Got our first R01 submission out today! A big thanks to my group for help and patience, Anne M. Brown Brown at VT Libraries and VT Biochemistry for being an awesome collaborator, and Tom Bell in Virginia Tech Chemistry for tolerating my mistakes and guiding me through. Here's to making triage!🍻

My purse or my glovebox? So in an emergency my purse can double as #PPE for a pyrophoric? Good to know! (Is a glovebox technically PPE? #chemistryproblems) Must I wear goggles to consume? I have none in my purse 😕Somehow, I am disappointed that there's no SOP on the package too.

Chemistry nightmare last night. We were driving around looking for synthons and got stuck in a flowerbed. Finally found one filled with helium that kept floating away as we tried to wrestle it into the car. Anyway, the grant is submitted. How's your week been? #chemistryproblems

Everyone hard at work in the Group Lowell lab in the Virginia Tech Chemistry! Way to go everyone with your #ppe!

What’s your science? #ShareYourScience

Meant to give this sparkling apple juice to my daughter for her birthday yesterday. Don't forget about your basic chemical principles (or about bottles in the freezer!). #facepalm #badchemist

🚨🚨 The first research article from our lab is now published in Polymer Chemistry ! Congrats to our graduate student, Tiffany, and her undergraduate, Alex! Go read about the synthesis of poly(bicyclohexyldimethylene terephthalate)!🚨🚨 Virginia Tech Chemistry Virginia Tech Science pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
