Happy Valentine's Day!! Have you ever looked at the periodic table and thought, "This would make a great dating game"?? No??? Take a [quiz] to find out which element you are, and see which elements you can bond with! I made a TON of illustrations for this Doodle. Let me know your otp.

No disease can live if your body has iodine. Now, you’re starting to see why they removed iodine from the soil and food? 🤔

I know I'm late, but I only just knew about the trailers for SH2 remake today, and the comments about Angela and her new model have been really weird and kinda disgusting

I'm not saying you need to like the new model and that it's better, I personally prefer the original in regards to her story, but seeing people try to paint her as being fat or something like that when she just has a fuller face is just so strange? Like why are you so pressed that Angela looks like that anyway? Unlike Maria, her being attractive doesn't serve the narrative (I saw someone say it would make sense for her to be attractive looking bc of her story, which is 1. Gross and 2. Incorrect because anyone can be in her situation regardless of how they look). I know it's just dumbass gamers being dumbass gamers, but it irks me heavily when it comes to this game in particular considering the subject matter of her character.

Iodine bolete (Hemileccinum impolitum)

This chunky boy can be recognised by their bright yellow pores which, along with their flesh, do not immediately change colour when cut (although they may take on a pink or blue tinge after a an hour or so), and their chemical-ey smell, reminiscent of iodine. 

They are edible but not sought after. I ate this one - it was mildly unpleasant!

Chemists succeed in upscaling a common reagent for industrial level applications

The metallic element samarium, when bound with other elements, is an incredibly useful chemical reagent for synthesizing molecules that can lead to new pharmaceuticals. Discovered in a Russian mine in 1879, the element was named after the mineral it was found in, called samarskite, which itself was named after Russian mining engineer Vassili Samarsky-Bykhovets. The most common samarium reagent is samarium diiodide, which consists of one atom of samarium and two atoms of the element iodine. But scaling up this versatile reagent to quantities large enough to be used in industrial settings has proved challenging. "The reagent is air sensitive, so you often have to prepare the solution fresh, right before the reaction," says Caltech graduate student Chungkeun Shin, who works in the lab of Sarah Reisman, Bren Professor of Chemistry and the Norman Davidson Leadership Chair of Caltech's Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.

Fun ways to scare tourists: drink directly from a creek (even better if you get down on your hands and knees to do it).

Eat berries you know are edible in front of them, if they’re city slickers they’ll assume you just ate something poisonous because all berries not in a package are poisonous (this also worked well on my classmates in high school)
