For those of you who work in production labs, when you have expired standards where the CoA states a stability study was underway but the CoA was not updated, do you hold on to those standards and wait for the update or do you mark for disposal?

I need an atmospheric scientist to explain this to me. 🧪

Sue: “Kyle’s compassion meant so much to me.”
Also Sue: “I hate Kyle so much. I don’t care that he’s a single dad, I want him dead.”

How does Sue not realize that being carried to final three means Rachel does not see her as a threat?

Years ago I predicted nitazenes would be the next wave of the opioid epidemic. This is one of those times I wish I was wrong. If you don’t know about nitazenes, this paper is a great place to start.

You realize with an even split, this means Rachel gets whatever she wants next week?

Not Andy using frequency probability and Caroline coming in and saying “no, we should be using Bayesian probability.”

I’m thinking of turning in my lease for a car with a manual transmission now that I live where it snows again. Do they make non-sports cars with manual transmissions anymore?

Catching up on this week’s episode of Survivor and all I could think about was the plastic pollution from the journey game.

As always, the night before Thanksgiving is the biggest “drinking holiday” in the United States. If you are going out tonight please use public transportation, taxi, or Uber after drinking. Expect DUI check points. Don’t miss the holiday because you are incarcerated or worse.

Strychnine comes up in a lot of older murder cases. Fascinating to see it was used in some beers back then as well. Another reason to dislike IPAs.
I loved doing toxic tales at the Bad Place and want to continue them here, too. So here's some #ToxTuesday and #PenAndInkPoison on the tale of strychnine, bitter beer, and misogyny in a bad death investigation. A long-ish 🧵

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

My undergrad just sent me slides he’s presenting tomorrow on the work he’s done to help with my project, and now I understand why my PI is a little crazy #ChemSky
