Kerstin Schochhad my first group meeting today with the students whose theses I’m supervising this semester. I hope they feel as empowered as I do. dang, I’m surrounded by such a lovely bunch of badass abolitionist intersectional feminists!

Gave a talk to the chemistry club about resumes and networking. Seemed to be well received. I love my job but it requires so much extroverting. I would like to hide in my office and read now, please. Thank you very much.
DasCleaned up and even got a jacket for this 2 day trip my univ wanted me to take (includes a nice dinner with some alumni). But seems like a scorcher here in San Diego - temps will hit 82 ⁰F almost 28 ⁰C 😳
Forgot to share this yesterday, but I submitted the second round of revisions to my in progress paper. Yay!
Also, I realized this morning I left in some rather pointed comments in response to that critical review. I am curious if the editor will say anything? Probably not, but we’ll see. Personally I would love to have a real conversation with that critical reviewer (never gonna happen). I have a lot I would say to them.
Getzler Lab at KenyonCollegeNot groundbreaking, but the work in this paper enabled the interesting polymer degradation studies my students & I are doing now. As you can see from the author list, many many people contributed over the years. I count 6 who have finished or are pursuing PhDs plus others involved in other areas of science. Greyson is sole 1st author because he got obsessed with NMR, did all the final fiddly bits, & wrote the 2D analysis. #NMR #iScience #chemistry #PUI #proflife #ProudPI https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004226005651
TIL "band spectra" is not only a science term; there exists a "Band Spectra". My life is rich is esoterica.
