- Seems cruel when the point of *gestures broadly* was to allow us all to pursue what we find worth pursuing, which is inseparable from the fact "traditional" ways of finding food are increasingly going "extinct"

- Being hungry turns off long term memory (short term memory -> increased impulsivity)

Experimental measuring of adsorption isotherms to evaluate the MOFs performance.

🔬 After receiving the MOF adsorbents from IMAP-ESPCI, we test their performance by loading ~50 mg into the microbalance and measuring how their weight increases as gas pressure rises.
