I don’t think I swear very much on this site, but maybe @profanity.accountant knows differently

I had the great pleasure of hosting Dr. Karine Auclair @auclairlab.bsky.social at USask Chemistry today. I was too captivated by her science to take photos! 🤦‍♂️ As much as I enjoyed it, the best part was the big impression she made by meeting with my trainees. 😊

Scarificator, 19th century. This instrument with spring-loaded blades delivered many cuts simultaneously. Afterwards, the doctor placed a heated cup over the site. As it cooled, blood was forced out of the wounds.

Wondermark #1360; Set the Calendar to Shuffle
ABATHA opens the front door to great GLENGIS, who is dressed in a Roman centurion helmet and what appears to be a bird beak mask. He also has huge sideburns/dundrearies but I think those are just his vibe. ABATHA: Hey, it’s Glengis! Glad you could make it to Thanksgiving! GLENGIS: Trick or treat! ABATHA: Go on. GLENGIS: I’m treating our culture’s MADE-UP RITUALS as interchangeable. We’ve inherited an astonishing agreed-upon symbology and it only ever gets put to the SAME OLD USES! It’s like learning the alphabet and then ONLY using it to sing variations on the alphabet song! GLENGIS: So I’m trying to spell NEW WORDS with it all. From now on, I eat turkey on Flag Day, shoot fireworks on Valentine’s Day, and drink green beer for eight WILD AN’ CRAZY nights! ABATHA: Cool. And what about the people you interact with in social settings, who are just going to assume you’re deranged? GLENGIS: Well THEY might end up finding rotten eggs in their stockings come Fourth of July!

Chemist Rachel Fuller Brown was born #OTD in 1898. She co-discovered the antifungal nystatin while doing research for the New York State Department of Health, hence the name. (1/2) 🧪 👩‍🔬

Black and white photo of Rachel Fuller Brown. She is older in this photo, with her graying hair pulled back. She wears a white lab coat over black pants and a light colored blouse. She holds a round-bottom flask in each hand and stands in front of a lab bench. There are rows to test tubes, an Erlenmeyer flask, and a microscope on the bench in front of here. There is another bench along the wall behind her, and glass cabinets full of flasks and other equipment on the wall behind her.

Great talk by Xiaoguang Lei at #ISCPDD. He talked about the use photoaffinity probes based on biosynthetic intermediates to fish for the relevant enzymes to identify e.g. an intermolecular Diels-Alderase.
