It’s #Chemistree season! Here’s one I made back in 2016. The use of an upside-down pear-shaped flask as a tree topper was, in retrospect, an unfortunate choice…
This year's #Chemistree, made by the science prefects. A range of pHs with UI, lots of fun with fluorescein, some density layered stuff, a Tollens silvered flask, and cherry and clove oils with wooden splint wicks, so the back of the lab now smells a bit like Christmas pudding. And fairy lights, cos PHYSICS.

Does this thing make me look short?

Just realised none of these include the "star" at the top, which is just a print out, but maybe in the next few weeks I'll acquire a few black and white baubles and go at it with a hot glue gun.

Another #Chemistree post because it's done now, with a few extra flasks to bring it up to 100 items.

With the exception of a few final touch-ups and maybe adding the fake snow under it, I think that's the Christmas Tree done this year.

I might be leaving Chemistry, but going out with a bang. Or perhaps with a crash and the shattering of a lot of glassware if this goes wrong.

As with last year, the theme is "You do not talk to Health and Safety about the Christmas Tree". Hopefully finished and lit by the end of the week.

#SFUScience staff and faculty are heading to our annual holiday party this afternoon. In the meantime, please enjoy the view of this year's #SFUChemistry #chemistree created by SFU's academic glassblower Lucas Clarke. #SFU #chemistry
