Happy birthday to #biochemist Marie Maynard Daly (1921-2003), 1st Black woman to earn a PhD in #chemistry in the US! She made important research contributions to our understanding of the biochemisty of the cell nucleus & cardiovascular issues & the chemistry of histones & protein synthesis. She established that "no bases other than adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine were present in appreciable amounts" in DNA - #womenInSTEM #BlackInSTEM #histstm #printmaking #linocut #histmed #HeartDisease


Wonderful! I love the runner-up, 'The Scholar's Dream', on browntail moths, to the music of Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFwRMZKODbc

Now it would be a good time for journalists, politicians and *scientists* to set up and use an account on #Mastodon

#postdoc opening at the Hsu lab at Virginia Tech - a wonderful group:

The project is the design of an advanced biodegradable menstrual product that aims to locally provide pain relief with antimicrobial properties. We are looking to immediately hire a postdoc, preferably with experience in #polymers , #biomaterials , #chemistry , engineering, etc. It is currently funded by the Commonwealth Health Research Board. More details can be found here:

An extraordinary pharmaceutical #chemist to celebrate for #BlackHistoryMonth - Alice Ball (1892-1916) who developed 1st effective treatment for #leprosy. Her research saved 1000s from exile & painful, ineffective lifelong treatment for leprosy, & she was a trailblazer for both women & Black scientists.⁠

Ball studied #chemistry at UW earning a BSc & 2nd degree in pharmacy 2 years later.

Happy birthday to Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier (1758 – 1836) who worked closely with her husband Antoine in the lab, modernizing and quantifying #chemistry and the scientific method, recognized and named oxygen and hydrogen, explained the role that oxygen plays in combustion, helped modernize chemical nomenclature and discovered that mass is conserved in chemical reactions. Traditionally Antoine has been called the "father of modern chemistry" (with little to no mention of his wife)

I just learned ⬇️ that a recently deceased Professor Emeritus of #Chemistry at my alma mater #McMasterUniversity , Ian Spencer, was also saved by the #Kindertransport before #WorldWar2 .

In our many fascinating conversations, and exhausting squash games, he never mentioned it. He was a real mensch! 🪦

Hi! #introduction ! I'm a #phd student in #chemistry ! I study #nanoparticle #liquidcrystal self-assembly, which has implications in our understandings of #biology nanostructures, #materials chemistry, and #nanotechnology

I’ve been #scicomm ing my #research on #twitch - I'm developing #3dprinting inks from seaweed and other #biomaterials !

I interview scientists weekly, so if you're interested, let me know! I’d love to have you
