Apple is seriously tripping. The new iMacs have 2 USB-4 ports, and a headphone jack. What in the actual hell? I cant plug in any of the devices I currently use, but let me go find my headphones from 2005 and put them to use again yay. #apple

@hanaveler Congratulations!! When you're satisfied with the number of ripped gloves, turning the ring inwards towards the palm helps prevent it haha.

Today discovered "Apple Polishing Cloth™️"

Good: It's fully backwards compatible

Bad: No cross platform support available

The day we conceptualized this paper, I thought to myself "I wonder if this will show up in Practical Fragments"... and here we are! Thank you Dan Erlanson for the review 😄

Having first learned how to refine crystal structures on a 3.5 A data set, I still cant get over how beautiful higher resolution (1.6 A) structures are.

@khyati_tripathi @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice @PhDForum @PhDStudents There might be an option to delay the open access publishing of your thesis by a year or two, to allow time to publish as needed. This was an option when I self-submitted my thesis to the publisher website (selected by University).

@jesflres Tons of people around me, including myself, my labmates, roommates, friends. Have been directly exposed a few times but masking ensured we didn’t get it.

@bmb_utmb @AndrewRouth Congrats!!
