A friend asked, "you being a scientist, what is something you want me to know as someone who hasn't taken science since high school?" First things that came to mind were: 1) Everything is made of chemicals 2) Dose makes the poison 3) "Not detected" depends on the detection limit

This is one of the most poignant signs I've ever read in my life, to be installed at the former Okjökull glacier in Borgarfjörður, Iceland by scientists and the Icelandic Hiking Society. Our children should not forgive us if we fail. news.rice.edu/2019/07/18/los… [via Daniel Stewart]

Everyone knows quartz NMR tubes are single-use, right? Right? 😅 #NMR
