5k farts into the couch let’s goooo

No, I don't want no streaks. A streak is a spot that can't get no RF from me. Hanging out on the OH groups of the silica gel, trying to not H-bond.

Where is inorganic memes for c2v teens when you need them!!

If you haven’t worked for a university, you might not know that one of the primary ways universities manage sexually violent faculty is promoting them away from students and into power.

It isn’t a coincidence. It’s the system working as designed.

Yeah I don't like to BS on these and always worry that I'm doing my students a disservice by being upfront they are average. Of course I do have the occasional exceptional student but the evidence of that goes beyond me ticking boxes.

So while the reference letter economy piss me off, I still do my freaking job *glares at people who say no due in these conditions* and fill the form because I don't want my students to suffer from a system they did not build. (3/3)

I tell them upfront what I will write (I have boilerplate text) and that it's not a high quality letter, instead that they should seek someone who knows them better. But many of these students never take a sub-200 students class. Writing letters for former TAs/coop students is much easier. (2/3)

I teach a 500+ people lab for a lot of professional school hopefuls and also run outreach that uses a pool of 100+ volunteers yearly. So I get asked for a LOT of reference letters for students I just know basic info. (1/3)

Me as a grocery store employee giving milk samples: "that's right, soyboys! Recall the fresh taste of mammary secretions!"

Wait I've never seen a report on student preparedness before. Is that common of US institutions? I wonder if Canadian institutions do the same. I generally don't understand how admissions work too much other than number grades and agree that usually doesn't tell a full picture.

Especially since I think we should deepen green chemistry in curriculum, giving a project on say comparing chemistry that on the surface does the same transformation in terms of env impact, selectivity, applications, etc. Asking why new chem is invented in 2025 is a fun Q for 4th/new grad Ss.

I've been thinking a lot about the redox conditions taught in 2nd year (say Jones/KMnO4) when they are not really used much. I was shown Dess Martin within the bunch because my PI was the lecturer, it's simple enough plus it's not like we test the mechanism for Jones really.

TPPO more like PITA

Tuesday is indeed the seventh best day of the week.

Ooh big stretch

OMG you just gave me a flawless argument for why I *do* indeed need the kbbq grill plate I saw at the cookware store. So my cat can have a lil kbbq, as a treat.

I think those would work better as toaster strudels. Poptarts don't have enough filling!
