I am currently the master of finding the flaws in the freshly installed detector before the tech leaves! #RealTimeChem

"The wavelength of the light emitted when the electron returns to the ground state from n=3 is the same as the wavelength of light absorbed to go from n=1 to n=3." T/F

Wait, do they know about Stokes shift yet? #RealTimeChem

This textbook uses the same symbol (or so close I can't tell them apart) for frequency and velocity. wtf. THIS IS NOT GOOD WHEN TALKING ABOUT QUANTUM MECHANICS. #RealTimeChem

Time to review basic quantum mechanics questions. Much more confident in this then my theromochem, I did really well in all my physics classes, but still need a review to answer some of these questions. #RealTimeChem

OK, not normally a Great Big Sea fan, but The Chemical Worker's Song is REALLY good grad school music. #RealTimeChem (Warning: DARK)

Today's science music so far as been:

Stan Rogers - Northwest Passage
Stan Rogers - Barrett's Privateers
"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot

Oddly enough all are cheering me up after a night of anxiety and no sleep.

Recommendations welcome

OK, I've got all the Emission and Excitation data I'm going to use in this paper. I've matched it into pairs and now I just need to remind myself how to use the lamp compensation & normalization spreadsheet... #RealTimeChem

Thinking of putting up a horrible chemistry joke or comic in my tutorial slides this week, I've got extra space on the side I've got up while they file into the room. Suggestions? #RealTimeChem
I've already told them Little Johnny.

I love how I'm taking scientific data for publication and I'm doing it with two outdated computers, a Styrofoam box, and a bit of cardboard I punched a whole into with my knife.

There is a perfectly good system with a modern temperature controller just over there, but that takes a DAY to set up and this old one gets just as good data. #RealTimeChem

#realtimechem update: the squiggles look nice today

#realtimechem @raekh reminded me that stuff I take for granted like being able to take images of molecules is really cool to most people do I thought I would show everyone what I'm up to today.

Right now I'm measuring the fluorescence of of uranium compound I've made. it was intended to be a dangerous gas sensor, but unfortunately it detects water which makes it useless for that purpose.

The upside down styrofoam box is to keep light out of the instrument.

Found this on the new release shelves at the campus library today. Figure it night be some nice fun reading for on the way to Seattle. #RealTimeChem #selfcare

My paper was accepted today. 3D printing of chemical data in parts.

You can read the open access version here: https://chemrxiv.org/articles/Piecewise_3D_Printing_of_Crystallographic_Data_for_Post-Printing_Construction/8233475

Or you can wait for it to appear in CrystEngComm

Ok, today is a REALLY good day! The paper I served as crystallographer on was submitted to ICA today! Does that mean I'm a real crystallographer now? #RealTimeChem #XRD #crystallography

Just submitted the peer review updates on my 3D printing paper to ChemRxiv
https://doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv.8233475 if anyone want to see it. (Well, you can't see the changes until they are approved, but that is only usually a few hours.) #RealTimeChem
