RIP Caltech chemist and Nobel Prize winner Bob Grubbs. I had the utmost privilege to work in his lab during my senior year of college. Bob was such a humble person, and he would nominate me to attend the fancy events he was hosting. What a loss to the chemistry world.
Ever notice how enthusiastic your dog can be? In life expectancy, a single day for humans corresponds to a week for dogs. Maybe they know this. And maybe that's why they make every day count.
In undergrad an admin I worked with was celebrating a wedding anniversary, I think 50th. I asked his advice for a successful marriage.
With a calm voice he said "respect and dignity".
Could it be that simple? I think he was on to something, it's not just for marriage.
I just rediscovered why I stopped going through Facebook posts, all of these conspiracy theories are too much. It must be an odd day because I can't even right now.
It's a beautiful day, the sun is out and it almost feels like summer. It's a weird sensation when the chaos of the media and covid19 is not present when you put your phone down. I guess I forgot that nature doesn't care if the market is crashing.
My grad school attire:
✅Comfortable hoodie for lab work
✅Headphones to get in the zone
✅Goggles cause you know, safety
Let's be real, of the three we know what's most important. #dropthebase
