So grateful for this experience 🙏 It’s been truly amazing

Congrats to @ChristinaGizzo on completing her MSc in our lab! Christina came from a neuroscience background to take on a synthetic project developing anticancer covalent inhibitors. She's looking forward to pursuing a career in psychiatric drug discovery. You've done us proud! 👏

Thrilled to celebrate both open science and women in science today at the SGC 20th anniversary symposium @thesgconline. If you’re around come say hi during the poster session!!

My life has changed now that I’ve used T3P in my amide couplings. Easiest workups, quant yield and no need for further purification, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!!

@ZJAyres Try Supercook! It’s a website where you list the ingredients you already have in your pantry/fridge, and the website generates a list of recipes using those ingredients. Takes away a ton of the mental energy for planning I find!

@AcademicChatter Establish boundaries early on, have a life outside of your PhD, and don’t be afraid of failure because that’s how you will learn!

@AshleyGWinter @jstclair1 I’ve personally had great experience with Oceanbuy beauty & lifestyle, Harajuku culture Japan and Japan-subculture-CA but l’m not sure if they ship worldwide (I’m in Canada)

@AshleyGWinter @jstclair1 Try Japanese sunscreens! The UVA protection is amazing, they’re high in alcohol content and evaporate quickly/don’t leave a gross film on the face like US sunscreens do. Great for under makeup - I recommend the skin aqua super UV moisture gel. You can get it on Amazon

@ASchniedermann @PhDVoice @OpenAcademics Haha give it a month or two

[Christina Gizzo @ChristinaGizzo]

Look closely.

There are actually 16 circles in this image.

And once you see them, the image appears changed forever.

Feeling pretty great about my life choices today since I have Virgin as a mobile provider and Bell as an internet provider

Hi friends, I recently made an instagram account for my cooking. If you like my @ChemistsWhoCook posts, check it out! In my latest post I make sfogliatella, a delicate Italian pastry https://t.co/S0lbBC3gWD

You know you’re a coffee addict when you get a second coffee before your first one is even done, just so you can continuously sip perfect temperature coffee for the next hour or so

Was craving doubles so I decided to make my own from scratch, along with some hot pepper sauce and tamarind chutney

When you accidentally fall asleep with your makeup on, wake up, and decide to just leave it on and hope no one is the wiser
