The Sparge of the Light Brigade

#ChemChat

@martinstoermer.bsky.socialSep 11, 2026, 2:42 PM

How can we work it into everyday speech?

After a long day cycling in the mountains I was completely sparged.

I left my beer out on the balcony in the sun and it got warm and sparged.

Are you ready for next episode of “Fake-Of-The-Day”?

Today is something special - dimagnesium malate.

(Disclaimer: chemists may found the following thread highly disturbing)

An image I made for my quantum mechanics lecture. I hope it gets the point across. #chemchat

Linus Pauling's landmark paper "The nature of the chemical bond. IV...." appeared 94 years ago this month in JACS; it introduced electronegativity. #ChemSky #Chemistry #Chemchat 🧪 Read it here: scarc.library.oregonstate.edu/coll/pauling...

“Sparge” is such a weird chemistry word

I think this is the premise of a Philip K. Dick story

So #chemchat - what other old man stories do you want to hear?

I remember we got a free version of Corel photohouse with a printer we bought. I had a scanner and would scan in hand drawn images, and then use Corel to touch up.

I was so amazed by the technology. The scanner could do 300 dpi for goodness sake

A throwback to a time before social media moved to smart phones.

#chemchat

A cartoon with 9 panels. first panel is a flash column and testube in a fumehood. second panel has a person collecting fractions. third panel, same as the first, fourth panel same as the second. this pattern keeps going - same scene. one without a person, next with a person. Underneath is a feed from "tweetbook" in reverse chronological order where it says "Jimmy is collecting fraction 18......." "jimmy is collecting fraction 17....." "jimmy is collecting fraction "16"....... etc. Back in those days, you had to actually type onto a computer - and noone liked logging into the lab computer. I am imagining this person leaving the lab every time they want to do an update.

Today I'm working in an open plan office. Fortunately I didn't bring fish for lunch. You're not imagining it - fish heated up in the office microwave can indeed smell bad. Read all about it in our piece in @theconversation.com #OzChem #ChemChat

I am taking a harder line on no LLMs for my gen chem class starting tomorrow.

I will not be surveiling my students in any way, but I want them to know that my expectation is for them to not use LLMs in any way for my course.

Would love to hear other #chemsky #chemchat folks approach!

6. Avoiding Generative AI In this class, my expectation is that all of the work you submit (including homework) is done by YOU. Please do not use generative AI/ Language Learning Models for any assignment in my course. In return, I promise that I will never use LLMs/genAI as your instructor. Some ways that you can avoid gen AI: To avoid genAI in traditional google searches use https://udm14.com/Links to an external site. Switch the default search on your computer/phone to DuckDuckGo instead of google. (I personally pay $5 a month to use Kagi, but that is because I rely heavily on a functioning search engine.... https://kagi.com/Links to an external site. More resources on how to avoid intrusive genAI for a variety of settings: https://www.librarian.net/notoai/Links to an external site. ChemLibre is a great resource for chemistry content. Try searching their pages for additional support. Come to office hours! Learning with human experts and peers >>> generative AI. My goal is for you to learn how to think critically as a chemist. Currently, I see no value in LLMs for your education at this stage. To understand more where I am coming from : https://refusal.blog/Links to an external site.

I name my computers after Sonoran desert cacti. Our workstations are named ocotillo, and my cluster is named saguaro. #chemchat

Question I asked @annevazquez.bsky.social: “is there like a thing with people pulling parafilm in labs?” Her response, 100% yes and then she told me how mad it makes her. I don’t really remember, but there’s a solid chance I was one of the people pulling parafilm. #chemsky #chemchat

Well....this was dran 26 years ago. The style has changed - but the anger of glassware is still there.

a cartoon of two round bottom flasks fighting. one looks indignant and has its hands on it's hips. The other is pointing sayinh "oh yeah...well i think you have a big round bottom". I just realised RBFs don't have hips.
