Tape of this Spain team, possessing, moving off-ball, counter-pressing, and breaking lines to set up goals is what you show your players when you coach them up on how to do it right. Inarguably the best team.

Controversy, distractions, absolute howlers on the field, biggest name players not stepping up, and such a poor level of play can’t be overcome. I’ll miss the joy the USMNT put out there against Paraguay, and always wonder what they could have looked like had the last few days been different.

We just watched a legend written in real time. The fearlessness of Cape Verde is the kind of thing you use to teach your kids about belief in themselves. Goosebumps.

Garbage red card. Time to win anyway.

The spectacle of Mexico in the Azteca, where they turn superhuman, in a World Cup knockout match is just unreal. Rivals or not, you can’t help but be swept up in this. Goosebumps.

So did I round up the kids, break out my Battle Cat t-shirt, and have a BLAST watching Masters of the Universe? Yes I did.

Who is the most outstanding university educator that you can think of? Please repost if you can, I would really appreciate it!

Last reaction of the semester before finals in the teaching lab, and I find out that one student’s favorite band is Dio. Me: LIKE A RAIN-BOW!!!!! Been rocking out as a class while doing a bleach oxidation for the last two hours. #chemsky #chemchat

Soundgarden for large scale separations and parallel peptide syntheses at my bench. Metallica when one colleague was cranking high-throughput screening. Grace Potter for another when they purified epoxides. At least we took turns! #chemsky #chemchat inpreparation.substack.com/p/pi-nostalg...

Really thought-provoking: “schools are some of the only places we have left to explore and wrestle with human thought. With our own university leading the charge, AI is now corrupting those few sacred spaces and leaving us with nowhere to engage in true scholarship” www.thedp.com/article/2026...

The Daily Pennsylvanian Editorial Board argues that Penn’s choice to embrace AI is detrimental to the institution of higher education.

My colleague @kmullaugh.bsky.social and our students have done some really awesome things - this is one of them!

My awesome colleague @kmullaugh.bsky.social and several College of Charleston alumni are featured in this article about lab waste / sustainability — check it out! #chemsky #chemchat pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

This was a really cool study to be a part of - the students and as always my colleague @jaygforsythe.bsky.social were brilliant!

Hey #chemsky if you need a break from doomscrolling or a boundary-testing family member this holiday season, check out our new paper in JASMS! We studied how swapping in alpha hydroxy acid residues into a tripeptide affected its tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) behavior.

I’m so excited and grateful for this opportunity for our department. We’ll have our plans advertised here and elsewhere once we get things finalized. Thank you @dreyfusfoundation.bsky.social

Proud this was selected as yesterday’s #ACSEditorsChoice article! Please share with those interested in PUI faculty positions — it is targeted at analytical chemists but hopefully useful to others too. cc: @chemjobber.bsky.social

Excited to be heading to San Diego to represent our lab and @cofcharleston.bsky.social along with my student Jordyn Pieper at the 29th American Peptide Symposium and 15th International Peptide Symposium. Come check out our posters at the Monday session! #Peptides2025 #Chemsky

So proud of Jordyn’s hard work in my lab. We’re really excited for all she’ll accomplish this summer studying peptide folding thermodynamics and so grateful to @organicdivision.org and the SURF program sponsors for this generous support. @cofcharleston.bsky.social #chemsky

Sometimes lab work feels like good therapy and our in current era that’s been true. Combinatorial peptide libraries incoming for a CURE I’m teaching with @jaygforsythe.bsky.social on some collaborative work between our labs and NASA! @cofcharleston.bsky.social #chemsky

Participating in the NSF REU program at UVA cemented for me that grad school in organic chemistry was the path I wanted - I wrote my first applications the week I got back. The experience showed me so much of what I wanted my career to be. This is tragic and shortsighted beyond words.

Polly Fordyce@pollyfordyce.bsky.social · last yr.

My first research experience was because of a summer NSF REU. I learned to code (in FORTRAN 77!) as part of the KTeV high energy physics collaboration. It launched my passion for science & my entire career. Devastating to see this valuable program gutted. www.science.org/content/arti...

“I’m gonna be honest with you Dr G, I slept through class. This is the second time I’ve seen snow in my life and I went skim boarding down a hill and fell a bunch times and I’m really sore. I’ve been playing in the snow all week!” Thank you to this student for sharing some much needed joy. #chemsky

Two lectures down, upper level electives planned, lab course coordinated and ready for next week, advisees advised, new research students in the fold, conference travel scheduled, and collaborations synced up. The new semester’s up and running and it’s been 2.5 days. #chemsky #PUI #ProfLife

It’s been an overwhelming semester, but with a much needed break I got to spend a whole day baking with my kids, and I think we did pretty well. #chemsky #chemistswhocook

This is so cool!
