“It’s just a phase”

“You’ll change your mind”

Geez, I guess I, an adult woman don’t have any idea of my own identity. Oh thank you Carol for helping me find my true self, I’m so grateful :) :) :)

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.” —Stephen Hawking (1942-2018)

Researchers achieve 'Olympic ring' molecule breakthrough just in time for Winter Games

"The exact timeline for designing, discovering and then having your findings peer reviewed is never certain," he said. "Publishing this new synthesis of olympicene just in time for the Winter Olympics is indeed a fortunate coincidence."

As the world’s premier winter athletes were preparing to take to the slopes, rinks and tracks for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games, Florida State University researchers were hard at work making a gold-medal discovery of their own.

More than 7,000 miles away from the snowcapped peaks of PyeongChang, scientists from FSU’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry unlocked a novel strategy for synthesizing a highly versatile molecule called olympicene—a compound of carbon and hydrogen atoms named for its familiar shape.

“An olympicene is a molecule consisting of five rings that resemble the shape of the famous Olympic rings,” said Cottrell Family Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Igor Alabugin. “This new process for synthesizing these molecules offers a unique tool for the preparation of structurally precise carbon-rich nanostructures.”

You know it’s going to be a fun class when on the first day your professor says to come to his office to talk if you start feeling germ-phobic.

When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… grow up. Get a job. Get married. Get a house. Have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better…

The Holocaust began with words – and in the era of the internet & social media, the power of propaganda is more devastating than ever. But education & knowledge can help prevent genocide. http://on.unesco.org/2mvVUkv #HolocaustRemembrance

Scientific Breakthrough Could Lead to Better Antipsychotic Drugs 

Researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Medicine and University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have provided the first high-resolution crystal structure of the dopamine 2 receptor (DRD2) bound to the antipsychotic drug risperidone, which will allow researchers to selectively activate DRD2 limiting the side effects of antipsychotic drugs.

“If we want to create better medications, the first step is to see what the D2 receptor looks like in high-resolution detail when it’s bound tightly to a drug,” said senior author Bryan L. Roth, MD, PhD, the Michael Hooker Distinguished Professor of Protein Therapeutics and Translational Proteomics at the UNC School of Medicine. “We now have the structure, and we’re exploring it to find new compounds we hope can help the millions of people in need of better treatments.”
