I made my Mirror World class some bling out of 6mm glass tubulation. We can all laugh and be shiny together now. I actually didn't make myself one though. I guess I can make it tomorrow. I bent it to my handwriting in cursive with a 6mm sharpie :) . lol happened to be an easy an fun 3 letter phrase that flows nicely.

I sure do love mirroring a bunch of little tubes simultaneously :)

I gotta get a few feet of bright colored silicone or latex tubing. They are meant to be necklaces. They may be fragile during hugs.

Its been nice to teach these classes with Kacie Lees in the evenings and decompress from the hectic week finishing up neon work things ahead of an upcoming midwest road trip! Class and show in Minneapolis and visiting artist 2 day at UW, Madison.

We mirrored so much. Its so fun seeing people get it- and run wild with it.

My challenge of the day: unlock a glass joint on the Rotavap without a) destroying the cooling unit or b) cutting myself. After many attempts with the sonicator and various solvents (acetone, ethanol, hexane), the heat gun finally did the trick. #chemistry #lab

the Saruhashi Prize for Japanese women researchers for excellence in science & mentoring women scientists.

The story goes that her interest was sparked in science watching raindrops in primary school, wondering about the source of rain. Her parents believed in education, but she had to make a case to leave a secure insurance job at 21 to study #chemistry. Her family witnessed how women struggled to support themselves without husbands or fathers in wartime. 🧵2/n

@SocraticEthics The #BrainDrain from #Hungary to the #UnitedStates during #WorldWar2 and the following #ColdWar catapulted #American #Mathematics and #ComputerScience (John Von Neumann…), #Chemistry (George Olah…), #Nuclear #Physics (Leo Szilard…) to become the undisputed world leader in #science and #technology.

That brain drain resulted in the Russia-aligned country full of morons that you see today.

#DonaldTheDeplorable is also a #Putin puppet and starting a brain drain FROM here.

The Guardian: Unearthed notebooks shed light on Victorian genius who inspired Einstein. “He was a self-educated genius whose groundbreaking discoveries in the fields of physics and chemistry electrified the world of science and laid the foundations for Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity nearly a century later. Now, the little-known notebooks of the Victorian scientist Michael Faraday […]

Besides being informative & interesting, the #Thoisoi2 channel is a bit of a study in what voice #AI can & can't do.

As far as I can tell from inflection & tone he's using an AI trained on his own voice to improve on his Russian (?) accent & about 80% of it does sound like he's had some dialect coaching. Unfortunately the remaining 20% is various degrees of gibberish due to weird pauses, inflections & missing words & his audience seems to hate it.

Amazing!

How a young uneducated Michael Faraday became a world changing scientist and strove to help others be inspired the way that he had been himself.

And his detailed, intricately illustrated notebooks are going online shortly.

Since nothing makes sense anymore, let's start with numbers 3 & 3.5. 😅 I'll try to give a brief summary of the chemistry, including links and visual aids before moving onto how I think it could relate to being an activist.

Spoiler: My main takeaways are positive & encouraging.

"#3. activation energy for a chemical reaction
#3.5 enzymes as catalysts

Activation energy is the amount of energy you have to add to a system to cause a reaction to occur. (The positive change that you are trying to bring about in the world.)

Spontaneous reactions don't require this activation energy, but you usually won't observe this reaction unless you add new chemicals because everything that can react (at the present temperature) has already done so & the system is at an equilibrium.
