🎵I've made my schemes
Line after line
Written my sentence
Experimentals so fine
NMR tables
I've made a few
I've had my share of plans scooped in my face
But I've come through (and I mean to go on, and on, and on, and on)
🎼
We write the patents, my friends
And we'll keep on writing 'til the end🎵

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

While setting up NMR spectrometers in New Zealand, we had a choice. Either set the machines upside down or get upside down spectra. We chose the latter, coz the other choice would've spilled out the liquid nitrogen.

Protodeboronation during Suzuki reactions is not due to the presence of base, it is due to the Curse of Yamada, a co-author who did not win the Nobel Prize.

A note to chemical vendors…
I don’t mind getting an out of stock email

But-PLEASE-tell me more than “catalog number——- is out of stock”. Tell me what that compound is

I just ordered 6 things from you now I have to go look up to see which one I’m not going to get
