leaving a three hour lab be like:
what time is it? why is it dark outside? where did the sun go?
I'm starving.
I'm never doing that again (literally has the same lab scheduled the following week).

jokes that are only funny to a specific niche: organic chemists who are also very stupid (it's just me)

Rewatching organic chemistry lectures to prepare for an exam, but instead of taking notes, I’m writing down the weird things my professor says. And so…
An incomplete list of the unhinged stuff my organic chemistry professor has said:
Rule one in organic chemistry: carbon is a working girl. It bonds with basically everything
This is an alcohol. Something quite popular amongst students, I believe
A thiol kinda looks like an alcohol. But alcohols are usually enjoyed, whereas thiols is what skunks use when you’re stupid and unfortunate enough to piss them off. Do with that what you will.
There will come an age when your doctor gets worried about your high cholesterol levels, which often makes people wonder why we even have cholesterol if too much of it is so unhealthy. Let’s say it like this: if suddenly all your cholesterol vanished, your doctor would be pleased but you wouldnt be. You’d be a puddle on the floor.
How to know whether an anion is stable? Rule number one, and I’m sorry to say this, but gentlemen, your girlfriends lied. Because size does matter.
No self respecting scientist uses the IUPAC- naming system. But you still need to know it for the exam. Sucks to be you
An addition reaction is the most romantic reaction in chemistry: two things become one. But romance never lasts, and so just like that, one thing can fall apart into two again
For the exam, the bar is nearly on the floor. Just don’t write anything that is impossible and you’re good. And yet every year there are students who dig beneath the bar and fail anyway
The Sanger reaction was named after chemist Frederick Sanger, who is the only chemist to ever receive 2 Nobel prizes in chemistry. Marie Curie was also a chemist who got 2 Nobel prizes, but one of those was for physics so that’s a bit more complicated. Of course, there’s also the chemist Linus Pauling, who got 2 Nobel prizes as well… but one of them was the Nobel prize of peace and those don’t count

It's cute how everyone has just established carbon as the playboy of the entire periodic table 👁👄👁

Good news on the Recycling Front (recycling the polyester in cotton/poly blend fabrics): recent science.
Yesterday (27 September, 2023) I watched this video: Why you can't Recycle Your Pants (until now). And it gave me a reason to be potentially optimistic.
Summary: Getting into the nitty-gritty of the chemistry science (with molecular diagrams and all), the video host explains why it is so hard to recycle so much cotton/polyester blend fabrics (which is why so many clothes, and other fabrics, end up in landfills).
Basically, in order to recycle polyester (a poly-mer), you have to break it down into a mono-mer, so you can put the bits back together into a new polymer. But in a cotton/polyester blend fabric, we haven't been able to do that without destroying the cotton fibers, and ending up with waste, anyway.
In this video, the host goes through an article from ACS: Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering (17 July, 2023) and describes the experiment of how scientists managed to break down polyester in a cotton blend fabric -- without destroying the cotton.
And then, he tries to replicate their experiment, and (after a couple of tries), appears to succeed -- in his own kitchen, using a cut up tee-shirt and a toaster oven.
This technique has not been scaled up -- yet -- and is not a ready solution -- yet. But it's a big step in the right direction.
