Younger kid was asking if I’d had classes that were curved and if I hated them. Told them I got an A in a #gradschool class where I scored 50% on the exams (#Organometallics taught by Wolczanski) and that it was my 2nd favorite class (after #Polymers by Coates).

They asked what I would score now. I estimated 30% without retaking the class and 70% if I did.

“Oh, so you’ve improved!”

Love that kid. #chemiverse #growthmindset #BrutalCurve

We just had funding confirmed for a 4-year PhD studentship in #organometallics for small molecule activation to start in our group @BathChem@twitter.com ASAP. Only UK and EU applicants are eligible I'm afraid. I'll post the full advert when it's out, in the meantime please email me!
