First postdoc project is out! It's been fun figuring out how to measure chemical environment inside these individual nanoscale compartments. Looking forward to the next experiments!

New & improved ISABEL trap confines single bio nanoparticles in solution, using a near-IR beam to track objects & visible beams for fluorescent reporting. Redox was measured in carboxysomes. @wmcarpenter760 @MoernerLab @SavageCatsOnly

@ChemTokmakoff Woo! Congrats Andrei!!

Looking for my 1st PhD student! If you're interested in revealing the secrets of molecular reactivity with ultrafast spectroscopy in solution/at interface, apply now. We are starting soon in Zurich! Details below. Retweets highly appreciated. 1/2

One of the great pleasures I have is teaching physical chemistry @DukeChemistry. One of the fundamental confirmations of quantum theory that we cover is the spectrum of HCl. Only recently did I learn of the contributions of Dr. Elmer S. Imes to the bedrock of physical chemistry.

"Several programs have aimed to increase the inclusion of minorities in science. Although well-meaning, many of these have been either ineffective or not conducted at an adequate scale. We urgently need more + bolder efforts." Varmus et al @ScienceMagazine https://t.co/drwlYlE1Zj

I am looking for some good CHEMISTRY WRITING exercises to use with my research group. e.g. re-writing sentences and paragraphs etc. Any suggestions? Thread below is the writing resources I use. 1/10 #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #writingtips #ozchem #chemistry #publishing

I'd like to announce that I've added a new section to my CV called 'Contributions to Diversity: Mentoring, Outreach, and Events Organized'. It's time we normalized getting credit for #DEI efforts.

I have never, in my whole life, seen as much jargon in a single sentence. I have a PhD in biology and have no idea what this means. We must communicate science better. #scicomm

[William Memo Carpenter @wmcarpenter760]

Lol sounds familiar. And then recognition as citations comes even more years later, if at all. But the one time I saw "Carpenter et al" was v exciting

[Brady Johnston @bradyajohnston]

I'm putting dogs as place-holder images while I'm laying out sections of my thesis, and honestly, it really helps with morale.

Grad school needs to be less of training folks to always have the hottest or best take and more of positioning people to sit in community and struggle with ideas, problems, & not knowing.

Sound on is key. I know I missed the beat drop, but I was cry-laughing over my own genius. Happy #fluorescencefriday and have a lovely weekend 🐙 @f_elements @lanthanides_cph

From passage of the #SB202 voter suppression bill targeted at Black and brown voters to the arrest of a Black legislator who was advocating for the voting rights of her constituents, today was a reminder of Georgia’s dark past. We must fight for the future of our democracy #gapol

When I was looking for a job, a professor (not my advisor) suggested that I use an English name so I would have a better chance of getting an interview. This is unfortunately accurate. Assumptions and stereotypes drive discrimination. #StopAsianHate
