All the way from Norway Saskia and I tested thermal receipts from Europe and the US looking for bisphenols.
Turns out soaking them in some iPr is a great way to extract and concentrate them for IR.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
Steve, our tech in the fab shop helped me mount their work for display. This was after an hour long update on the ventilation system for the CNC machine.
It’s definitely cutting edge. 😆
FDA has approved bemotrizinol, its first new UV filter in over 20 years. Already used in Europe and Asia, it could mean better SPF ahead.

get your HPV vaccine series!
As we get closer to the release of How and Why Soap Works I can’t help but see soap everywhere (it’s not that hard).
Communicating science is hard!
A small example:
Unless the soap is alive (which it is not) it would be heathful n not healthy!

BEMT is the first UV filter to be approved by the FDA since 1996
Super proud to have my students work on display at the American Museum of Natural History for Pride Night 6/12.

On an un/related note, I watched Nanny Diaries from 2006 and while the movie is very problematic, the AMNH framing was very cute.
My schedule was a little different. Carboplatin 7 times and radiation 42 times. Photo is me in my head restraint. The lingering side effects are tinnitus and some issues with dry mouth and taste. Still, though, beats having cancer. Treatment was successful and I've been clear since January 2023.
Play dates as an adult include a tour of the uni and playing with the IR

Stop and smell the flowers anywhere but the flower district on a 28th street… we’re walking here!

This year’s course project was reimagining hazard labels.
Students designs seals that communicate hazards across time using alchemical symbols, chemical structures, and IR curves.
With homemade iron gall inks they patterned these onto fabrics.
Thank you @shacorg.bsky.social for the support!
