I Love Describing Acid Base Buffers As "they Turn The Extra PH-ey Things Into The Less PH-ey Things."

i- it has come to my attention that some of the journal articles i am citing, for a school paper, sound like tabloids???

examples:

How Enigmatic is Hans Christian Andersen?

Seeing Andersen as He Isn’t

Like bro?

there are some days where i'm like "hell yeah! how many moles of photons do i need to raise a 400 grams of water 5 degrees using a CO2 laser at a specific wavelength? i don't know but i'll figure it out!!"

and then there are some days where I forget how to balance the reaction of sodium bicarb and vinegar...

geoengineering be like:

no one:

absolutely no one:

some random scientist named dr evil: y'know what sounds like a really good idea? froth the fucking ocean, make meringue earth using CO2.

part of the scientific community: huh... y'know, what if we just... tossed a bomb? but like, into the ocean. in the middle of a hurricane. cuz. that works. 100%

another equally ridiculous part of the scientific community that is like 100% white military men: ...okay, but what if we put frickin hydrofluorocarbons into the atmosphere. yes, it will cause warming. we know. we just wanna. play god.

ah, yes.

the sweet, sweet smell of procrastination.

i love that when writing cover letters, i have to keep going back to my resume, going "wait, what skills do i have again? oh right, i can read that kind of graph. let's put that down."

passive voice needs to stop. because sometime i forget how english works and i have like three different clauses in my sentence and i just- can't.

papers are hard.

seriously, it's not even a content issue anymore (i mean, we have those in spades, but that's not the point right now—)

how acknowlegements???? like??? titles??? full names??? what if they're a child, because you're also a child trying to publish something? what do you do then? if someone has a doctorate but did less do you put them first or last in that acknowledgement category??? what???

you ever self-study for something, think you cover all the topics, and then take a practice test and realize that. damn. you know. absolutely. f-ing. nothing.

cuz like yeah same bro.

lysenko is the mansplain manipulate manwhore of genetics and agrobiology.

no, my mind cannot be changed.

having attempted to categorize the various facets of poor response to oil spills as either market, civil society or government, i find myself at a loss trying to explain that... well... nature n the science we observed just... not working in favor of bioremediation isn't really a market failure?????
