@MichelleFrancl @NatureChemistry "Where is your phone when you are studying?" "How many times do you look at it when you are studying (thus interrupting your thought process/concentration)?" Etc., etc.

[Dina Merrer @dcmerrer]

@MichelleFrancl @NatureChemistry Colleagues and I have said we could have an "automaton" for certain interactions - maybe not teaching, but some of the questions I regularly ask students when they say they are having trouble learning the material. "What does it mean when you say you are 'studying?'"

Curious how colleges in the area make their campuses to be more sustainable? Us too! So we chat with sustainability directors from 4 of the 5 colleges about their initiatives and findings.

So excited to finally share that I’ll be the @UMassAmherst commencement speaker in May! I am so grateful for this opportunity. Can’t wait!

@ChemistCampbell @clvizcarra The thoughts I tried to stave off when I was cleaning out half my chem inventory (~200/400 bottles) last week. #Ruthless

[Dina Merrer @dcmerrer]

@MichelleFrancl It seems like the grand conclusion from your tea research is: just use leaves, no bag.

[Dina Merrer @dcmerrer]

@StevenLopez_neu @ArthurHWinter Agreed! Where's @ratemyskyperoom ?

[Dina Merrer @dcmerrer]

@doleary47 @pomonacollege @ACS4Authors Great, Dan! Congrats!

@wmwuest @WuestLab @AReddiLab @EmoryChem @laneygradschool I feel like you need to design a baseball jersey for your group, with each graduate's respective name/number on back.
