Just finished The Brothers Vonnegut: Science & Fiction in the House of Magic, about Kurt and Bernard and how their lives intertwined at General Electric. Excellent read.

I love this! A while back it was my job to order 3D-printed CD-MOFs for Fraser to show-n-tell. By the way, did you know that Maye Musk (Elon's mother) was at one time a model for Fraser's skin care company?

I was a "Scout" in the Girl Scouts (and still am a lifelong member). Several years ago together with Fran Kravitz in the Chicago ACS Section I helped write a manual for the Marie Slowdowska Curie Chemistry Patch activity for young girls.
