Today I'm making electrodes for an enzymatic fuel cell. Enzymes are biological catalysts, they speed up chemical rxns. Some enzymes add or remove electrons from molecules as they do their catalysis. Put these on an electrode and BAM!* you can generate an electrical current.1/3ish

I'm not entirely sad about being inside on a gorgeous day watching videos and reading pop sci articles about about dragons. I've signed on to give a "Science of Game of Thrones" talk at the library. My first venture into pop-culture sci-comm!

One of the lovely things about being the first one into lab is the ability to throw secret one-person early morning dance parties in the office. #Phdchat #Phdlife #BetterThanCoffee #WellNotQuite.#RealTimeChem

Great list!.
First lab meeting for the quarter and we tried something new: I asked my UG students: "What does it take to be a successful researcher? i.e. What do you want to learn?" Here's what they said:.

When your experiment fails for the fourth time, it's time to rethink your approach. #ThinkingOutsideTheBox #FifthTimesTheCharm. #phdchat #phdlife #chemtwitter #gradschool

Judging an elementary school science fair feels a bit like trying to pick a puppy out of a litter. They're all so cute, they work so hard, but they can't all win!

"When you’re talking about pumping electrons directly into your substrate, though, electrochemistry should come to mind.".Kudos to my colleagues that collaborated with the Baran lab on this paper!. #RealTimeChem #ChemTwitter #NoMoreBirchTears .

I had a visitor in my class who is working hard to learn to be the best service dog he can be. 🐶.We discussed service dog etiquette, and how vital it is to not distract working dogs. but I don't think our guest was too interested in limiting reactants. #RealTimeChem #phdchat

A few days late for the big day💘, but a shout out to all the grad school partners out there who are willing to swing by the lab late at night with take-out and still refer to it as "date night." . #gradlife #phdlife #PhDChat #datenight #sciencevalentines #AcademicValentine
