tuesday | may 27

i'm doing this thing in 2025 where i apply for stuff regardless of what i think my chances are. so far i've joined a biochem lab, been rejected from a tutoring job, gotten a place in a group house on campus, and auditioned for my college's dance company.

microdosing on rejection is only going to make the grad school application process easier, so i think it's a net benefit - and if it means i get to have some cool experiences along the way, then so much the better.

scientists in the 1990s, putting a Get More Purple gene attached to a harmless plant virus into an already purple petunia: please get more purple

the petunia, sensing an apparent honest to god Get More Purple Disease, using the previously undiscovered RNAi antiviral ability to shut down all other purple genes along with it just in case: you put VIRUS in petunia? you infect her with the More Purple?? oh! oh! her children shall bloom white! jail for mother, jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!

I accidentally found a great textbook on quantum chem: it's called Quantum Chemistry & Spectroscopy by Thomas Engel (and it's available as a pdf if you just google the title and author) and it might just be the best quantum chem textbook I've ever used. Def recommend it for anyone who's interested. I'm obviously not objective anymore, but I think all you really need to understand it is some basic calculus, very basic linear algebra, and like solid high school math + chem + physics. If I'm wrong you can come shout at me ❤️‍🩹
