise the next morning!
