Conclusions [to my last scientific paper] 1/6 If I could transport my understanding of basic kinetics forty years back, I would have been a much better synthetic chemist. As a synthetic chemist, selectivities are merely ratios to be optimized, but as a kineticist they are

Hi @Avis in Spain - flat tire. Your rental car has no spare. The roadside assistance guy couldn’t fix it, so he called a truck to take it away. The phone numbers I’ve been given don’t work until Monday. What should I do?

At 9:05 a.m. the Mont-Blanc exploded. The blast wave shot out from the ship at 1 km per second. At the centre of the explosion, the temperature was hotter than the surface of the sun. For a brief moment, the bottom of Halifax Harbour was exposed. 🧵8/18

On this day in 1917, the Mont-Blanc exploded in Halifax Harbour, releasing a 2.9 kiloton explosion. The largest human-made explosion in history to that point, it killed nearly 2,000 people and injured 9,000. Let's learn about this dark day. 🧵1/18
