- A chemistry Fairy Tale:
- If you look closely (at this chart) you can see
- the electrons whirring around the nucleus... (?)
- If you look hard, you can see fairies...(!)
- I have seen miracles,
- I have seen ghosts,
- I have seen angels,
- but atoms remain ((hidden)).
- I think I have heard fairies gliding by me,
- So have others;
- But I have never heard someone say
- they felt or saw an atom.
- Which is the fairy tale?
- Here are the ten myths of an academic career :
- At last I'll have some money
- I'll have my life back
- I thought I was supposed to be a teacher, not a researcher
- Just call me, 'Dr.'
- I'm now the expert, so I can teach
- I've done a dissertation, so I can do research
- I do my job. What else do you want?
- My colleagues will be thrilled for me when I succeed
- All is fair in academe: I'll advance solely on my merits
- I can be happy only as an academic
mosquito was heard to complain
"A chemist has poisoned my brain." The cause of his sorrow was paradichloro- diphenyltrichloroethane.
- Two sodium atoms were walking along the street when one stops and says, "Oh my goodness, I think I've lost an electron!" "Are you sure?" asks his companion. "Yes," replies the first sodium atom. "I'm positive." or the equivalent:
- Two ions are talking to each other in a solution. One says: "Are you a cation or an anion?" To which the other replys, "Oh, I'm a cation." The first asks, "Are you sure?" The reply, "I'm positive."
- "What is zinc?" That's what you do if you can't zwim.
- "Why do chemists use nitrates?" Because they are cheaper than day rates.
