I think there might be a compound from my PhD work that this happened with. I made multigram quantities of X-ray quality crystals and then… just… couldn’t ever again. It was bruuuuutal

Egregious behavior from UPS. A gift was sent to my child by an aunt. When it arrived, they said we needed to pay a $50 tariff. We refused delivery. They then sent my kid a bill for $77.47 that arrived after May 2nd but saying it had to be paid by May 2nd or they would also charge late fees. #tariffs #UPS #badbehavior

I'm looking for a fabric CD/DVD wallet, like I remember from the 90's. Every one I've seen is absolute crap - super thin plastic for the pockets that will rip quickly. It can be small capacity (40-50), I just want it to hold up. #askfedi

This is probably a question for @chemjobber , but does anyone know the per-capita number of chem PhDs? I have a researcher from the small Caribbean island of Dominica who is headed off to a doctoral program and I think it’s possible he’ll be the first from the island to do so

A “Walk the Line” or “Ray” style biopic of William Carlos Williams where his wife gets super mad at him for eating her plums and he writes that poem to win her back

Edit: answered! See replies for ideas if you are likewise interested.

Looking for a recommendation for a biography of Paul and Essi Robeson. I know there are a few and, given the fullness of their lives, imagine they may be of varying perspectives and quality. #askfedi #bookstodon
