I think our campus at @OglethorpeUniv is so beautiful! I want to see all of the beautiful places you work or study. Retweet with a picture of your campus!
Asked my P-Chem students about their fave chem class so far and one mentioned an elective I taught because "that is the class in which I became friends with other chemistry majors"
🥲I work really hard to build classroom community so this totally made my day.

It's the first day of classes and because I'm starting my 4th year, it means my very first (Covid) freshmen are now seniors and they've been stopping by to say hi and tell me about upcoming interviews and their summer research and wow, I am so dang proud. 🥹#AcademicChatter

Do not recommend giving exams on back to back days…. Not only has this week been a marathon, but I’ll have a mountain of grading waiting for me on the other side

Recently discovered @examstudyexpert’s excellent podcast which helps students implement evidence-based practices to succeed in class.
Love the angle on this one- packaged as hacks/tips for students, accessible but not oversimplified, and cultivating that growth mindset.

Just assigned episode 74: Creative Ways to Study w/ Practice Problems to GenChem for extra credit on Exam 1. I’m hoping students will take away some of these impactful strategies!
Thanks @examstudyexpert! Learned a few things myself!

So proud of my @OglethorpeUniv students MacKenzie Roberson and Scott Roques for being selected to present their beautiful C. elegans work, as part of my Pipeline CURE collaboration with @SchmeichelKaren, at the Georgia Capitol yesterday. @EmoryMedicine
I wrote 10 letters of rec this semester for students applying for #summerresearch opportunities - an oft unseen part of the job, but if I get to have 9 more conversations like the one I had with a student accepted to his first @NSF REU program, I will be the happiest & proudest.
I have a #HigherEd question for you all:
How long is your add/drop period? Do you feel like it's too long? Too short?
Any other thoughts?

Hung some handwritten notes from students and colleagues on a cork board across from my desk this afternoon. Little reminders for the hard days. ♥️

My CHM 490 @OglethorpeUniv students got to showcase the results of a semester-long #CURE research project at a poster session on Monday and during our final symposium this morning. Very proud of all the growth and of course the #compchem research!

Another thank you to our invited speakers for their great talks! #TCinATL @kamerlinlab @allisonroessler @victorxfung
Excited to give a talk today at @EmoryChem’s Atlanta Mini-Symposium on Theoretical and Computational Chemistry and connect with other #CompChem folks in Atlanta!
In honor of #NationalChemistryWeek and #MoleDay, the chemistry club made and hid moles around our building last night.
When I arrived this morning, I found they had surprised me with a Dr. Roessler mole waiting for me on the handle of my office door! Does she look like me??
First pick in the #ChemNobel draft was a winner!
We attended @cenmag and @AmerChemSociety’s #ChemNobel Prediction Webinar last week as a class and our picks are in!
Here are @OglethorpeUniv’s student picks. We’re excited for tomorrow!
