Surviving chemistry 

Welcome to Nicki's Noggin! My goal is to be your ultimate guide through the fascinating world of chemistry! Chemistry is difficult, but never impossible! I want to share my tips and tricks on surviving chemistry, whether it be a required general chemistry course, or all the way to graduate school!

I created Nicki’s Noggin as a way to talk about my experiences as an undergraduate chemistry major as well as my experiences navigating chemistry graduate school! I want new chemist to love the act of learning chemistry and experienced chemist to understand that they are not alone in their struggles!

I understand first-hand how difficult it can be to stay motivated in chemistry! Chemistry is hard, but I believe that anyone can be a chemist with the right teaching and mindset!

This website is a safe space for chemist everywhere to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly that comes with chemistry!

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less”
