Blessed are the Analytical Chemists

It's probably blasphemy, grab some goggles and a test tube or two, let's all go together... (also if you need me to tag anything or have questions please let me know)

And David said unto barium 141, From whence comest thou? And it said unto him, Out of the uranium fission reaction am I escaped.

[science-jesus]

Submit yourselves therefore to research. Resist the cherry-picked conclusions, and they will flee from you.

[science-jesus]

And the conclusions of Kish’s reaction were lost. And Kish said to Saul his assistant, Take now all of the measurements with thee, and arise, go seek the conclusions.

[science-jesus]

For the NMR Spectrometer is come to identify that which was created.

[science-jesus]

So Michal let hydrogen down through a tube: and it went, and popped, and escaped.

[science-jesus]

And the metals were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he used his electromagnets.

Hello! It’s been a while! I’m going to try and do more with this blog because it was really fun and relaxing for me, I got way stressed out by finishing my postgrad course and starting to do real life things, so I let this slide, but I’ve already started putting new things together :)

[science-jesus]

I can do everything through those who give me funding.

He is risen!

Helium is lighter than air, therefore it is usually rising, on this planet, at least.

Wishing you all a merry time spent cooling your superconducting magnets, Helium fans :)

who to fight from the history of science

James Watson: You should definitely fight Watson. If anyone deserves a swift punch in the teeth is Jim Watson. you will win and be doing a service to society

Francis Crick: You should fight Crick. you will probably win if you’re just fighting Crick, but if he double teams with Watson, your odds decrease, but you should fight him anyways

Rosalind Franklin: Fighting Franklin will make Watson and Crick feel vindicated so you should definitely not fight her also you will lose

Lise Meitner: Why would you want to fight her? Fight Otto Hahn instead

Isaac Newton: You will lose, because while Newton looks like a classic nerd he fights dirty and will probably hit you with a telescope

Albert Einstein: depends on which version of einstein you fight. if it’s special relativity working in the patent office einstein you will definitely lose. if it’s late career einstein you can win by distracting him with quantum mechanics

Paul Dirac: Dirac will destroy you and probably come up with some new and interesting quantum theory while doing it

Erwin Schrödinger: you have an equal probability of wining and losing a fight with schrödinger until you actually fight him. be warned that he is wily and might try to distract you with his cat

Gilbert Lewis: you will definitely lose a fight with lewis. he will take out all his frustrations about never winning the nobel on you

Antoine Lavoisier: you will beat him if you’re just fighting him but he will likely send his wife to fight you instead and she will kick your ass

Marie Curie: do you really want to fight a polish woman covered in radium? do you?

Charles Darwin: will throw a turtle at you and run away to his birds. do not fight

Werner Heisenberg: You can only know the speed or the location of a heisenberg left hook, but if you always pick the location you will win

Gregor Mendel: DO NOT FIGHT GREGOR MENDEL HE WAS A CATHOLIC MONK HE WILL DESTROY YOU BOTH PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY

[science-jesus]

Robert Oppenheimer: Has nukes, is become death, avoid.

Annie Jump Cannon: Name suggests acrobatic ability and also possession of artillery, maybe don’t fight...?

Nikola Tesla: Don’t fight Tesla, maybe offer him a cup of tea or something, or just leave him be, he’s not too into human contact.

Joseph Lister: Clean hands, ask him who Ignaz Semmelwies is and then use his distraction to your advantage.

Thomas Huxley: Fight him, but be sneaky about it, dude’s got a temper, don’t let him engage you in a debate.

and a reminder- please fight James Watson.

[science-jesus]

Crick: *can't find Watson at a crowded party* this calls for drastic measures

Crick: *uses hands as megaphone* WE SHOULD HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED ROSALIND FRANKLINS CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR SOLVING OF THE STRUCTURE OF DNA!

Watson: *from other side of the room* whAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY???

Crick: There he is

Silly little picture I drew a few days ago. Don’t ask how much glassware i’ve been washing at work.

So, Tim Hunt resigned from his post at University College London. In an interview on Radio 4 he said he didn’t mean to cause offense, but he “did mean the part about having trouble with girls“

Women in STEM fire back at Nobel laureate who thinks they’re too distracting

72-year-old British Nobel laureate Sir Tim Hunt has a distinct opinion about female scientists’ role in the lab: Namely, that they are distracting, emotional and shouldn’t work alongside men. Thankfully, Vagenda and others on Twitter are here to show him how wrong he is.

[discoverynews]

Nobel Prize winner Tim Hunt told a room full of journalists that the trouble with “girls” in the lab is that “they fall in love with you and when you criticize them, they cry.”

Wait, what?

[science-jesus]

adventuresinchemistry, I don’t have an actual cat or proper science goggles, but this is Engineer Cat, she’s totally badass.

The young lions wear their goggles, and seek affection from scientists.
