A test on dark chocolate revealed traces of lead. 😱Do you need to give it up? @CarletonChem Prof. Yaxi Hu (@yaxihu1122) says it's important to remember just how much dark chocolate you would need to consume to hit risky levels of lead or cadmium.🍫 STORY: cbc.ca/news/health/da…

Many of my (first year) students have never taken a timed, in person test, so today I did a practice “exam” - similar questions, exam conditions, but only for a bonus mark. Easing students in to university life teaches them “mistakeability” and reduces stress. #SoTL
