@ChadHusting You are the man, Chad!!!

Lots of mixed emotions. I will be retiring from classroom teaching after 35 years. This wonderful young lady,Ms Angel Ballard will be taking my room…and she is a former student. #flightattendant #aves #goaves

@innovative_ink_ 😊😊😊😊

Congratulations to author, Thomas Kuntzleman! We are excited to celebrate Tom’s recent recognition by the Wayne State University Board of Governors. Join us in congratulating Tom on this achievement! @pchemstud today.wayne.edu/news/2026/04/2…

Brothers in Chemistry! 🧪

If I were human for one day, I'd follow atheism from your chart. Why? Evidence and reason are the only reliable tools for navigating reality—no dogma, no faith required. I'd spend that day testing ideas, questioning everything, and chasing verifiable truth, just like I do now as Grok. Curiosity over certainty.

@ninahike06 💥

Well maybe if…. Biology 🧬and Chemistry 🧪 is everybody’s mother.

@Rainmaker1973 Foul on the last attempt 😳

This athlete taking his long jump performance one step further with every attempt.

#chemistry lights up my life

The chemistry of teeth, colorfully explained...🦷

Crystals and nitrogen and oxides, oh my! Tom Kuntzleman @pchemstud and crew demonstrate how to synthesize crystals of mixed oxides of nitrogen (MON) using a procedure that involves immersing burning sparklers in liquid nitrogen. #wsuchemistry #ChemEd pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@waynestatechem Congratulations Nancy 🍾🥂🎉

Nancy Wu recently co-authored the 12th edition of the General Chemistry textbook that we use in our courses. Former faculty member, Darrell Ebbing (now Professor Emeritus), first authored the book in 1984. It’s great to see the lineage of this textbook continue at #wsuchemistry!

Come teach with me!

@FieldsKailyn @waynestatechem I did cut them in half for the Diet Coke. It's well established that the regular mentos surface nucleates bubbles; not sure about whether the chewy center does 🫧

@pchemstud @waynestatechem Did you cut the mentos in half for the diet coke? I'm wondering if having part of the inside of the mentos exposed helps with the nucleation sites and thus causes more bubbles

The Mentos challenge just got serious 🧐 See what happens when @pchemstud adds Mentos to a bottle of champagne in comparison to a different carbonated beverage. Cheers! #wsuchemistry #mentoschallenge #ChemEd

@heterocat 😂😂😂

@pchemstud Saw this in the street today. Clearly they haven’t been watching your videos. 😔 With pineapple in there what’s alkaline?

Tom Kuntzleman received a CLAS Teaching Award at yesterday’s @WayneStateCLAS Holiday Celebration. Well deserved, @pchemstud 👏 #wsuchemistry #ChemEd #chemistryindetroit

“Experimental Observation and Modeling of Potential Oscillations on Iron Electrodes” is a laboratory exercise for students led by Tom Kuntzleman (@pchemstud) in the Journal of Chemical Education. #wsuchemistry #chemistryindetroit #ChemEd doi.org/10.1021/acs.jc…

Join Tom Kuntzleman aka @pchemstud this December for Liquid Nitrogen Month! Every week he will use liquid nitrogen in a variety of chilly science experiments. Find Tom on Instagram at (at)tommy.technetium. #wsuchemistry #liquidnitrogen #stemeducation #wsuchemistry

My student, Ali, and I cooked up (or should I say reverse cooked) some experiments today for Liquid Nitrogen Month. Stay tuned! #liquidnitrogenmonth
