Pigment synthesis testing was successful!

I'm living the interdisciplinary dream! Art and chemistry together in my professional life (finally!)!!

It's lucky to have students that are artists and shifting careers into the sciences. This Madame Curie painting was made with only reclaimed pigments from mine waste by a SSC student.

8 years ago I was so angry with the attacks on science 🧪 and marching in DC at a stand with science rally did give me hope. Yesterday I did the exact same thing in Seattle. But it is so much worse. Call your reps! Tell them to honor the existing grants to labs!
