Physical Organic Chemist and master of weird stuff. I love science, education, games, and geeky t-shirts. All tweets are mine alone.

@mathhub_vn I am, because you either use fractions and parentheses like a reasonable being or promptly turn yourself in to the police for immediate and indefinite detention.

@coL_Amazonian Don’t forget the humble Power Conduit! It is one of my favorite toys for the Praetor Sagas.

@SimonHiggins_60 @NMRspectroscopy Oh, I thought we were looking at 19F NMR! That being said, those cyclopropane protons are non-equivalent, so the geminal H should give the biggest splitting, followed by the F and the H on the alpha C.

@magiceggo If there is a different arrangement of hydroxyl groups (more 1,2 arrangements) you might be able to functionalize to an acetal (reversibly) using a mild acid and acetone. Might make them different enough for chromatography.

@Chemjobber 2 electron, 3 bond complexes are totally normal /sarcasm

@NMRspectroscopy A has protons on both rings capable of W coupling whereas B does not. Protons on the N-ring for B will be two doublets, whereas A should have a doublet and then a dd.

@NMRspectroscopy My initial guess would be either rotomers or diasteromeric interactions being caused by the new solvent system, i.e. supramolecular arrangements.

@BelcriaTheBard My condolences Bel, and if you need me, I you know where to find me.

@Teachforaliving Barry Sharpless, because he was my PI’s boss in grad school

@bloodyfasterTV @JackieMButler A damn fine game! Chrono Trigger is mine but ME2 is competitive with it for sure

@dasingleton I have found that while in grad school, my professors and peers appreciated me being vocal with questions for almost every speaker. In industry, I have been told, “No one wants to hear how smart you think you are,” as a response to my asking questions in similar formats.

@VibhaNarayanan @AcademicChatter @OpenAcademics By the time I defended my dissertation, I had already seen myself has a PhD holder, just in waiting. I was in between feeling like a toy that ran out of batteries to laughing.

@robertnulrich I also maintain that the SCOTUS stole Congress' power to strike down laws in Marbury vs Madison. Both Congress and the President have mechanisms in their hands to tell the SCOTUS to jump off a bridge because they can't make anyone obey their rulings by themselves.

[Eredai @Eredai]

@robertnulrich The thing to remember about the SCOTUS is that it lacks a key feature: an enforcement mechanism. Andrew Jackson, Lincoln, and FDR basically told the court to kiss their ass. "John Marshall has made his decision. Let him enforce it with his army."

@BelcriaTheBard I would vote for Until Dawn or The Quarry.

@awhspeed I think this betrays the lack of thought given to syntheses that could be done via radical reactions versus all polar all the time by PIs and mentors.

@DnDBeyond Shapechange is #1 for me
