Missing-my-shop-cuz-it’s-so-cold-in-MN-in-January blues. Thinking about bringing my “benchtop bench” indoors.

Incidentally, has been an absolute life saver for my back as it raises all handwork to eye level (design credit to Laura Kampf - youtu.be/zjqWvpdNbms?...)

Hey hey #Chemsky! 🧪

I'm gonna see if this works better than the other place to look for expert comments 🤗

I need someone who works in chirality and proteins for a story I'm working on - my DMs are open 📬

Reposts appreciated to boost visibility! Thanks 🙏🏼🔄

Made excellent progress on end grain…but at what price? I dropped one of my agonizingly sharpened chisels on the deck, requiring total re-bevel. Sigh

Maybe you've seen an "iodine clock" reaction in a chemistry class or science video. But has anyone ever explained how it works?

With stirring, this variant, called the Briggs-Rauscher oscillation reaction, can go through 16-20 color change cycles before being exhausted. (this is a looped gif 😉)
