If you missed the chance last year to be my colleague, don’t worry - you have another opportunity! We’re looking for a department chair (open to any subdiscipline, including chemical education). See the full ad at https://t.co/NZhf1b44pM for more details. Please share!

@AprilLukowski Congrats, April! 🎉 Looking forward to seeing the cool science that will come out of your lab!

[Meg Breen @MegBreenPhD]

@ATinyGreenCell I’ll take one!

@drdre4000 I’m always on the look out for good deals on snacks! I keep the snacks in my office instead of the lab, and my research students know they are allowed to let themselves into my office to grab a snack. This might slow the consumption rate a little, but not much!

@VikShende N = 1, but I was on the hiring committee for my department last year. We looked at transcripts to see that applicants had the training background (very broadly defined) for the courses they would be covering. No one was ruled out based on their GPA, school they attended, etc.

@SigmaAldrich I’ll still accept chocolates even though it’s not a contest 😇

[Meg Breen @MegBreenPhD]

@ReneeBouley @BMorgan_Chemist This is what my lab does too.

[Meg Breen @MegBreenPhD]

The #BreenTeam will be at the Annual Symposium of the Protein Society - find us and say hello! #PS37

[Meg Breen @MegBreenPhD]

Day 20 and 21: A full day at the Blue Lagoon yesterday, and today we head home. Thanks 🇮🇸!

[Meg Breen @MegBreenPhD]

@oletaknowsstuff @ChemistryMIT If you’ll already be in Boston mid-July let me know - I’ll be in town for Protein Society and would love to buy you a belated celebratory drink!

[Meg Breen @MegBreenPhD]

@oletaknowsstuff @ChemistryMIT Congratulations, Oleta (and excellent recruiting @ChemistryMIT)! I can’t wait to watch your lab kick ass!

Day 19: Another glacier day - this time we explored an ice cave dug into Langjokull glacier.

[Meg Breen @MegBreenPhD]

@YoungShull I’m pretty sure I went there last time I was in Reykjavik - so good!

[Meg Breen @MegBreenPhD]

Day 18: Another very rainy and windy day, so we visited a shark museum to learn how hákarl (fermented shark) is made.

[Meg Breen @MegBreenPhD]

Day 17: A rare day of sunshine. Our bus driver told us the news said this has been the rainiest and windiest May in over 100 years.
