New method for purification. Obtain a leaky column tap, allowing a very small amount of eluent to seep out and voila, you will have crystals appearing on the outside in no time, ready to scrape off #chemsky

Who remembers #OverlyHonestMethods? 😂
Whoever says scientists aren't good at creative writing has never seen me fill out progress reports for my grants.

Spent this morning poking a radio telescope with a stick to diagnose a problem. The best part is, it actually helped.

As one researcher stated in their #OverlyHonestMethods about their study on anti-predator behavior in the bovidae: "Though numerous, Cape buffalo Syncerus caffer were not approached on foot in the interests of completing the study"

Kinda F’d up some #eldercare stuff last week. Made amends, fixed paperwork. Should be ok now. But ugh. Taking care of an extra household is a lot.

This is my favorite method summary ever. Even better than some of the original #overlyhonestmethods

There was one post on the #overlyhonestmethods hashtag back on Twitter years ago, something along the lines of "We couldn't replicate the experiment bc the postdoc who did all the work left to start a bakery." I think often of that one, but with less bemusement these days.

Has been an especially good #figaday. #metadata #overlyhonestmethods
OK so the only actual figure I made today was this sign I waved at speakers during the #TraitsWorkshop2025, but (1) all talks were absolutely excellent, (2) the morning run was predictably spectacular, and (3) my heart is full from #sciencewithfriends. #figaday 4.042/n #year4

The things biologists do for science. The methods section is actually entertaining: "The urine samples came from eight people (factor “Donor,” hereafter) with an omnivorous (six) or vegetarian (two) diet and with a similar number (seven to eight) of bottles per person." #overlyhonestmethods

Listening to @hbhammel.bsky.social:

"We were guaranteed a hundred hours of observing time, as long as we didn't break the telescope. More on that later."

#OverlyHonestMethods ?

(They did not break the telescope.)

I've never been in a lab that stores chemicals under "inert gas" as some recommends. My mother in law uses this commercial Argon to preserve bottles of open wine from oxygenation. Seems cost effective for chemicals that are oxygen sensitive
