"Methylated Spirit"

[Since this is from On This Day 12 years ago, I'm fairly sure it's from one of the last times I was demonstrating in the teaching labs in York]

One day, science communicators are going to acknowledge the existence of Franklin and Gosling 'Molecular Configuration in Sodium Thymonucleate', Nature (1953).

Yes, two of my friends have deranged stalkers who are free to send visceral threats about how they're going to be raped, and that the police lack the capacity and power to do anything about it, but that's a fair price to get this dangerous individual off our fields!!

Having an NMR background, I'm very used to incredible stretches in the field of backcronyms, but "VR-HEd:SETS (Virtual Reality in Higher Education: Sharing Educational Tips and Stories)" is an astounding effort from the education community.

I promised some #ViCEPHEC / #ViCEPHEC25 people I'd dump a load of this in a folder. It's on an as-is basis. I'll work on curating and making it better later.

If any of you knit, @mrsglempy.bsky.social showed me this adorable little tea bag friend last night. Use this knowledge wisely.

Genuinely I have no idea where this six year old found time in her schedule to learn APT.

You'll never catch me uncritically copying code without understanding what it does from a chatbot.

I uncritically copy code without understanding it from Stack Overflow as God intended.

A2: Inclusive design is hard! As a cheeky plug, I’d draw back on last weeks’s #LTHEchat and the Designing for Diverse Learners Guidance that we’ve produced. It’s designed for stuff just like this!

Cleaning out my office and found these conference/symposium chairing signs for keeping speakers to time. I thought I'd lost them!

I think we're good to reveal the whole Christmas #Chemistree at Hull.

100 pieces of glassware (I think) in total. No liquids in it this time as I've dangled lights into the flasks instead.
