I remember this great talk by a retired chemist in grad school about design of experiments stuff, and then he said "I have here a pamphlet with my mathematical proof for the existence of God of anyone wants to take a look" and I was like 'ya lost me there'

wonder if this is true for retired scientists

Think about how for decades, one of the ingredients of a crackpot was: retired engineer.

Retired engineers, for *generations* have been a fertile ground for crackpot theories in everything.

They get that golden watch and bam, incoherent manifesto about quantum archeology inbound.

I'm not one of these business-y a-holes who says "I miss the lab", but man, reading Derek's experiments with MOFs, it does sound like more fun than sitting in front of two screens 9 hours a day www.science.org/content/blog...

Someone reposted these yesterday and I realized that it wasn’t tagged #chemjobs (and neither was this post) so I couldn’t find it.

I know they’re internships but I want to get the word out since I am sure academic and government funding will still be borked in 2026

One of the approximately 23 million bad things about the Trump era is the continual eroding of granting of good faith to government intentions. I am always suspicious of government, but I am REALLY suspicious of this Administrsation.

This was my first MOF paper, and the first paper I published with Omar and Fraser.
(I published a second first author paper with both of them in JACS the next year on CO2 sequestration)

I dined out on these papers for so long.
