Old Wintec. I ride in the rain so synthetic is more practical than leather. It does squeak a bit though…

Buncha 19 year old girls are gonna learn the hard way that financial independence is important when they're stuck in shitty marriages and have no ability to enter the labor market and support themselves.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

This is awesome! The sign at Trump’s Doonbeg, Ireland golf course has been vandalized to remove the “T”. I barely had time to snap the photo as we drove past. Gotta love the Irish!

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully.

You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers.

Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

In the U.S. in 1825, *452* out of 1000 children born died before their 5th birthday.

By 1925, that number was 135 out of a 1000 children.

Today, in 2025, that number is *7*

And it is entirely due to advances in medicine, public health, and technology.

They won’t hate you. My younger one understood—she went on to get a PhD in P Chem. Actually, the older one understands too. She has kids of her own and a full time tech job. Everyone turned out just fine, including me. 😉

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has made an appearance at the Final Four championship game, despite fans claiming that when the Texas senator attends the game for the team he is rooting for, they are "cursed" and lose the game.

Amid the chaos, science goes on and education goes on. Meet the two newest PhDs from my group: Dr. Atul Chaudhary and Dr. Bishwaprava Das! #ChemSky

Probably unpopular opinion: but by boycotting, you are doing exactly what they want you to do — isolating those of us who are still fighting the good fight and cutting us off from scientific interactions that would benefit us all.
