Chemistry, but also educational comics. The internet needs more cats.

Crazy how you're able to root for the bird or the worm, all depending on which one you were watching ten seconds before they met

@NUChemistry @KatieAMoga And Emily McClure!

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@UWMadisonChem Congrats Kristi! Wishing you the best!

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@NUChemistry @sophtalkssci @angew_chem I’ve written one! I also have a small collection including fabulous authors such as @sciencecomic and @cmtribull and @gtlabsrat but I’m always looking for more

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@bugcounter @benjaminchapman 😔

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@mkramer Felt squares and rectangles of various colors, plus Velcro?

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@MichaelBlayney5 @NU_RSSI This has a strong TARDIS vibe and I am thrilled about it

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@bugcounter 🤔🤔🤔

Thank you! Interesting as always!

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@bugcounter @benjaminchapman even MUFFINS are risky?! https://t.co/MZAg9ktA0F

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@bugcounter Better safe than listeriosis, I always say

But if listeria is in “a lot of food processing environments” it must have been found in a particular place that made it double bad to cause a recall?

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@Teachforaliving I have so many recommendations! What field are you looking in? I would say cartoon guide to chemistry by Larry Gonick and Craig Criddle is a good place to start if you are looking for chem!

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@bugcounter @benjaminchapman Ooooo thank you! I will listen as I cook my lentils!

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@benjaminchapman @bugcounter risky or not?! I soaked lentils Sunday afternoon for that night’s dinner and ended up having too much food so I drained the lentils and put them in the fridge. Are they risky to cook on Monday? Would they be risky Tuesday night?

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

Also I can’t tell if Ben really does like birthday wishes or not 🤔

...but I will just say @benjaminchapman I appreciate you and your work and I think it is cool that you do things that make the world a better place! 🎂!

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

Does it change if I didn’t drain them and the soaking process was extended? I love hearing the boundaries and edges of the problem... but maybe that is a different podcast!

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@theandrewbriggs You’re welcome! I am sorry it was not timely; I hope your water from 4/8 got cold by now

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@bugcounter @benjaminchapman Thank you!

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@theandrewbriggs More surface area means colder faster. if you could pour it all in a pan to have a very shallow puddle that would be best. Also consider material of the container, you want something that transfers heat efficiently. Think styrofoam (bad heat transferer) vs metal (good transferer)

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@bugcounter @benjaminchapman Cool! I will be happy to look at them, if they exist, which clearly they do not

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@benjaminchapman @bugcounter Risky or not: Opening a gas tank with a pipe wrench and NO REGULATOR? 😱

[Veronica @squirrelchomp]

@bugcounter @benjaminchapman Yes of course this is purely a theoretical Risky Or Not. Without seeing the theoretical device that is theoretically attached to the gas tank, it is hard to say! But this sounds like I'm dithering now...
