I'm determined to live forever, or to die trying. 6th year physical chemistry PhD student with experience building new instruments from the ground up.

@hshaytoru Honestly... I'd probably prefer a listserv. Then the tweets come to me.

@jpsenescence I call this the pi principle. All projects take pi times longer than you estimate to complete.

@c3vrotors I lived considerably better in my Paris suburb than I do in Davis...

Reading about "natural, chemical free" ways to clean your house has me understanding how people turn into grumpy old people...

Half, of the editing, @kncrabtree does on my papers, is removing all my extra commas. #UCBuchanan

@iamjwashburn @Google OH MAN! One of my old phones, being able to set the hotword was a feature (not sure why they got rid of that...) that I loved. And I would use "Come in star command". Then, when it failed to recognize it, I could always say "Why won't they answer" so I didn't feel so silly.

@Dr_Meming @OpenAcademics Wow. I think this is literally how I was procrastinating at the time of this tweet. Please stop spying on my home.

When I got my t-shirt for free from @drpepper the card that came with it told me to sneak a Dr pepper dark Berry into the theater. So we did. #drpepper

@BrianTMcClellan just wanted to let you know I loved the valkyrie collection series so far. Anxiously awaiting another one one day.

Asking me when I'll finish my PhD is an act of violence.

I told my siblings in a call a little while ago that I don't want to talk about how my dissertation writing is going, so now my sister calls my dissertation "Bruno" and tells me that I should be working on him. #UCBuchanan #chemtwitter #AcademicTwitter

@Ilsastellar Wait, but how did they take ftir spectra of the solids they made in ochem lab??

[Zachary Buchanan @UCBuchanan]

@hshaytoru I regret that I can only like your tweet once.

[Zachary Buchanan @UCBuchanan]

@c3vrotors That's a mood

[Zachary Buchanan @UCBuchanan]

@kncrabtree @c3vrotors If no one in your circles is playing it, is it still being anti trendy to not play it?

[Zachary Buchanan @UCBuchanan]

@Microsoft @Windows Why do you feel the need to unmute my system sounds every time you do an update? I intentionally had them muted, and it makes me angry, every single time.

@c3vrotors Sometimes while I'm working I launch a game on my desktop. And run my 3d printer. Warms up the office nicely.

[Zachary Buchanan @UCBuchanan]

@cmmmsubmm @hshaytoru That's why you basically just know the one @hshaytoru. @cmmmsubmm took out all the other ones.

[Zachary Buchanan @UCBuchanan]

@c3vrotors I'm surprised you didn't order 20...
