Biophysical chemist, NMR spectroscopist, vision researcher, plant enthusiast, enzyme hunter. I stage tiny, elaborately choreographed musicals starring nuclear spins. Lab website: probemonkey.com
My hand-dyed gift bag from @romancingthevote.com is ready to fulfill its destiny.
My workshop prep is going great! Only a little bit of chaos. Come make your own coils with us at the Rocky Mountain conference!
Hey, @romancingthevote.com , I have important info for our dragon winners and potential second chance recipients: like many animals, dragons have UV receptors and this region of the spectrum is part of their intraspecies communication. They look different under UV light. Some are phosphorescent!
I am looking forward to being done with these. The tree supports are hollow, and when the print head moves over them, it makes a sound like the moans of the damned. Anyway, come learn how to build NMR stuff! It is fun and not at all cursed.
In addition to printing Democracy Dragons for voting rights, I am printing supplies for our NMR instrumentation workshop at the Rocky Mountain Conference.
Happy July 4 from the Democracy Dragons! If you win one of these Dragon Army Eggs, these colors are in the mix. www.32auctions.com/organization... This auction for @romancingthevote.com is supporting voting access.
I 3D printed these organizers for HRT supplies for @romancingthevote.com . There are two versions, testosterone and estradiol. The molecule is on both sides. They work for diabetes supples, too. I wanted to do something chemical, and it was fun figuring out which molecules people might relate to.
You will still get 25, but you can choose how many are rainbow and how many are Sparkle Goth. And if you win one of the bigger eggs, these will be in the color mix.
From the department of “do we not live in a society?” This is in the lobby of a reasonable nice hotel.
Do you need rainbow dragons, or a rainbow of dragons? RtV is here for you, starting July 1.
Why on earth is there a tribute to Trent Reznor concert at the Nixon Library? Cursed event.
If you come to the probe workshop at the Rocky Mountain conference this year, you can make your own transceiver coil, measure its magnetic field profile, and take it home in a fancy box. rockychem.com/conference/s...
I have been seeing ants in the bathroom for the last few days. This morning, this little buddy set up shop to take care of that for me.
Who thought this ad was a good idea? It’s obviously some kind of evil tentacle monster (not a good ocean tentacle monster!) engulfing the planet.
On the topic of 3D printing and nerdery, do you think anyone would want anatomically correct protein models, or is that too niche? Here’s green fluorescent protein with the fluorophore in the Protopasta quantum dot filament. I can also imagine doing insulin or GLP-1s.
On the topic of US universities having lots of fantastic research: This is one of 3 undergraduate research poster sessions at my mid-size state university today. We need 3 sessions to fit everyone in.
This is not a critique of Chef Kenny’s fine BBQ sauce, but dogs of any size are not known for culinary excellence.
@peculiarityshop.bsky.social if you have time, could you tell me about sea sediment jasper? I googled it and some sources say it is always a composite stone and others say sometimes it is natural. I like it either way, I’m just curious. Thanks!
Yes, but hear me out: My favorite faculty profile pic is the one where I brought a probe with me and refused to put it down for one single shot, so they had to use it on the website.
