Among the NIH grants affected by Trump’s fund cutting edict are research grants at Dartmouth and cash-starved UNH. A judge’s restraining order halting the cuts isn’t in effect in NH because our GOP AG didn’t join 22 other AGs in the lawsuit. indepthnh.org/2025/02/14/o...
Op-Ed: Trump cuts funding for lifesaving research.
I am talking about dollars and cents here, not damage to our nation’s dignity, ethics or reputation as a reliable ally. That damage may be incalculable and may be everlasting.

I just came across this simulation, which shows the factors affecting the nature of the bond between two atoms (ionic/molecular/metallic) so well! #iteachchem
Chemistry Simulation: Electronegativity
The Electronegativity simulation allows students to explore the variety of factors that affect the nature of the bond between two atoms. The positioning of the valence electrons involved in the bond i...

I love using the Men in a Well model to introduce patterns of electron energies, before using Bohr models. It starts with actual data instead of abstract theory, and when students see how the model connects to the periodic table, it's a huge 'lightbulb moment.' #ModChem #ITeachChem
#IteachChem 🥽 Chemistry and art: Students are investigating the effect of pH on dye color. I’m obsessed with the bright orange from annatto seeds!

“I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous.” - Haim Ginott

it's the Lena Blackburne rubbing mud article I've been waiting for 😍 "we perform a multiscale investigation of the rheology and tribology of this mud material under baseball-relevant conditions and identify three mechanisms by which the mud alters the surface properties of the baseball"
Soft matter mechanics of baseball’s Rubbing Mud | PNAS
Researchers looking for sustainable materials with optimal mechanical properties may draw inspiration from a baseball tradition. For nearly 100 y, ...
