I'm floored by this phenomenal window shelf a student made for my office (the eponymous "Self Shelf")--effectively doubling my garden space!
Window sill in an office with a series of potted plants and a newly installed elevated wooden shelf with more potted plants resting on top.

This was a welcome surprise! It's great to see ACS working to address some of their conference shortcomings that people have identified. #chemsky

Just when I thought my day couldn't get any better, Vivek Sharma publishes this great paper comparing the rheology of real mayo and vegan mayo: pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A...
A screenshot of a figure from a paper showing the radius evolution plots and neck shapes of a generic mayo sample to two other vegan mayo samples.

This is a great read: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... . Look how happy the cuvettes are.
Two part figure with part a) showing the structural isomerization of a conjugated polymer under different pH conditions, and part b) showing a series of cuvettes with lightly colored solutions and markings that--combined with a well-placed meniscus--make them appear to be smiling.

I went to the top of the parking structure next door to get a better picture of our building, Biodesign C, which is home to the Center for Sustainable Macromolecular Materials and Manufacturing (SM3)!
