Yup. Many of us had chores magnetically attached to the family fridge with a red and black dry-erase marker conveniently nearby. Sure, we didn't have 'sprints' or weekly meetings like the families in this article, but if I mi

I think the degree of disobedience from faculty varies between disciplines and schools. Professors in the humanities seem more inclined towards activism or iconoclasm than STEM. This isn't a dig at anyone, it's just that people wh

Common processes for making sarin have diisopropyl methylphosphonate (DIMP) as a by-product, which is not very deadly[0]. You can buy it on Fisher Scientific for 30$. Not sure if biochem screens are matching for this compound, but it's
