Let's not forget our students. The Texas A&M Student Bonfire Association members are employing skills they learned at TAMU, to remove tons of downed trees to look for flood survivors. Bravo. kbtx.com/2025/07/08/agg…
While we struggle to grasp the magnitude of the loss felt by so many of our fellow Texans and offer up our prayers for the victims and their families, the brave men and women from across the A&M System were risking their lives to save others caught in dangerous flooding.
Once again, let me stress to our users.. Plasticine is NOT a good material to use for securing you pins for LT data collection. Heat transfer and icing issues. Thank you.
Single Crystal Diffraction : Dos and Don'ts. Do not secure your mounting pin with clay (LN2 icing) Do secure your mounting pin with colored nail polish. We use red nail polish, to identify our specimen holders.
Dr. François Gabbaï and his team at @TAMUChemistry captured two rare stages of bond formation—an uncommon feat in physical organic chemistry. Their findings, published in @ScienceMagazine, could help shape future catalyst design. 🔬 artsci.tamu.edu/research/updat…
You get a cigar....
Because everyone turns up, makes a mess and then leaves? 😑
Name that tool. Hint : It was/is used for X-ray producing device.
Answer me this : Why is cleaning up your lab on a Monday morning, similar to cleaning your house after a weekend long slumber party?
1) Yellow Rose of Texas--- Texas Revolutionary Song
I am going to settle this once and for all. Here are the top five songs about Texas or Texas places .. in order. 1) San Antonio Rose --- Bob Wills 2) London Homesick Blues --- Gary P. Nunn 3) Amarillo by Morning --- Terry Stafford and George Strait 4) El Paso ---- Marty Robbins…
Thank you friends.
Let's stop playing the blame game and all just pray for Texas. This is going to get worse before it gets better. Rest assured that your Cajun cousins are on the job! 🫡💪 #CajunNavy
When people outside of Texas ask why we’re so loyal to a private company like @HEB…this is the reason. Every disaster we have, they beat the Red Cross there and do so much to help. Born and raised Texas right here!
T&P to all our friends in Kerr County.
State officials said Friday night that at least 24 people have died in the catastrophic flood that swept through Kerr County early Friday morning, and 23 girls from Camp Mystic, a private Christian girls’ camp, are still unaccounted for. bit.ly/4lHbJ3W
It is official, it was cooler on July 2, 2025 in Paris Texas (93F, 34C) than it was in Paris France (104F, 40C).
DIY 1/16 Viton® diaphragm for a Thomas 927CA18 pump, used for Oxford Cyrosystems 500/700/800 LT attachments. Shears and Razor blades not shown.
Complex sulfur bonds in proteins. Next they will find S8 (octasulfur), the inorganic chemists dead-end.
Researchers have discovered previously undetected chemical bonds within archived protein structures, revealing an unexpected complexity in protein chemistry. phys.org/news/2025-05-c…
Next question. MicroED or 3DED or ScED I prefer ScED for continuity with ScXRD, ScND, PXRD etc.
