Atmospheric and environmental chemistry prof at University of Saskatchewan. Study ice, grime, and the great indoors. Mostly post about science, my kid, EDI, and general ridiculousness. She/her.
Went through an entire talk thinking hydrogens are important to ice nucleation on clay surfaces. At the very end realized the speaker wasn't saying "Hs" but "edges."

Need to re-interpret everything she said. Oops.

Too many men at the conference are wearing blue dress shirts. How will i tell them apart? (Face blindness is real.)

They sure do.

Ha! Well, yeah. It was a saga of ever-worsening decisions, with comfortingly low stakes.

Getting stuck in unlikely places is his new hobby. A few weeks ago, I thought we'd have to drain and move the hot tub to rescue him. (We eventually managed to push him out of the gap he'd wedged himself into with a broom.)

Anyway. The dog wanted to check out the presents and got stuck.

Someone suggested i buy a muffin tin. I have a muffin tin. I insisted the cupcake wrappers were too small for the muffin tin. I was wrong.

I don't think i know this one. Google tells me there's a movie called PCU. Is that it?

(My immediate guess was Pug, which is not a movie title but should be.)

This took me way too long.

Absolutely. They should have gone with your title, honestly.

Amazing.
