Transitions!

Hello from Colorado State, everyone!

After making the transition to grad school, I’ve decided to keep the blog going, now focused on Colorado! As always, please feel free to submit your own experiences, I want to hear from your own grad schools (my former classmates), from home sweet home (those still at WM), and from wherever you are doing chemistry (y’all random followers who I love so much).

Happy reading, happy learning, and happy science-ing!

Parting ways with all of your chem buddies

You people have been the light of my life for the past couple years, and are truly irreplaceable. Thanks for keeping me going all this time, and let’s meet again on the road/reaction coordinate ahead.
