Tips for succeeding in a chem class TL;DR:
1. Schedule weekly support
2. Expose yourself to the content early & often
3. “Chemistry is learned w/ a pencil in your hand.”
4. Reflect to seek out support
5. Reminder that your ability is changeable!
What is missing?

Happy first day of class to my general chemistry II students, and to many of y’all! To celebrate, I made a video outlining my top five tips to succeed in a chemistry class! 🩷🧪⚛️📝🪞⚗️🩷 #chemtwitter tiktok.com/t/ZT8Vuqqch/

We are sad to learn of the passing of Marilyn Lovell, the loving wife of Gemini and Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell. During the Apollo 8 mission, Capt. Lovell named a mountain on the Moon "Mount Marilyn" in her honor. Our thoughts are with him and the entire Lovell family.

@andrechemist Build it into the laboratory curriculum so that juniors and seniors are doing authentic projects in lab. Requires scaffolding of skills and independence through Gen Chem and organic.

I was talking to my dad about those 1-10 pain scales they use at doctors' offices and how they don't really work and my dad, an engineer, said they should have a standardized needle they stab you with as a benchmark and tell you, "This is 5."

Travel boundaries part 8: We visit a location before an event if possible. Mom checks the room, locates relief areas for me, understands where we'll be talking/presenting making sure it is what we need, that I have space, and she can stand behind a podium to balance while talking

@andrechemist I regularly have multiple tabs of the same course of Blackboard open in Chrome for comparing drafts to revisions or sorting through tests from the front and back ends.

Instead, the US government decided to set up the Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Programme, sending 30 million pounds of cheddar to welfare programmes.
And lo and behold, a new pop culture icon was born.

The pile had gotten too big. The cheese was starting to go off and the huge underground storage facilities ended up costing $1 million a day to run.
At one point a USDA official suggested, “probably the cheapest and most practical thing would be to dump it in the ocean.”

In 1949, the US government started buying surplus milk in order to prop up the dairy industry.
And by the 80s, they ended up having more cheese than they knew what to do with. At one point, 1.2 billion pounds of it – which is about the size of a small mountain 🗻

I cried last year after hearing a government cheese joke and having to explain it to my teen. He has not ever had that experience, but I have.
Told that story to my students and got nods of understanding.

@heydebigale Me, personally? I will likely mask the first 2-3 weeks of class to let that first round of illness run through. Same after breaks and when more students than usual are ill. I work in a large lecture hall and a lab with hoods. So much air.

@heydebigale My reasoning: They are fully vaxxed/boosted. I don’t want them to feel like they need to lie to me about masking if they really don’t want to do it. Dealing with elementary, middle school, and one in a program that is already somewhat sequestered from much of the school.
