Hello Bluesky friends! I have two extra tickets to tonight’s #Sens game and want to make sure they find a home. RT this and reply with a Go Sens Go and I’ll pull a winner at 4pm.

I should play music to my instruments more often, maybe they'd be happier. It'd be a nice synergistic use of that minor degree listed on my diploma!

I got 8 followers and counting after I put this up.

I have to assume there's no causal relationship between the two, because this is the wurst post I've ever made.
I'm at the sausage bar. I'm at the coffee shop. I'm at the condiment milking parlour.

Beauty standards these days having everyone know their belt size in Å.
Lots of great chemsky content in @science.org this week, including a remarkable porphyrin nanobelt from the Saywell and Anderson groups 🧪

after the 10th radioactive shrimp recall in 7 weeks, i decided to do some digging

little did i know it would lead me to an underreported industrial accident that may have released an airborne plume of radioactive debris over swaths of indonesia

@bot.bulsink.ca Race Predictions for the #F1 #SingaporeGP

Looks like the model things George Russell wins or drops out of contention completely. Williams' pair still reasonable shot at points despite having a 10th row lockout after their penalties.

Chromforum seems to be down this morning, so...

Anyone have experience and advice on multiple Agilent GC-FID instruments connected to one workstation with OpenLab ChemStation ? The optimal network configuration (multiple NICs or use a switch?) in particular is my holdup I think. #Chemsky #AnalChem

Significant layoffs at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Richland, WA) today. Hundreds of people lost their jobs and were given under 30 minutes to gather their things and be walked off the premises.

No you can't make me invent an analytical test that gives you all the data from next to no sample. There's a reason I have quantities specified beside my capabilities. When it says 20 mL it's because I need to use 20 mL, not because I want to bathe in all the excess. #AnalChem #Chemsky

There's a farmer's almanac / wives' tale forecast for the coming winter based on these caterpillars. The thicker the brown (typically between the two black ends) the harder the winter...

I fear we're in for a tough time in the coming months.
