Crystallographer with far too many opinions. Shouldn't have to say these things but Black Lives Matter and Transwomen are women. She/Her
For those of you keeping score, I'd like to think that @crystengcomm.rsc.org hasn't gone so far down hill since I was a guest editor in 2019 but this AI cover does not fill me with confidence

@crystengcomm.rsc.org what are we doing here? All the crystallographers are sharpening their pitchforks... #chemsky

For anyone who needs to explain science to their non- scientist friends & relatives, I wrote this.... maybe it helps. #chemsky #scisky

So I realize that most scientists believe themselves totally against the right wing agenda but when I see you organizing symposia with one woman, i get the feeling you aren't as far from that agenda as you think you are.

Hey @adamschiff.com this form letter reply does not reassure me one bit. No urgency, no acknowledgement of anything.

Do better.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

I travel a lot for work. Here's one simple trick i use to not be constantly sick: I wear a mask.

If not these KN95s, then my Flomask. Do I get strange looks? Yes. Do I get sick? Not usually. Covid is still here + many other nasty things. Do future-you a favor and wear a mask. #StillMasking

How are we feeling about the annual challenge that is the #GCHQChristmasCard ?? I've tried to hide the picture by calling it graphic. 😅

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

If I had friends here with me, I would have dragged them into a karaoke joint, but since I don't, I'm getting a hojicha milkshake instead🤷🏼‍♀️

Feels like an eternity ago. Now as I prepare to jump from this sinking ship, I look around and see hollowness and grift where world-changing interconnection used to exist.

Fuck you Elon Musk.

I don't know if the Boba shop guy knew that I was irritated, but he gave me a free mochi doughnut anyways. A hero the people needed.

I guess I missed #lightsourceselfies yesterday? Dang.

Anyways, here's me and two colleagues after we finished up at @esrfsynchrotron and visited the snowy peaks nearby.

Last day at the APS user meeting and I still have a bunch of cool swag to give away and super fast detectors to yap at you about!

My phone camera laughs at my attempts and gives me an eclipsed sun as an afterthought.
November 3, 2024 at 12:45 PM
Best I could do🤷🏼‍♀️

Doing some low budget eclipse viewing. 33% of totality is still something!
