@vancew just arrived!
@vancew @bissette @heydebigale She makes lots of really great chemistry-themed items. I have a number of coasters and magnets.
@freckled Now let's see if this works :)
Hi @vancew and @EveryWhereChem ,
mind giving @freckled a boost?
After a couple of days on #Mastodon I’m very impressed & excited to be part of this growing community! #mastodonmigration
My only humble suggestion is that it needs more #tardigrades aka "water bears."
Tardigrades have survived every mass #extinction on Earth since they evolved about a 1/2 billion years ago. There are ~1,300 known species. And millions of years from now, they won’t even notice we’re gone.
I’m a sucker for products that use molecules on their labels— assuming they don’t mess up the structure! #chemistry #molecules #sciart
💡This idea and template is from @cosullivan
#Introduction
👾To help some of the newcomers make connections: name subjects and topics that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same
🎲Here are some of my interests:
#sciart
#materialscience
#chemistry
#scicomm
#liquid_crystals
#microscopy
#higher_education
#organic_chemistry
#science_education
Let's hope that we can get something of a chemistry community here, without the distractions that are present on quite some other social media sites.
The character limit being 65535 is a good sign already.
A bit about myself: I’m a Professor in the chemistry Department at Simon Fraser University. My research focused on supramolecular chemistry, self-assembly, liquid crystals and photochemistry. I also post a lot of #sciart based on polarized optical microscopy:
