Ok, I got that blog post out. I'm still trying to refine my grading system without tearing it all down. Curious if others have thoughts. Please get in touch with ideas if something resonates.

I really like the idea of SBG, though have never tried to implement it.
On thing I did to reduce grading is make most work practice. Then they turn in one problem to demonstrate they learned the topic. 60% of the grade on this problem is their explanations/reflection of their process and what they learned.
I grade on a rubric and give them a descriptive jared: excellent, acceptable, developing, or needs improvement. They have to look in gradebook to see points.
@JustCodeCulture@histodons That might be in one of the vacuum chambers in my building. I can’t tell. Either that one or one that has since been demolished.
@JustCodeCulture@histodons Here’s the facility in question, when it was newish. Mostly used for ion propulsion tests, but some other tests have gone in there over the years.
The authors have used a computational framework for automatic reaction discovery and kinetic model construction to explore the elementary reactions during methane pyrolysis. They automatically build the methane reaction network, going from ab initio molecular dynamics to kinetic modeling predictions.
Highlighting a neat paper in #ChemicalScience that might have relevance to #Glycotime (I think, and I hope since I am not within this area of research. Apologies if I got this wrong!)?
"De novo glycan sequencing by electronic excitation dissociation MS2-guided MS3 analysis on an Omnitrap-Orbitrap hybrid instrument"
When this one was submitted I was really interested in the use of the hybrid instrument. Very cool analytical work!
TIL Yi Cui's group at Stanford had a Nature Paper retracted for alleged data fabrication? S/o to the @PubPeer browser extension once again for bringing it to my attention.
Also some other not-great allegations in the PubPeer thread 😬
