so what would be the equivalent of triphenylphosphine winning our phosphine competition way back in the day
1. This is really cool, great idea
2. Who came up with these reaction choices, my sophomore organic text?

Opinion: One Less Lane Ought To Fix It — Streetsblog USA
Federal inaction means states must lead on reducing emissions — but their reluctance to reallocate road space for cars may doom climate goals.

E-Bike Injuries Are Up 1,800%, But It's Not Actually E-Bikes: It's Electric Motorcycles
The vehicles causing a recent spike in injuries and worse aren't e-bikes. Here’s why, our solution, and how to differentiate an e-bike from an e-moto.

It has a 5L reservoir for feed water, fine. It refills itself via its own pump and tubing, fine.
IT DOESN’T TOLERATE ANY FEED LINE PRESSURE. YOU HAVE TO USE A FORKING BUCKET INSTEAD OF PLUMBING IT.

Did not imagine that I would experience 3 lab moves in 2025 🫠. At least I’m certain this is the last one!
I especially did not expect to do the packing of our chemical inventory 3 times 🙃, but proud that our only loss (so far) was a premixed polymerase that went at 4°C not -20. #chemchat

Do you know of a small creator/artist/illustrator/photographer that makes calendars? I like to have a unique office calendar and desk calendar, obviously safe for work is a requirement.

Tuesday: Community Council forum on ‘scooter public safety’ + It’s time to take bike and scooter share seriously
Seattle was the first major and lasting launch city for Lime back in July 2017, and the city has continued to be one of the company's strongest markets globally. In the last year (November 2024 through November 2025), Lime and Bird reported an astounding 10.3 million trips in Seattle, according to SDOT's data dashboard (96% of those trips were on Lime).
