A classic proof without words showing that

1+3+5+...+(2n-1)=nΒ²

taking advantage of the fact that 2025 is a square and therefore it's the sum of all odd numbers from 1 to 89!

Holiday puzzles = research lessons. For data substitute puzzle pieces!
1) Never discard data. Once you have the full picture, all data fit perfectly.
2) Data that don’t seem to fit anywhere always fit in properly at the end.
3) Start with the easy part and work towards a full understanding…. 1/

Hey #chemsky! The term is almost over and things are winding down. Why not knock 1 more thing off your todo list? Submit your abstract for the main group symposium at #CSC2025 taking place in Ottawa, Canada in June!

Mexican Cartels Lure Chemistry Students to Make Fentanyl Criminals turn college campuses into recruitment hubs, recruiting chemistry students in Mexico with big paydays.

Yikes. "The cartels also have a more ambitious goal: to synthesize the chemical compounds, known as precursors, that are essential to making fentanyl, freeing them from having to import those raw materials from China." One for the #chemsky crowd: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/01/w...

Optimist: the cup is half-full

Pessimist: the cup is half-empty

Polymer chemist: If the cup is biodegradable, what is its Tg and can you half-fill it with hot coffee?
