Oh (S)-2-Butanol, we’re really in it now.

grading is so stressful sometimes like haiosfhasdf im trying so hard to understand what they're attempting to say but sometimes they make it so hard </3

Yeah Schrodinger's cat was him trying to make fun of quantum mechanics but if he wanted to properly display the absurdity it wouldn't just be "can't know if a cat in a box is alive or dead unless you open it" but continue on to add "and once you do automatically whatever result is in this box, the opposite is in a box on the other side of the planet"

type-moon fans will dig up years old posts of someone talking to themselves and write an essay in excruciating detail that two vehicles are different while being insanely condescending about it even if the entire concept is so irrelevant to the story

Want to see the July page? Of course you do!

Transcription: "The genus name for water lilies, Nymphaea, was inspired by the nymphs of Greek and Latin mythology. All water lilies are toxic in almost all their parts, yet many cultures around the world have devised ways to process them for use as food or medicines.

Water lilies contain numerous active organic compounds including one or more of the class of terpinoid thioalkaloids called nuphar alkaloids, such as (+)-6-hydroxythiobinupharidine (shown), a potent inducer of cell death (apoptosis) in mammalian cells. It has eleven chirality centres. The class is notable by the unusual presence of a sulfur atom."

Every Christmas my uncle gives us all a calendar he's had printed with the best photos he's taken every month of the previous year, and he puts all the usual holidays in it, but because he's a huge nerd (affectionate) there's also stuff like this:

Last year it was the birthdays of long-dead relatives he'd been researching, and I recall previous years having notable events in mountain climbing or arctic exploring history.

I love the calendars and look forward to them every year.

It's usually even simpler than that: most enzymes are just little tunnels that the substrate get stuck inside of in a specific way that hold the weakest parts of a molecule out to be smashed by passing water molecules like one of these anime set ups until they break in half from being unable to properly flex

The way processes are simpler and more physical the smaller you investigate them is funny to me. Dissolving something with an enzyme sounds so special but at the molecular level it's just plain wrecking and smashing stuff

Making you all look at my to do list for tomorrow as accountability so that I have to get it done

I am trying to cope with life soooo hard I’ve gone back to school LOL
