Instagram Repost by IKA - what a surprise

While supervising my Bc. student, I challenged him to take pictures while doing lab work. I personally do it while it catched the most interesting moments in the life of chemist that also appeal to wide audience. It just happened, that Paul was performing a reaction in pyridine, that was later on quenched with triethylamine. We both witnessed few color changes, while doing the workup.\



Challenge accepted – bubble gum created 😀

So we took some pictures, chose one that I called a „pinky beauty“, posted them on my instagram account. The following morning (I am an early bird, you know, so 05:05 AM), I found out, that IKAworld reposted our picture with a description „Bubble gum (🍬)“. What a surprise, I have to say! After couple days, the number of likes landed at 404



I was very pleased, that IKA shared our content to much wider science audience and Paul was also surprised that his picture made it all the way to IKA’s content.

Synthetic chemistry is full of surprises and even more fun when you take pictures.
