Question for #chemiverse folks:

Does anyone have a favorite book for teaching environmental chemistry to environmental science majors?

The students I teach have taken Gen Chem I&II, but have not had O-Chem.

#introduction.

I'm a chemistry professor at UC Irvine that specializes in inorganic chem and electrochem.

My research focuses on #electrification of the chemical industry, #decarbonization, #carboncapture, and #sustainability. Current projects on electrochemical carbon capture and utilization, but also electric fields in #catalysis and #bioinsipred systems.

I'm an #academicmom that loves cooking, running, cycling, hiking, ultimate frisbee, and ice hockey but never has enough time.

If you accomplished ~anything~ academically during the pandemic, such as:

• submitted an application
• earned a degree
• passed a class
• did research
• learned something
• taught somebody
• submitted a manuscript
• stuck with it
• changed course
• set healthy boundaries
• figured out what works for you
• helped a colleague

you did it in Very Hard Mode, and I salute you!

If you got your butt kicked, you’re not alone 💜

Hi #ChemiVerse,

I have made it 3 months as a postdoc. 💙

And I wanted to share some tiny wins to manifest positive energy:

1: I gave my very first group meeting (Scientist Pikachu on Halloween)
2: I did my first carbon dot synthesis
3: I have read 50+ papers across 7 fields 🤡

1/3 #PostdocLife #Positivity
