Deal still going!
I don’t usually share Black Friday deals because I’m not a yankee capitalist slave to Mammon but, Hocus Pocus is going cheap and I think it’s both A) normally a touch too expensive and B) occasionally needs a push since you can’t get it in bookshops.

the official abbreviation format for the journal of analytical chemistry is “Anal. Chem.”

I….uhhh. Spelled out the full title on all my ppts in lieu of brevity
Science PSA: Never abbreviate “analysis” as “anal”. Ever.

I would also add:

Being able to learn/do something despite your disinterest is a good skill to have. Its also a skill that you train, not a trait that you summon whenever convenient
We can teach people things that they aren't ever going to have any use for later in life! That's an okay thing to do!

Hello! today is 🎂🎉MY BIRTHDAY! 🎉🎂

For my birthday, plz read what is up of my webcomic/signal-boost this skeet? It would mean a lot to me!

Only 50 pages so far. It hasn't updated in ages, but I'm still working on it. Updates will resume when the backlog reaches 50 pages.

Me: Alexa, remind me of me best win streak.

Alexa (quietly): Christ, you are pathetic.

Me: Alexa, volume up.

Alexa (full throated): You got Wordle in 2 and came 7th in Apex Legends in September 2021. Would you like me to read your ex’s FB posts?

Me: oh yeah!

Alexa (quietly): FFS, waste of skin.

"I didn't have time to study. Can we make up points with a retake or extra credit?"

Hey, fun fact, both of those will require additional time in your busy schedule!

No idea what the inner workings of HR are but seeing a lot of scientist job applications get removed and swapped with intern, postdoc, or BS/MS-level alternates.

Must be a sign of a healthy tech economy!

“Can i turn in this homework late? I was busy studying for the test and couldnt get to it”

Fun fact! The homework is there to make you study on a schedule. It’s not just points/busywork!!

Grading my students “chemical infographic” assignments and….yup thats plagiarism

Low expectations and a list of approved/suggested sources did not help. Some ignored all that and just copy+pasted google AI summaries

Hearing conservative Christians talk about cutting benefits for the poor is wild. Like, I thought y'all believed in hell. Where do you think you're going, now?

This feels insane because panic happens so fast.

In the short time you respond to a stressor, your brain has already chatted with your bones, who then signal the adrenal glands that it's go time

It's baffling how complicated cross-body communication gets
What makes us feel "fight or flight" may be less adrenaline and more of something else—a hormone that seeps out of our bones.

With the algorithm we’ve perfected a technique: We fast track smarties to the researched videos and the mouth-breathers get the conspiracy slop

This way both sides can feel just as informed!

I like how Laika's first Wildwood trailer is a promo of their stop-motion technique rather than a movie overview. It looks incredible
