I’m still living in an alternate universe in which Clement’s long fly ball was dropped when the outfielders collided.

Rather than AI literacy we could vastly increase productivity by making sure people knew the basics of spreadsheets and word processing

Chlorine Triflourode is a “molecule” in the same way a guy, his wife who he cheated on, his mistress who just dumped him, and the raccoon in his back yard are a “family.”

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

Naming my security company after the giant evil eye that, crucially, was too distracted to see the actual threat sneaking in

Put a toaster on a high speed train and it beats that time easily.

One of my favourite first year questions is ”How do we know that g orbitals exist if there are no g-block elements.”

I usually ask the class that question the next class if it comes up.

Hey, keep your hands off my g-block!

They’d be so hard to get out of your teeth afterwards.

O’s before Os.

Hell of a way to make an exit.

They should bring a couple of vials to pass around the room.
