The Maple Shekel: October 2011

A scientist finds herself first in the Holy City then in Music City. Monday, October 31, 2011. Guest Post for James. On James' blog he sometimes has guest posts from survivors of orgo courses. So I wrote one. Like a good husband he humored me an read it, but I don't think he'll post it. So I'll post it here. (Oh and Joel, I'm still thinking of one for your blog). Since you seem to like getting stories about people surviving orgo, I thought I'd tell you mine. You know what it was like? Just when I had giv...

The Maple Shekel: October 2012

A scientist finds herself first in the Holy City then in Music City. Monday, October 29, 2012. Law and Order takes a Commerical Break. So I went to the court house. Met my lawyer. He handed in my Citation and I waited with all the other sheep to be booked. I could hear the conversations around me and it was clear that no one EVER did anything that was their fault. While I was waiting, the security guard in awe asked "Is that your attorney? Apparently my google-fu worked out. Thursday, October 25, 2012.

A scientist finds herself first in the Holy City then in Music City. Tuesday, February 25, 2014. I had to give up choir tonight and it almost put me in tears. Untenured professors aren't allowed to have fun, I guess. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to my life, dear reader. After a crazy adventurous post doc in Jerusalem, I have now taken on the crazy adventure of being a new professor in the American South. Funny little things keep happening to me! I had to give up choir tonight and it almost put m.

A scientist finds herself first in the Holy City then in Music City. Thursday, March 5, 2015. To my husband on inviting people to Saturday AM breakfast at our house. With your support I just said No to a massively important family event because the baby will be only 3 weeks old. I feel like the biggest jerk ever. But I realize, I need to be saying no more often.

The Maple Shekel: A letter to a student
http://themapleshekel.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-letter-to-student.html
A scientist finds herself first in the Holy City then in Music City. Tuesday, August 5, 2014. A letter to a student. You seem like the kind of person who needs a reminder every once in a while. So I decided to write you this email restating the things we talked about so you can re-read it when you get intimidated and need to refocus. And 2) they are a bad teacher. Are you satisfied with your depth of understanding of them and your depth of knowledge? I can remember in my senior year my chem academic advi...

The Maple Shekel: David
http://themapleshekel.blogspot.com/2014/05/david.html
A scientist finds herself first in the Holy City then in Music City. Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Our friend David drove all the way from Rohovot to visit us after work on Wednesday. I am grateful to his wife Galia for looking after their two kids so he could come for a visit. It seems like yesterday we were going to their wedding and David was walking up to the hoopa with a big silly grin on his face. Alex showed off his new trick for David which he had figurerd out only minutes before he arrived: clapping.

The Maple Shekel: Picnic
http://themapleshekel.blogspot.com/2014/05/picnic-and-beach.html
A scientist finds herself first in the Holy City then in Music City. Friday, May 16, 2014. I also took a photocopy of the infamous reaction where I first go the nano-stars of David. I will use it a teaching tool of how much detail should go into your experimental sections. ESPECIALLY when doing exploratory chemistry. I have a complete, but rather brief write up for the reaction and I paid for my brevity with a year of my life, trying to reproduce that beast. And I love him for it. I am busy, so the posts...

The Maple Shekel: September 2011
http://themapleshekel.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
A scientist finds herself first in the Holy City then in Music City. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. The problem with distinctive clothes. When my first pay cheque came in last month, I went shopping for some work appropriate clothes and in one short visit to the TJMaxx, got three shirts. My favorite of them, I have worn it exactly twice. It is extremely distinctive, funky and makes me look far more sophisticated than I actually am. Everyone is going to think I have one outfit!
