Every time I have to study electrochemistry something inside me dies. I love chemistry, okay? Truly it's my biggest passion. General, inorganic, coordination, analytical, spectroscopy, thermodynamics? Yes please! Nuclear, kinetics, quantum? Not necessarily my favorite but still cool. Organic? I detested it but I was still pretty good at it. But electrochemistry is the bane of my existence. I hated it in analytical, I hated it in pchem, now I hate it in instrumental analysis. I suppose we all just need to have that one aspect of our beloved field that makes our skin crawl ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

selections from my almost nowhere writing playlist

This morning I took a trip down memory lane and listened to a bunch of my AN playlist (previously described here).

And then I thought, hey, why not say a bit more about it on tumblr? Someone might find it interesting...

CW: Almost Nowhere spoilers, highly questionable musical taste

(More specifically re: spoilers – they're not very specific, and if you haven't read the book they probably won't mean much to you, but OTOH if you haven't read the book then you won't get much out of this post. And they do involve the whole plot from beginning to end. So if you haven't read the book, you almost certainly shouldn't click the readmore.)

First song on the playlist.

This was my standard background music when working on my notes (as opposed to writing the book itself). It's strongly associated in my mind with thinking about the story in a relatively analytical and distanced way, working on conceptual puzzles or plot holes, and that sort of thing.

Third song on the playlist. Like the previous one, most often listened to when doing notes/plotting work.

Mentally associated with the MM, the dominant aeon, and other "cosmic" aspects of the story.

Background music for writing Chapter 13 (first arbitration scene), and also for some occasional later scenes that had the same vibe.

Mentally associated with Azad's feelings about Michael, and with viral/infectious/pathological metaphors for what the anomalings experienced during and after first contact.

Ever since I first came up with the Nowhere-to-Hide event, this has been its "theme song" in my mind.

(The theme song of the actual event/moment itself, I mean, as opposed to all the setup that leads into it, and the various consequences that result from it.)

(Meanwhile, this and this and this – all of which are directly quoted in the book, as songs that the Annes "canonically" listened to – supplied a very different sort of inspiration for the same event.)

Background music for writing Chapter 34, "Everywhen" (following up on each of the main-character NTH Annes after the NTH event).

Strongly associated with that chapter, and with the pleasant summer weather of the week in 2022 in which I wrote that whole sequence of chapters.

I often listened to this (as well as this from the same album) while writing sections of Part 3 involving Anne Eleven.

Background music for writing Chapter 40 (Angelprobes / Stein's Rock).

Strongly associated with the tone and texture of that chapter (which it presumably influenced).

Background music for writing Chapter 46 (with Arthur the raccoon), and associated with the subject matter exposited therein.

(BTW: in my head Arthur was named after Arthur C. Clarke. As for why he's a raccoon, specifically: it's mostly because I just like raccoons, but also in reference to an infamous experience related by chemistry Nobel laureate Kary Mullis.)

The soundtrack that this is from – for some anime called "Date A Live" – came up on YouTube autoplay at some point near the start of time in which I was writing the final 6 chapters, and I ended up listening to it a lot while writing those chapters.

In particular, this 3-track compilation...

...ended up feeling like the "theme song" of that whole final stretch.

Its emotional vibe – of buoyant and vertiginous ascent, of decisive triumph, of unexpected hope – had some obvious effects on various parts of that sequence, and was a perfect match for the intense, elevated mood I was in while I writing it.

I had a little personal ritual of listening to this every time I finished writing a chapter. It was always the background music for getting formatting nuances worked out in the AO3 editor, and for pushing the fateful "Post" button at last.

[did-you-fall-for-a-shooting-star]

ok so this ask is part invitation to ramble/infodump about chemistry stuff and part ask abt why u chose/enjoyed chemistry as ur major (pls idk what to do with my life lol. i like chemistry but idk if its enough to do it like as a career yknow?)

HELLO ANON YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE JUST ASKED FOR

Okay. For starters I actually didn’t go into college with the intent of being a chemist. My original major was secondary education with a focus in chemistry. Aka I wanted to teach high school chem. And that was because of my high school chem teacher, he was amazing and inspired me. I felt like I learned so much in his classes and I wanted to be like him and inspire others

Obviously thats not the route that ended up happening

Throughout my first few years, I got really involved in the chemistry clubs on my campus (ACS, GSE, etc). There was a lot of community in the chemistry department and thats where I made a lot of my friends too. I had people to study with and we helped each other, there wasnt a lot of competition. Once we got to o chem we were all just trying to survive lol.

Meanwhile, in the education department, over the years I grew more and more critical of it. It felt very cold and inhospitable. I barely knew my classmates. It felt more like a job in that it just kinda wore me down. And dont get me wrong! I LOVED my kids. I loved the actual teaching part. It was amazing. I made it all the way to student teaching because of my love for those kids. BUT. After covid hit. The education world got weird. It got too political. Its not about the kids anymore, its about doing whatever administration says. And I just couldnt take it.

A month before I would have graduated, I switched my major. Admittedly, it had been something I was thinking about since my junior year. I had taken analytical and environmental chemistry the same semester and really felt like I found my niche. (Please note here: there is no chemist who is good at all types of chemistry).

I ended up taking a 5th year to finish out a chemistry degree and get a math minor as well. I was really nervous about that decision, but that last year made me feel so much more sure of myself. I took a third analytical class, quantum mechanics, and inorganic chemistry (among other things like biochem). I learned I was *really* good at those things (unlike biochem Im lucky I passed that one). And now I have a job. Doing some instrumental work and data analysis

So I guess my decision to go into chem in the first place is just because the teacher who inspired me happened to be teaching me chemistry (though I was always a fan of science at heart)

As far as liking it enough to make it a career… well… I’ve discovered that I dont think I’m personally going to like anything for 40 hours a week for the rest of my life. And thats probably because Im out of an academic environment now, but yeah. My goal is to be able to have a chemistry job part time. Because full time just kinda makes me dread it. And Im lucky to have things in the works that might let that come to fruition in the next few years, butttttttt. Thats more of a critique on society as a whole than specifically chemistry

Perspective on oligomeric products from lignin depolymerization: Generation, identification and valorization

Lignin depolymerization is playing a pivotal role in transforming the second most abundant type of biopolymer in nature into many valuable chemicals/fuels. This route could directly replace their petrol-based equivalents and therefore presents a great pathway to fight climate change and contribute to future sustainability.

Interpretation of the reaction pathways helps with gaining an insightful mechanic view in understanding the depolymerization chemistry and paving new paths for lignin valorization at the industrial scale. However, such interpretation heavily relies on the state-of-art analytical capability, since in the process there are many oligomeric products formed but not well-characterized due to the limited instrumental analysis choices.

A team of scientists, therefore, summarized the considerable progress in the formation and identification of lignin oligomeric products in recent years. Both the existing and expected potential valorization routes are discussed, and technical hurdles and recommendations are provided in an attempt to catalyze the development of new discoveries and enabling technologies. The work is published in Industrial Chemistry & Materials.
