Don't you have an IRL chemistry job?

Don't you have an IRL chemistry job?

my job personally? not really, i have ended up on the business side of things. i work in materials management as an analyst.

the science and engineering behind everything we do is basically biochemistry though, so having that background is beneficial even on the business side of things. some people i work with have to learn all that stuff on the job while i did most of it in school (such as running a chromatography column and how the bioreactors work and such)

also a lot of my friends from school were also in chem e or biomanufacturing and work here on the technical development side of the company so i stay fresh on a lot of the chemistry and biology problems they deal with since it interests me

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I ****ing love genetics though

And astrophysics.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i also liked genetics a lot

and microbiology

Are you as excited as I am that they might find Element 120 in Dubna? Chem was always a distant third for me behind maths and physics, but it still interests the hell out of me.

meh, that wont be terribly relevant to biochem or organic so not really

stuff at the high end of the periodic table may as well not even exist as far as i am concerned

Fair enough, but it is still new material and the cool thing about Unbinilium is that it technically shouldn't even exist according to the current periodic table. I get that you're into organic, so most likely your two favorite elements are Carbon and Hydrogen, but just the thought of people finding new matter excites me.

I forget the exact quote, but I remember Glenn Seaborg said something along the lines of he'd rather have an element named after him (which he did, while he was still alive, which is pretty cool) than win a Nobel Prize.

I usually don't like the ugly Christmas sweaters, but they did a good job with that one.

I hope I get it in time for Christmas. Fanatics offers crazy shipping to all over the US, but only does gross ground shipping to Canada iirc. I will wear it to work.

I have a new cell phone

Hey Dave, Stedman Bailey was shot in the head twice, he's in stable condition now.

Jesus, what the hell?

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

apparently the driver of the car they were in got shot multiple times while he was trying to shield some kids. he's in life threatening condition, but i hope he pulls through. what a hero.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Buying a Christmas present for a very private person is an impossibility. Every response to every question is "I don't know" or "Don't worry about it."

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

I like to give money. Giving money is like giving the gift of choice.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

It's my younger brother. Sibling instinct prevents me from giving him money, even as a gift.

How much younger? Like is he in College yet? My mom is like the most hardcore Christmas person ever and starts bugging me in like October about what I want and I'm kinda like your brother in that I never know, so my fallback for anyone who doesn't know what I want themselves, is to get me ECU stuff. Last year mom and dad got me this pretty sweet spread:

Maybe you could do something similar?

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I'm leaning toward getting him some T-shirts from some cartoons that I know he likes, but he's one of those people that's really self-conscious, and I know that even if he likes the cartoon and likes the T-shirt, he won't wear it in public for fear of being judged.

 

[the halleJOKEL]
