Does anyone have a favorite voice to text software that can handle scientific terms or learn them? My right hand is going to be out of action for quite a few months and my computer keeps thinking that iron pyrite is iron pirates and a million other annoyances.

It is such an honor to be elected to the AAASFellows. I explained to my parents it as the "Cool Scientists Club" and it is a treat to be among many greats. Much thanks is owed the wonderful mentors, students and colleagues I have worked with over the years.

BEST RAFFLE WIN EVER. One of my freshman from last fall's writing course put my name in a faculty raffle, since he wasn't allowed to put in his own. I had no clue until I won! The fact that a student thought of me makes the prize so much sweeter! Thanks Joey! #givingday @vuartsci

@KamatlabND @ChemMater I'd be so afraid that the angry note would somehow not get shredded and end up in the hands of my enemies.

I’m leading @VanderbiltChem in learning CPR and AED. I’m getting older and I’ve got to make sure there are enough people around to save my butt!

Sure, @RaySchaak we'll write a "little" perspective on phase control for your new journal. 165 references and 18 pages later, it is more like our group's Magnum Opus. And it is open access for all to read, right after you finish War and Peace! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

I am considering resurrecting a 200 level "Nanochemistry" course that hasn't been taught for years. Anyone have a syllabus for a similar level course they'd let me see?

@JimPfaendtner I stressed about this some years ago and asked a big fancy chemistry prof and @JBuriak simply looked at me and said "Janet, just make cool s%*&." I've lived by that philosophy ever sense.

Jokes on this post aside, post tenure was a super challenging time for me. I felt kind of lost about what I wanted to do with my research and career and my first attempt at figuring it out was to ask every full prof who visited for seminar (1/n)

@JimPfaendtner You look least happy after tenure. Is that what we should expect?

Anyone else hear @brian_korgel on NPR tonight? My kids didn’t believe me when I said I knew that guy.

I get the honor of presenting Enes Buz's (@almost_chemist) awesome work today (Sunday) at 4:30 in Moscone South, room 304. Looking forward a great few days of science after skipping Indy. #ACSFall2023
