Hey, #iTeachChem! Who else will be at @chemed2025co.bsky.social ? Come to my workshop at 2:30 on Wednesday (why is my calendar on PDT??)
Also, why are there so many other talks I want to see during this time slot??

For the evening crowd: I put words to my nagging concerns, which last semester became fully realized fears, about how students use generative AI - despite the very real harms that generative AI has caused and continues to cause.
We have a lot to think about as we write our syllabi.

Hey middle and highschool chemistry teachers,
#iTeachChem folks, if you have students doing investigations and they did a great job, consider helping them submit to the Journal of Emerging Investigators, a great way to learn about scientific publishing!

Another great graphic summary from @makingmolecules.com 🥽 #ITeachChem
Another old #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky 1 pg summary. It continues last week's non-covalent interactions & looks at boiling points & solubility/miscibility. It was aimed at 1st year non-chemists (most of my old students). But it reminds them that these properties are on a scale. Enjoy.
