Spent a whole day doing outreach at an elementary school. Take home lessons: 1) students LOVE science in early grades, 2) school teachers are underpaid, under resourced, and undervalued. We have to do better to support them.

Mood shirt today, IYKYK. If you don’t know (!): Disney+ -> Bluey -> Unicorse

Thanks NC State Sciences and ESPECIALLY Dr. Jamila Simpson for creating a community where ALL students can thrive. Big congrats to Arana and Jada!!! I’ll make sure to bring a bag next year for the awards NC State Chemistry students win! CONGRATS!!!

One of my favorite pictures even though I didn’t get his eyes open! ⁦TrippTracy⁩ just stopped and talked to us for more than 5 minutes about Alexander Semin (this was 2014). ⁦Carolina Hurricanes⁩ have the best people in their organization. Let’s Go Canes!!

I regret the decision to pie one of my students considering that I signed up to be pied next Monday!! At least I don’t have much hair to get whip cream stuck in!

Ample leg room they said…..

So which shirts will sell faster, the Carolina Hurricanes “Bunch of Jerks”, or the better be coming soon NC State Football “Tell Steve Smith ….he can kiss my ass” shirts? Don’t mess with a pack of wolves, we’re family.

Following up a day of eating with leg day today…..ugh. Thanks to Robert Huigens for unknowingly having me do an extra super set. Thought about stopping early and thought, “What would Big Rob do?” More deadlifts, that’s what. Thanks (?) #ChemistsWhoLift

Happy holidays everyone! What does it mean if you get a wind turbine in your stocking? Is that better than coal?

Always great to get a chance to hang out with our undergraduate students NC State Chemistry Hanging out on the stairs in Hunt Library!
