@ClarkNano Have you been to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT? Fun place.

I never had a chance to book a vacation for this summer, and am experiencing a bit of regret. Last minute ideas?

What's the LD50 for dark chocolate covered espresso beans? I might be in trouble...

"I'm a pre-med with a 4.0, so you should change my grade to an A for your course." is my least favorite email to respond to after final grades are submitted. Some are more subtle than that, but the intent is always the same. #EndOfSemesterBlues

One of my favorite parts of every semester.

@andrechemist I did this in 2009-2010ish. It was cool and new at the time so it worked, and was actually fun to work within the 140-character limit. Now…

@heterocat Yes. I don't get deep into it, but it's a pretty natural extension of balanced chemical equations and the mole concept in general. I don't hammer those concepts too hard either, but I feel like it's an important "stretch" for the way they see the world.

Do you/your colleagues teach and asses stoichiometry in 100 level non-majors chemistry electives? E.g. chemistry of the everyday world courses

From my GOB chem textbook: "…butyric acid (CH3CH2CH2COOH), is one of the most foul-smelling substances imaginable." No sulfur, no nitrogen… I can imagine MUCH more foul-smelling substances…

It seems so strange that 1-2-3-4-5-(6) is just as likely as any other set of numbers for the Powerball lottery. #Lottery #Probability

I just tried using a pen from my desk. It didn't work. So I… threw it away instead of putting it back on my desk to try using it 30 more times. Weird.

Hey @MSExcel - Can the evaluative criterion for "=averageif()" be a cell reference? I tried using "=AVERAGEIF(BD3:BD96,"<BE98",BA3:BA96)" and got a "#DIV/0!" error. If I change "<BE98" to "<2" the formula works correctly. Thanks!

So with the rebranding, are we all supposed to refer to it as "my X" and never talk to it again? Or at least feel really awkward whenever we're together? #Sad #NotFunAnymore

I didn't really appreciate @EddieVedder's voice when I was younger. Now, it is absolute magic to my ears.

The first assignment in my Gen Chem lab is an equipment activity where students research the origin of various equipment. Half of my class says that the scoopula was invented by the @jillianldempsey group at UNC. Close, but not quite… tarheels.live/thescoopula/ab…

Grammar question: Let's say there's someone you don't know, we'll call him Doug. When his name comes up in conversation, you say "Doug who?" Or do you say "Doug, who?" It doesn't feel like there should be a comma there… #GrammarNerdsUnite

All communication about your summer class comes via your official university email. The only way I have to tell you that is... via your official university email. That's, um, challenging...

@evolscientist Our campus minimum is $12-13/hr. Paying $15+/hr requires special dispensation from the upper admin, $17/hr is hard-cap max. Meanwhile, Walmart (2 miles away) pays $18/hr to stock shelves. International students can't work off campus. #Diversity

@Richadetta @evolscientist Wait, no one said there was a pickle… that changes everything! #PowerOfThePickle #Priceless

@evolscientist Well heaven forbid you pay what the job is worth. How is the university going to compete with that when they want the best students for their campus jobs for 50 cents an hour and a free pickle with lunch?

So I says to myself, "Self," cuz that's what I call myself, "Self," I says, "how do I get the current date to display in a cell in @MSExcel?" The formula is "=TODAY()", and that's simply beautiful.

We're having a misbehaving #240FS #FlameAA instrument serviced today. I am irrationally worried that it will work perfectly when the tech arrives. @AgilentChem
