Back in the Chemistry lab. These photos were from my 4th year Advanced Inorganic Chemistry lab. The experiment today was mainly about boiling ferrocene with aluminum, aluminium trichloride, Mesitylene and water in a Nitrogen environment. The rest of the photos are of purified ferrocene which was done by sublimation, precipitating orange crystals from a cruder ferrocene powder. The lab is a long one and won’t end for a few weeks so might post more photos. #chemistry #inorganicchemistry #chemistryclass #chemmajor #science #stem (at Thompson Rivers University - TRU World) https://www.instagram.com/p/BstpGGVHLSB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j6n5ntd27j0h

Today wasn't a good day in my Organic Chemistry lab. I slipped and dropped my watchglass containing my synthesized and purified product (Cholesteryl Acetate, which took 2 weeks to make). It shattered. I lost most of it on the ground. =/ Luckily I salvaged enough for an IR scan (nujol mull) and melting point determination, but won't be able to know my yield. #Realtimechem #chemistry #organicchemistry #chemmajor #chemistrymajor #stem #science #oops https://www.instagram.com/p/Boz4gpJnU0e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v775xjybeuyo

Lab selfie. 👨🏻‍🔬This was in my 3rd year Analytical Chemistry lab. I'll make another post on the things I did in the lab. The lab was mostly on calibrating a gas chromatograph. #chemistry #chemmajor #chemistrymajor #analyticalchemistry #science (at Thompson Rivers University - TRU World)

Weekend plans: Studying/ reading for my Astronomy and Anthropology courses. No real homework yet. At least the material is interesting. Science. 😍 #reading #books #anthropology #astronomy #science #sciencenerd #chemistrymajor #chemmajor #me (at Kamloops, British Columbia)

First day (of my last year) of school! #gudvibesonly #lastyear #ssu #chemmajor

My family had an early Christmas today because my sister and brother could only make it home this weekend. I love this nerdy chemistry shirt. My family knows me well. ❤🤓 #sciencenerd #chemistry #chemnerd #chemmajor #me #christmas (at Denman Island, British Columbia)

I’m happy because this lab instructor is a really harsh marker. And last year I failed this lab section. So I think I have a pretty good chance of getting a B or an A in this course.
