A
list of a Chemist's Favorite Things:
After going to
see the Memphis Redbirds play the Isotopes, I started thinking about what items
a chemist might be interested in. Here is what I've come up with so far,
can you add anything to my list? E-mail me at mdraganj@astate.edu to add an entry.
If accepted, I will add your item, and if you like, give you credit for the
entry.
