    Chemistry is, well technically, chemistry is the study of matter. But I prefer to see it as the study of change.

      Chemistry is the study of the physics of the outer electron shell, as my physics teacher used to say.

        And that’s honestly a real shame when you think about what that tells us about how our society values education.

        But nobody does think about it, because thinking about it doesn’t put bread on the table.

    I used to be an experimental chemist in the bathroom sink after my parents fell asleep. On one occasion, my father told me that he had to throw out my concoction I had saved since the night prior because it had attracted and killed a few roaches. I accidentally made a roach attractant and poison as a kid using substances found in an ordinary home.
