To every chemistry instructor heading into summer, you've earned it. Truly! But here's something worth sitting with before you close the laptop. Higher education is entering a period defined by declining enrollment, mounting financial pressure, and institutions being asked to do more with less. And gen chem? It's often the first place students decide whether…

🔬 Ask any gen chem instructor what keeps students from succeeding, and you'll hear the same thing. It's not that they aren't smart enough. It's that they stop believing they are. New research from the Journal of Chemical Education confirms what many of us already suspected: students frequently rely on rote memorization in chemistry and…

💡 Every chemistry instructor knows the look. Week three. A student sits in office hours, visibly defeated. They studied. They really did. But gen chem feels like a wall they can't get over, and they're already thinking about changing their major. That moment is why so many of us got into chemistry education in the…

This week has been a lot. It's the final day of National Teacher Appreciation Week and across college campuses right now, chemistry instructors are simultaneously grading finals, writing recommendation letters, and cheering on students who are days away from crossing a stage in cap and gown. That's not a job. That's a calling. To the…

☄️ The force holding atoms together? Chemical bonds. 🌌 The explosions in space battles? Exothermic reactions. 🤖 What powers droids and lightsabers? Electrochemistry. 🧬 What makes the Force sensitive? Probably mitochondrial biochemistry (thanks, midi-chlorians). And just like a Jedi needs a master to guide them through training, your students need support that meets them exactly…

REAL CHEM is a research-backed general chemistry platform built on one hypothesis: When students see how chemistry connects to their lives and careers, they go deeper. Here's what that looks like in practice: -Cinematic videos that place chemistry inside real-world scenarios students actually care about -DOT, an AI-powered tutor that meets students exactly where they're…

💡 Whether we planned for it or not, AI is showing up in chemistry classrooms across the country, in how students research, how they problem-solve, and how they study when no one is watching. The question for gen chem instructors isn't whether AI belongs in education anymore. It's whether the AI your students are using…

At many colleges, only a few weeks remain in the semester. And this is the point where things can go either way. 📅 Some students start to pull it together. Others quietly fall further behind — not because they don't care, but because there are still gaps that never fully got addressed. At this stage,…
