On this day 81 years ago, countless lives were destroyed when the US military dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. LUMINOUS PURSUIT is Osamu Shimomura’s autobiography. He won 1/3 of the 2008 Nobel in Chemistry for GFP. Osamu and Akemi Shimomura were both survivors of the Nagasaki bomb.

And I’m proud I can say I didn’t use an LLM for any step of this process (Like it’s hard?) 💅🏻

I finished fact checking my book RESONANCE & RADIANCE last night. About 850 facts were checked (13 chapters by me and my friend Stephanie checked my two biochemistry chapters) Even with the help it was about two solid months of my full-time labor to fact check my book.

Finally framed the original Ginsburg my husband gifted me!!! Now I just need to read BESIEGED! #booksky #romancelandia

Also I am obsessed that "fluorescence" was coined in the footnote of Stokes 1852 paper. He was like -- if opalescence can be named after opals, why not name this glowing after fluorspar? And I think that is cool royalsocietypublishing.org/rstl/article...

Album getting me through fact checking today. I’m almost done with the two fluorescence chapters that my friend Stephanie helped me fact check 🥹🥹🥹 Im at 523 facts and counting

Book mail from @manhattanscientist.bsky.social !!! I’m so excited to read your book, Julian!!! I love when #chemsky friends write books! 🩷😍 🫧🧪⚛️🫧

What’s everyone reading this weekend? I started UNREASONABLE WOMEN yesterday. I couldn’t stop & finished it late last night. Grateful I had both audio & ebook on Libby. It’s a book about “criminalized survival”—women who are victims of violence who are convicted when they try to survive. #booksky

Nonfiction science new releases for JULY, 2026! ❓Which of these books are you adding to your TBR? I am currently reading LOST IN CURIOSITY and I hope to read CAPITAL FROM ZERO. #nonfiction #booksky #science 🧪 #sciencebooks #womeninscience #nonfictionscience 🎢

And it is a funny little document because it is a mix of very serious primary sources but then me also checking geography with google maps and then checking calculations and screenshotting excel.

A few of my favorite books that had me seeing the USA differently. ❤️🤍💙 ❓What is a book that helped you learn US American history that you were not taught in school? #booksky #usa250 #july4

I use both. I think goodreads is better as a social to see what your friends are reading and also better to support authors for better or for worse. StoryGraph is nice because of the stats and they make these cute collages at the end of each month which I really appreciate.

Congratulations to all of the DU graduates!! I’m beyond honored that I get to play a small role in so many educations.

Nonfiction science new releases for JUNE, 2026! ❓Which of these books are you adding to your TBR? I’m currently reading CHAIN REACTION & enjoying the discussion of the chemistry of hair relaxers! I’m a New Mexico girlie, so I’d love to read RIBBONS OF GREEN. #nonfiction #booksky #science 🧪

What’s everyone reading this weekend? I’m listening to BAD COMPANY while I’m running errands and it’s infuriating but a must read. 😭🤬 The way the author is focusing on individual narratives from a variety of sectors and then weaving in big picture reporting is really working for me. #booksky

The DISORDERED COSMOS is referenced a lot, which I love. Love that book. And the journey to understanding their own gender is reminding me of HOW FAR THE LIGHT REACHES

I’m thinking about other books that are connected to ENTANGLED STATES. The author’s issues with immigration is reminding me of Katalin Karikó’s struggles in BREAKING THROUGH. The queerness of physics is reminding me of the queerness in math discussed in MATH IN DRAG.

I just started ENTANGLED STATES by Karmela Padavic-Callaghan and I am really enjoying it so far. It is a mix of science writing & memoir centering around three areas of physics: Time, Space, and Interactions. I love this line: "Memories can be built from dirty diamonds."

I found this Microwave shirt at the thrift store so I added it to my lab attire rotation! 🧲💡🌊🙂‍↔️ #chemchat 🧪 #womeninscience

To celebrate our 19 year wedding anniversary my husband and I bought this stunning original Ginsburg that was the cover art of BESIEGED by Laurel Ames. My husband picked this one because he thought it looked the most like us! I thought the #romancelandia & #booksky crowd would appreciate 🥰🥰🥰

IR spectroscopy of plastics/polymers today in my “seeing with chemistry” honors seminar! #RealTimeChem #ChemTwitter

ABBEY ROAD by The Beatles My mom is a huge Beatles fan and I grew up listening to this album (and many of their other albums). I have a renewed appreciation for the Beatles as I am learning the drums. I love Come Together so much!! Really cool song for the drums. Ringo Star was that guy.

brat & brat and its completely different but also still brat I am not exaggerating when I say that I wrote the majority of my book to these two albums. No skips on either of them. Fav on Brat: Sympathy Is A Knife Fav on the Remix: Von Dutch

I am a romantic, and I believe the most romantic album of all time is Kacey Musgrave's GOLDEN HOUR. This album lyrically is genius. The metaphors and double meanings of lyrics are stunnnnnning. Rainbow, Butterflies, and Space Cowboy live rent free in my mind.

EMOTION by Carly Rae Jepsen is perfect to me. This album came out when I had two toddlers and got me through it. Any time I need a pick me up, this album is a go-to! Favorite song: I Didn't Just Come Here To Dance

Speaking of Linkin Park, I am still obsessed with METEORA, and it is my favorite album by Linkin Park. These two albums really defined my high school music taste and were two of the few CDs that I listened to regularly in my 1998 red Chevy Blazer that I bought my senior year of high school.

HYBRID THEORY by Linkin Park I've mentioned this before, but this was the first CD I bought with my own money and hid to listen to when my mom wasn't around Still in the rotation. I love it so much.

For fun, here is a thread of all-time favorite albums that have no skips (in no particular order). GOOD GIRL GONE BAD: RELOADED This album was on repeat in grad school. Back when the entire lab listened to what I was listening to and Breaking Dishes is the best song to wash dishes to LOL.
