Pissed off scientist, mumbling truths like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold.

I am neither a perfectionist nor an ideologist. I am just a little academia-developed OCD. #PhDLife #RealTimeChem #AcademicConfessions #PhDChat

Creativity is not an ephemeral eureka moment; it is a lifestyle of persistent disciplined experimentation undaunted by failure. #phdlife #RealTimeChem

Arriving to the lab and finding beautiful crystals, and then finding out that they're of your starting material 😢😢😢 #RealTimeChem #frustrating

The 5 stages of grant writing:
1. I have an idea!
2. This is sort of complicated
3. This will never get done in time
4. It might actually come together
5. This is fun, and I’m super excited!
...directly coincides with: submitted - now back to all of the work I’ve been putting off

@Julie_B92 My code comments usually include a lot of swearing and not meant to be shared with the outside world...

This is like my dropbox telling me that I just added a few thousand files, making me wonder if dropbox thinks I am hacking the UN...

@ass_deans Can I give my postdocs'?

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Dear Senior Faculty, please don’t give out the personal cell phone numbers of junior faculty as a contact and replacement when you are trying to avoid professional service obligations.

@pcabezaspadilla Perhaps our universities should pay more attention to training for policy engagement, akin to the COOP/internships/apprenticeships collaborations with industry?

[Ivory scholar @IvoryScholar]

There certainly should be more scientist and engineers involved evidence-based debate, policy and government. Thank you @pcabezaspadilla for sharing!

First paper took 17 minutes to mark. There are 80. I'm totally and utterly doomed.

[Grumpy Reviewer @GrumpyJReviewer]

That paper was about as useful as all those unboxing videos on YouTube.
